I can't say enough wonderful things about Alternatives for Animals and Dr. Rettig. If you're…read morelooking for compassionate, thoughtful, and effective care for your animals, I wholeheartedly recommend them. When my older dog started struggling with arthritic joints, we decided to try acupuncture, and it truly turned things around. Before long, he was back to hopping onto his favorite spots -- the couch and the bed -- without any trouble. Seeing that kind of improvement meant everything to me. One thing I appreciate most is that I never once felt upsold. Dr. Rettig only recommended therapies she genuinely believed he needed, and that honesty and integrity are so refreshing. You can tell she truly cares about her patients and their quality of life. The entire staff has always been professional and kind, and everyone there is wonderful with humans too -- which matters so much. When my dog was diagnosed with untreatable cancer, Dr. Rettig helped give him the best months he possibly could have had. That gift of time, comfort, and dignity is something I'll always be grateful for. I also love that they carry really high-quality foods, treats and other products, which makes it easy to support your pet's health in every way.

I need more stars to give. Dr. Rettig is essential to our family, and I have told her that if she…read moreever moves away, she should just plan that we are coming along with her. From our very first visit, she completely understood and intuited the needs of our sweet dog Jojo, and has kept her healthy and vibrant well into her "senior years" (I use quotation marks because Jojo is about 13 years old but is frequently mistaken for a puppy, given how youthful and energetic she is). I can't even begin to express what a tremendous gift it has been to feel secure that we can handle any health issues that come up for Jojo, with the support of Dr. Rettig and her team. We animal guardians love our little ones so much, and there's nothing worse than watching them suffer and not knowing how to help. Whenever I can surrender enough to completely hand over the assessment and decision making to Dr. Rettig, we always get a good outcome. On more than one occasion, we have seen resolution of an acute issue within 24 hours of our treatment session. It's been truly remarkable. Dr. Rettig is an expert in holistic animal care, but on the few occasions that Jojo has needed specialty help from a traditional vet, Dr. Rettig communicated that to us immediately and supplied us with wonderful referrals. We trust her recommendations completely. Jojo loves Dr. Rettig, too! She is often eager and excited when we arrive at the clinic, which is not the case with ANY other vet we have taken her to see. We all know how lucky we are to have access to such a unique healing practice!

I think my puppy must have fallen in love with Dr. Bane immediately, because by the time the two of…read morethem came out to the sidewalk (Covid precaution) to continue our quite extensive initial appointment, she had his absolutely devoted attention, cooperation, & trust. Dr. Bane's exam (March 2021) was comprehensive and well-beyond helpful. She noted that he had an undescended testicle (totally missed by the staff at a local corporately owned vet hospital, and by me), and spent lots of time offering much needed guidance about his diet -- including offering me a basic recipe that greatly improved upon his home-cooked meals and analyzing what vitamins and minerals should be added to make them optimal. Since I also feed him Carna4 kibble, she went over those ingredients thoroughly as well. As is common with doodles, my pup has a somewhat sensitive gut and itchy skin. When Animal Biome sent a detailed report on his microbiome, Dr. Bane spent half an hour of her own time (no charge to me) consulting with their microbiologist, and then spent lots of time (at a very reasonable cost) going over their report with me and making recommendations. She's been wonderfully accessible and thoughtful whenever I've needed guidance -- most recently about a minimally invasive approach to his cryptorchid neutering and gastropexy, and in a short time I've come to trust her completely. I'm very thankful we found our way to All Paws and especially to Dr. Bane!

After Laura had a couple of remote sessions with him he began to approach me, would meow when hungry, and would walk right up to me while I fed him, even eating while I was still putting food in his dish. After a couple more sessions he started to rub up to me, head butt me, talk to me. He is now a completely different and relaxed cat. Talks to me, loves to be pet, purrs whenever I'm petting him or holding him, and loves to walk throughout my house, comes when I call to him. His attitude change was so quick after his first session and now after a few more I can truly say he is now my loving boy! From wild to house cat! Thank you Laura, Smokey thanks you too!

Dr. Chalmers did her usual arcane muscle testing before providing multiple detoxifying and supportive supplements plus two homeopathic remedies, which have considerably reduced the frequency and intensity of seizures and reanimated her energy. Dr. Chalmers appears more comfortable communicating with the pet than with its person; she makes a visible strong connection with the pet that for our dog and us has been very beneficial. Alexa, the office manager, is a gem who can explain procedures and the recommended supplements. This practice is a good alternative when more conventional vet care seems less than ideal for a particular condition, and is especially good for palliative care for aging companions.
