Dr. Mathis! From…read morethe bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for helping and reviving our 14 year old Sunny Boy (Shitzu). He hasn't had any more seizures for almost 2 months, and he is so much peppier, engaged, playful and comfortable! As we shared with you, Sunny was looking lethargic and depressed for so long -- for months, if not years, and we just assumed it was "old age" plus his heart murmur -- and we thought there was not much we could do for him (especially in quarantine). And then the seizures started coming --almost every 2 days until you treated him. The herbs you prescribed on his first visit were right on point! No more seizures, and his appetite is also bigger and more enthusiastic and expressive. I'm so grateful I found you back in 2002 (I think) at VCA johnson to take care of our senior Chihuahua Queenie, then our Minipin Sparky, our Jack Russel Pearl, and our ancient 19 year old mini Chihuahua Tynee. Not only did you help us give them all comfort and care, you've been an incredible educator as a holistic pet vet that helped us be better caretakers, as well as better understand the unique "elemental" needs, personality and health issues of each our pets. Thank you for continuing to do the amazing work for these precious beings. We're so blessed to have you and wish you great health and prosperity in all your endeavors! Bless you! The Shemirani Family

This is a VERY long overdue review for Dr. Deb Mathis and I cant believe I havent posted on sooner…read more Deb has worked with generation of pets that have blessed my life. She began working with my W. Hybrid Dakota some time around 2000. Dakota was suffering from sequale of Cipro at the time. It was so heartbreaking to watch him deteriorate. Deb worked with him for years with not only great improvement, but she truly made his final years enjoyable for him. She also was a godsend for me, helping me to prepare for the day my love would be leaving this planet. How to read the signs and know he was ready. She treated him until until his final days and also treated my cat Tuxedo. My life was a mess at the time, working 70 hour weeks with twin boys at home and she was always such a blessing for our animals and family. And Yes, I finally quit that that job, as much as it hurt. Deb has since worked with my Yorkie Poo Max who joined the family in 2005. Max suffered from chronic seizures and ultimately 3rd Degree AV Block and now has a pacemaker. It's been a very tough journey with my animals at times, but having a resource for both Vet Care, Holistic Vet Care and Behavioral Training has been such a blessing. Most recently Deb has been coming by to help with my roommate's puppy. Her pup is a dear but was having a hard time learning boundaries and controlling his aggression which ultimately let to him attacking my Yorkie Poo and exposing the lead to his pacemaker through his neck. It was one of the most traumatizing events I have ever witnessed and Deb came to our rescue using behavioral modification. We have more work to do before the dogs can be in the same room without worry of another attack, but the pup has made amazing improvements. For the two people who posted negative reviews I am only sorry you never had the chance to truly get to know and work with Deb. She drives the Bay Area to do house calls and help these animals. She is a small business, not a corporate owned vet and I LOVE THIS ABOUT HER! What you get with that is quality healthcare for your pet, but you may not get a receptionist who can return calls daily. I get your frustration but it is truly unfortunate you wont get the chance to work with this amazing healer and human being.

Cindie's work with animals is incredibly effective - I've heard of dozens of success stories from…read moreher and her clients. I refer my patients to her services and hear great things in response! One in particular sticks out: A sweet dog was getting eye surgery and I recommended Cindie work with him. And when he came back for his post-surgical check up, the vet was astounded that the inflammation was totally clear - something the vet had never seen before! So if you're wondering whether it's worth it to have your pet receive some energy healing when you're already spending so much for their health - the answer is YES! It can make the recovery process easier and less drawn out for your pet (that means less costly too). If you're looking for an unforgettable experience, take a class with Cindie Ambar. I don't have pets now, but I love connecting with animals. I took my pregnant wife to a workshop at the pregnant mare rescue on how to bond with animals and we had the most magical time. The baby horses came right up to us and loved us up after we meditated with them. I can't think of a better gift to give another person than a magical experience like that! And if you want to build your skills as an animal healer yourself - take her Reiki classes! Cindie is the real deal - give her a call and step into her world. She's got brilliant talents and resources.

There are no words that can accurately portray just how profound and life-altering Cindie's work…read moreis! Cindie is exceptionally adept in understanding what your body, mind, and spirit require at any given moment while supporting you on your healing journey. Her powerful intuition, deep sense of compassion, and rich experience makes her invaluable as a healer and simply a wonderful human being to work with. Over the past 3 years, Cindie has helped me overcome some of the most challenging moments of my life through her vast repertoire of healing modalities; by breaking old patterns, tearing down ancient barriers, and shedding a multitude of layers, I feel a sense of hope and joy restored in my daily life! If you're looking to give holistic healing a try, look no further-I highly recommend booking a session with Cindie!

Found this updated post in my draft folder from a year ago or so. Oops. (Dedicated to Moo-Moo.)…read more Kitty showed improvement after just 2 visits. Our local vets didn't think it was possible. More key points I learned: (6) 50-60°F Cold compresses for 2 minutes, then (5) 105°F hot for 2 minutes. Start with cold & end with cold. This gets the blood moving in & out of the area. Warmth is inflammatory, that's why you need to start & end with cold. I bought a bunch of microwavable heat/cold pads. I would put the hot pads in a pot of hot water while using the cold pads to heat them back up. Make sure the urine stays clean looking (bladder emptied 2 or 3 times a day & antibiotics if an infection develops), the skin & genitals get cleaned & dried well to or not get a skin infection. Females - don't cross-contaminate by bringing feces bacteria to the genitals. Infection = sepsis Products I found helpful: cat waterless shampoo, A+D diaper rash ointment & skin protectant (vet recommended because no toxic zinc in it) , & Honey Pot anti-itch wipes.

Our dog fell off our bed and hurt his hip and started limping and couldn't sit anymore. It was so sad to see a dog that walked 2 miles daily starting to limp. We were worried about coming to see Dr Maeg bc our dog is a bit reactive and not good with new people. However, he loved Dr Maeg immediately. After his first visit his limp was gone and he could sit normally. After our second visit he was like new. We bring him regularly just bc his appts make him so happy. We are so grateful for you Dr Maeg!

Dr. Cecile and dental technician, Franz, along with all the staff are so warm and personable. George's tail was wagging the entire time. The facility was clean and the energy was calm. There is no need to pay for expensive dental cleaning for your pet. Unless there is a need for extracting a tooth why would we place our precious pet under anesthesia? The whole process was less than 30 minutes and cost only $268. The icing on the cake was the written chart (with graphic of his teeth) that identified specific areas to focus on with follow-up care instructions that was provided to us. Top notch care!

We loooooove this place! Both of the veterinarians are amazing. All of the physical therapists,…read morereceptionist, and staff are the best I've seen. I started bringing my dog here to address his luxating patella. We came up with a plan to start shockwave therapy and water treadmill therapy and supplements. We've had two appointments out of the five of the package we purchased. He's much more comfortable with all the staff and treatments now. The first two shockwave treatments are done with the doctors to assess and develop a treatment plan, and the following treatments are done with a certified therapist. Everyone has been so kind to my dog that he loves coming here. And not just for the human grade cheese he's given to do the exercises!! We were also given a comprehensive List of physical therapy movements and stretches to do at home. It's too soon to tell if the treatment is working well, but we have high hopes with this clinic! It takes us about 3 hours of traffic to get to and from this clinic, but it's such a gem. They provide towels and blowdryers and snacks for the water treadmill work. We opted to not try the injection as my dog is scared of shots, who isn't really?! The doctor was so kind to provide us with a another supplement option, which we have started. They check in to see how he's doing at the start of every appointment and tailor the session to his needs. We opted to not go through insurance, but they can help out with paperwork if you do so. Well worth it to learn non invasive techniques to rehab your beloved pups. Can't wait to see my little baby become stronger with these amazing professionals!

It was our first time with an integrative veterinarian, and it was a wonderful holistic journey that helped us to think outside the box as far as health and happiness of our good boy. Dr. Mills is very generous with her time and explains things very thoroughly with lots of great suggestions for everything from weight loss to dog training. We were helped with understanding how to get our very strong personality boy to become the boy whom we love today. The team at the front of the office handles appointments, answers questions, and processes records and checkout with efficiency and kindness. This is the same for the back end of the pharmacy who fill prescriptions quickly and accurately or the technicians who take back one's furry loved one for blood tests, vaccines, or nail trims in a kind manner to avoid stress. Both pups and people alike are treated with respect and are allowed to be an active partner with this practice. Our boy developed idiopathic epilepsy prior to turning four which necessitated Dr. Mills to refer us to the neurologist Dr. Erik Johnson, co-founder of NeuroVet in Pleasant Hill, CA. We continued with Dr. Mills for all things unrelated to neurology and she remained interested in his seizure progress. Prior to moving to a new state, we had a battery of tests and vaccines to ensure that we had the best possible care before having to search for a new veterinarian in our area. Dr. Mills was able to help us out of a bind from afar that was very much appreciated and for which we are eternally grateful. We encourage others to consider Dr. Mills for your pets needs as she can manage any type of pet from a horse to a hamster. If you should require a neurologist, Dr. Johnson will likely be the great resource for you as he was for us.

She's clear on what she finds as she examines my dogs, what options are going forward, and send you a complete report with a detailed home plan. And her doing house calls is a great bonus.
