We have used her since her years strictly in Western medicine and happily followed her when transitioned to a mobile alternative Vet. She helped two of my former dogs with cancer diagnoses, in their hospice care and one in his final moments (Dr. Kim is a true blessing!). Dr. Kim now helps us with our high needs three old Border Collie who has had many physical and emotional challenges since his beginning. She has been there for me (and him) every step of the way.

Truly Lives Up to Its Name!…read more Once again, Wise and Wonderful took excellent care of Charlie, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! Their new office space is open, clean, and absolutely lovely. It's clear they've created a welcoming environment for both pets and their people. A special thank-you to Rebecca, who was so kind and gentle with Charlie. She offered him treats and, just as importantly, respected his limits when he'd had enough of his ear cleaning. That kind of patience, compassion, and understanding means everything when it comes to caring for our furry family members. It's not just the quality of care that makes this place special; it's the genuinely wonderful people behind it. You can tell they truly care about the animals they treat, and that makes all the difference. Thank you, Wise and Wonderful, for taking such amazing care of Charlie, once again! Your name says it all. We're so grateful to have you caring for our furry friends!

Gentle and friendly with my dog and I could see how much Ms Pickles appreciated that. The vet techs have great animal handling, I couldn't have been better myself!

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!

Dr. Bane helped greatly by discussing, and literally writing down a change in diet that helped my girl tremendously with her quality of life. Bellah would literally fall asleep while Amy worked on her. Margaret Holiday gave Bellah the gift of mobile ease and was incredibly helpful in so many ways. I cannot write sufficient praise for these women who help animals, and the dog I loved. Thank you.

Took our 12 year-old mixed breed dog to Dr. Chalmers after she began losing energy and having…read moreperiodic seizures, the cause of which could not be determined by our regular veterinarian without a lot more costly testing. 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.

My experience at Alternatives for Animals has been wonderful. We've been before for non-anesthesia…read moreteeth cleaning, but came this time to address my golden retriever's ongoing food and environmental allergy flare ups, and his general lethargy when taking long walks, etc even though he's only 5. At the appointment, I felt heard and seen with regard to my worries about his overall health and symptoms, as opposed to other vets where I felt his issues were dismissed and a bandaid was applied rather than considering the whole body and systems and his specific needs. I am so happy I was able to find this team! Highly recommend.

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!

For 2 years I had a wild cat I named Smokey. He would come to eat but would only approach after I…read moreclosed the door and walked away. Only sounds I heard was growling or hissing. 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!

I cannot fully express how much Cara has done for me and my lil Capone. I was referred to her…read morethrough a mutual friend when I found out my little guy was diagnosed with a terminal disease. I couldn't have asked for better therapist and person to bring into my life during the most difficult of times. From our very first session, it's like it was meant to be. She was so incredibly understanding and compassionate. She basically held my hand through all the steps I had to go through, that Capone and I had to go through together. She stood by our side for a year. She guided me, emotionally and spiritually. She taught me how to think rationally when making tough decisions, she celebrated our small wins, she talked to me through the darkest of times, all the vet visit, radiation treatments, times filled with tears and guilt. She honored the bond Capone and I have. She helped me stay strong. she taught me to write down what I was feeling, she showed me techniques to get through moments when I would be alone. she constantly checked in and made sure I kept in touch. She held space and even cried with me. And after everything was all said and done, she was still right there, spiritually and emotionally by Capone and my side. She has so much experience with animals both in the veterinary field and as a fur mama herself. I could not have asked for anyone better to be by my side, to share Capone and my journey with. I am forever grateful, and truly honored to have met her. She has a very special gift and an even more beautiful heart. I couldn't recommend her enough. This is exactly what she was born to do. To Cara, Today, 4.16.24, marks the one year anniversary since Capone transitioned. I just wanted to reach out and tell you I am forever grateful for all of your love and support through that really hard time. Thank you for showing up for Capone and I, thank you for selflessness, thank you for your patience, thank you for your understanding. Thank you for your beautiful heart and thank you for being the incredible friend you are! Couldn't have done it without you! Sending all the love and hugs your way! LOVE YOU
