It was definitely by far the best consultation given to me by a veterinarian that I have ever had. The veterinarian, Dr. Nielsen Donato, hosts the wildlife and environment show Born to be Wild. You would think that he would be arrogant since he is a TV celebrity, but he is NOT. I definitely saw how much he loves and cares for animals. He was able to carry my niece's pomeranian (Pepper) that normally barks and dislikes having strangers carrying him. I very seldom have the opportunity of carrying Pepper.
While Dr. Donato was carrying Pepper, he showed me all of Pepper's allergic reaction locations. He gave me information regarding the causes of the hyperpigmentation. He then proceeded to show me a website that that had an image of Pepper's diagnosis.
Dr. Donato also carried my niece's toy poodle (Nacho). I was worried because Nacho was constantly scratching himself, whenever he wasn't walking around. He would scratch himself to sleep, and then wake up scratching. Since the scratching started when the dog food was changed, Dr. Donato suggested to change both Pepper and Nacho's dog food to a no grain salmon dog food.
He walked with us to their reception area which had numerous dog food and treat options. He recommended three different brands, but he also told us what he would choose for the pets. Of course, we chose the one that he would choose.
We then walked back to the office to continue the consultation. I have had numerous pets and have gone to a few veterinary clinics. Once I find a good veterinarian, I continue using the same one. My niece has 3 Pomeranians from a local breeder, and 2 Pomeranians from Korea. Nacho is her only toy poodle that is from Korea. She has a veterinarian that does house calls. They go to Vets in Practice for a second opinion and their clinic's services.
I would highly recommend Dr. Donato at Vets in Practice located at The Fort. read more
