Dr. Polkowski at Comfortable Pets is The Best…read more She visited my senior puppy dog Boom Boom at my house & was so sweet to him. She spent over two hours with us. She examined him & performed various treatments (acupuncture, massage, Assisi loop, etc), but mostly she spent time educating me on how I could care for him better & understand what might be causing him discomfort. I've worked at an animal hospital for over 20 years & am super fortunate to have access to great veterinary care. My dog has a primary veterinarian & I work at an emergency vet facility but Dr. Polkowski was able to offer treatments & knowledge that I wasn't even aware of. She showed me things that I could do at home regularly to help Boom Boom feel better. I adopted Boom Boom from the animal shelter. He came with arthritis & soreness. Fortunately between Dr. Polkowski and Boom Boom's general doctor (at VCA McClave in Reseda), I feel I am better equipped to improve his quality of life.

Best, most caring vet ever. I started fostering and then adopting a husky/pointer mix who my…read moreboyfriend and I named Snoop. She's about a year old and was a mess at first. The foster group (HIT Living Foundation - wonderful people) took her from a high-kill shelter after she was found wandering the streets covered in fleas and ticks and with a lame left leg/paw. She had a brachial plexus avulsion (tearing of the nerves) and wasn't moving the paw, leg or shoulder at all. Any vet will tell you that this is a very hard injury to treat and almost always results in amputation of that leg. Also, in general, Snoop was just not in good physical shape. I found Lori through a recommendation and asked her to come evaluate Snoop after I had been fostering her for about two weeks. I was nervous at first as Snoop is very people scared and only lets my boyfriend and I touch her. Lori, with her wonderful assistant/shaman, Hector (I am not a particularly mystical person but Hector has some super calming influence over animals - even my cat came right up to him and into his lap so I will call him shaman!) came to my home (all covid protocols in) and coaxed Snoop out of her shell and started treating her. Snoop has been getting acupuncture, laser, chiropractic adjustments and B12 shots all from Lori. Snoop looks forward to the visits and is always excited when they come. Also, Lori has trained me quite a bit and I do simple physical therapy exercises with Snoop throughout the week and give Snoop supplements. Honestly all easy stuff that takes about 20 minutes a day. Lori checks in in us regularly and we've now been working with her for about 6 weeks. And the results...Snoop is a different dog. She just started using her shoulder again and regaining some of the feeling in her leg although she still can't walk on it. But she is now full of energy and running around and navigating on three legs quite nicely. She's healthy and filled out and a puppy again. She also can pick up her leg more so she's not dragging the paw around all the time and I don't have to wrap in the house or backyard (only for walks or when we leave). Even if she doesn't regain full use of that leg/paw again, it's been totally worth it. Snoop won't need it amputated and the use of her shoulder is so great. She's also just so healthy and happy now. However, our fingers and crossed and we are still working on getting that paw working. Thanks Lori!

I established care with Holistika Veterinary Clinic in 2024 with one of my cats (I have two)…read more During my first visit I spent over $1,000 on consultation and services. Because of the cost, I needed some time before bringing my second cat in. During that time my second cat had a medical emergency -- a urinary blockage. I rushed him to the emergency vet, where the bill escalated quickly since everything was out of pocket. The emergency vet suggested that to save money, they could give me my cat's urine sample so my regular vet could run the lab tests instead of running them at the emergency hospital. I immediately called Holistika Vet because they were the only veterinarian I had an established relationship with. I was extremely distressed and crying because the emergency vet had told me there was a 50% chance my cat might not survive and that follow-up with my regular vet would be important. The receptionist told me it was their policy that they could not see my second cat because he had never been examined there before. I explained that I understood the policy but asked if they could at least run the urine tests (which I would pay for) to help us understand what caused the blockage. Unfortunately, I was told they could not do that either and that the tests would have to be done at the emergency hospital. The conversation felt very cold and unsympathetic during a moment that was extremely frightening for me as a pet owner. Fast forward to February 2026 -- I scheduled an appointment for both of my cats. A few days before the appointment I received an email canceling it, stating they would no longer see my pets because I had given attitude to the receptionist during the emergency call months earlier. I went in person to speak with management to explain the situation and my perspective. I was told they had no record of the conversation but were still refusing future care. For me, the most disappointing part of this experience was the lack of compassion during a very serious emergency and the refusal to even run a test that could have helped guide my cat's care. Thankfully, I have since found another holistic veterinarian in Glendale, California who has been incredibly supportive.

Our dog has been battling IBD since we adopted him in 2020. After his last flare up, we became…read morefrustrated with the regular commercial vet just constantly recommending harsh steroids - these are making him lose his hair and are not great for his skin and liver. We came here to look for more natural alternatives and met with Dr. Chau. In the short session we had today, we learned about options and recommendations we haven't heard before (herbs, additional tests, and many other potential solutions we can look into). We left feeling more optimistic about potential natural solutions for our fur baby. Our pup is aggressive and bit one of the techs during the saliva sampling - we were absolutely mortified and felt so terrible but the whole staff was so understanding. Everyone there is so sweet and we look forward to the partnership to find a long term solution for our dog. We left with Chinese herbs to help with his severe skin allergies so I'm excited to see if these help him out in the next few weeks! We will also have a follow up consultation once his food allergy test results come back (it's about a 2-3 week lead time).

I cannot recommend Chatoak enough. Not only did we need to call them about our dog at 10:00 PM on a…read moreweekday, but it was also a holiday. The receptionist asked me what was going on, relayed the information to the vet on duty because they were at capacity for the evening, & then thankfully came back to the phone to let me know that they could accept us. The receptionist & staff were super friendly & attentive. The vet, Dr. Gouldburn, was equally as friendly & attentive, & really took his time with us to understand what was going on, examine our dog, & go over the best course of action with us. No unnecessary bloodwork or x-rays were taken or even suggested. He felt confident enough about his diagnosis & suggested we try the pain meds first. Two days later they called to follow up with me to see how our dog was doing, & see if the medication was helping. A few days later our dog developed an irregular symptom, so I called the office. After explaining the symptom to the receptionist, she had me email them a picture & the vet would follow up with me after reviewing it. They could have totally asked me bring my dog in & pay the exam fee so I really appreciate their honestly with not charging their customers unnecessarily. That evening the vet called me & let me know that after reviewing the picture, it did not look like an urgent situation, & to just monitor my dog & let them know if the issue persists or if any other new symptoms develop. He was right, the symptom was not cause for concern & went away the next day. I am so impressed with their office & protocols, & I would definitely recommend them. I was pleasantly surprised & they surpassed my expectations.
