My adopted dog, Pooch, a ten-year-old Golden Retriever, has been troubled for ages with sensitive skin allergies. He'd itch, and then bite himself raw, get infections and have to be on antibiotics every other month. Nothing in the realm of western vet medicine was doing much to help.... and then I heard about Dr. Hatfield of Zen Vet.
She treats Pooch with acupuncture, certain Chinese herbs that work wtih his constitution to balance his energies, along with a very fine dog food and certain people-foods that will cool him down.
Pooch is looking so much better, and the constant itching and biting have stopped. He gets very sleepy during the acupuncture and carries that low-key energy for the rest of the day.
Dr. Hatfield is a western-trained Vet who also studied acupuncture and TCM for animals. She is very available if you have questions, and absolutely delightful to deal with. Her love of animals is obvious. She treats them with great respect, gentleness and kindness.
Dr. Hatfield has brought Pooch to a place of physical comfort that I was afraid he would never reach. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who has a pet needing help. She is one of a kind, and thank goodness she's in the neighborhood!
Run, don't walk, to Zen Vet. You won't be sorry. read more
