We had a really bad experience for our first session and I pulled our dog out in the middle of it…read more I was actually surprised that no one on staff ever reached out about it. We used to bring our old dog there in 2018 and had an all around great experience, so this threw me for a loop. While we were waiting for the first therapist we saw the second water treatment therapist treat another human client (who was in the water treatment before us) disrespectfully and rudely; in addition, she was really rough with the elderly dog that came in before us. When it was our turn for water treatment (treadmill) the therapist took our dog inside the room and I told her from the door to make sure to take off her collar because it rusts and she was extremely rude in her response, saying loudly "get away from the door, you're not allowed in here". The front desk person ended up relaying my message to the therapist who said "everything comes off". Really bad attitude, but I still did not say anything. As she began the treatment I was watching through the window and she told me I could not watch and I told her I was not comfortable with that, as I would like to see what she is doing. After another minute she came out of the treadmill and opened the door to say that I could not watch because she has to create a rapport with the dog, at which point I said "OK forget it, this is not working, pull her out". What about creating a trusting rapport with the humans? The dogs cannot talk or consent, so it is all our responsibility to the best we can by them, and I felt that this was not a good situation. The largest difference between our previous experience and this one was communication - in 2018 the therapists went through EVERYTHING with us - from explaining why they were doing certain treatments and how they were isolating certain muscles, to showing us how to do certain treatments, as well as making us a part of those treatments, which was a benefit to us as well as our dog. We were able to bring that knowledge back home for PT at home and felt confident every step of the way. With this last experience, we did not feel confident at any point of the process - we were left in the dark from the very start of therapy and on top of that treated rudely by the very person who is supposed to be caring for our animal. It did not feel good. On top of everything, no one EVER addressed what had happened - I called numerous times and emailed as well (ALWAYS in a nice tone, I was hoping to rectify the situation and hoping this was a one time occurence - someone having a bad day). No one ever called me back or responded. So here we are.

This is a long overdue review. After my Golden had an episode where he couldn't walk after a car…read moreride due to advancing arthritis, the vet wanted to put him on a high dose of anti inflammatory. I preferred to explore a holistic approach and acupuncture made all the difference. I was able to keep him off meds for a long time, and then a lower dose when he needed them. I saw huge results every time we went for acupuncture (about every 3 weeks after the initial visits). I could tell he was more stuff with his hips if we went longer than 3 weeks, really made a huge difference. Dr. Fucco and her staff (Stacey, Stephanie) were so awesome with my dog and were so empathetic when we lost him. She's a former Penn Vet and really knows her stuff, I felt very comfortable trusting her. I also went here when I had to put my cat down and the whole office was crying along with me. I will always be thankful to this office for giving my baby an extra year of happiness and mobility, and for their constant support and sympathy during he entire time. Highly, highly recommend.
