I highly recommend this place!
Backstory: My otherwise very healthy cat had a chronic ear infection. I took him to a very expensive "holistic" vet near me (that's how they market themselves but are pretty conventional, turns out) and all they offered to help was antibiotic ear drops. I tried them and the ear infection got worse. So they moved onto antibiotic drops/steroids. I kept asking, WHY is he having this ear infection. They said, oh it could be a variety of things but there is no way to know. I asked them if there were natural options such as collodial silver or apple cider vinegar to try, and they said only antibiotics would work. I was scared so did another round of the drops and another.,...Finally after months of this my cat was hating me due to getting held down and having drops put in his ear twice daily and his ear infection was worse than ever and my vet bills were through the roof for it (luckily insurance kicked in but we are talking it was in the 1,000s and I would have been screwed if not for pet insurance). Anyways, I brought him back to the vet, yet again, and this time they offered to inject a potent and long lasting antibiotic gel into his ear. I was over it. I'm largely against antibiotics, that's why I was at a freaking "holistic" vet!
Desperately, I looked for other options and found Holistic Animal Care under a search for a homeopathic vet. I made the 3 hour (each way) drive to Santa Rosa with my cat for our 2 hour initial appointment. The vet took her time, was gentle and calm and easily figured out my cat's allergies and imbalances through muscle testing.
Even though I am very open minded and have used muscle testing myself..I was still a bit skeptical. After all, the previous vet had said the infection would ONLY be helped by antibiotics.
Anyways, I put my cat on the protocol of supplements and diet recommended and within days he was doing SO much better. Within weeks his ear issues disappeared. And months later he is still well with no ear issues.
I will be taking all my pets to Holistic Animal Care from now on, despite the drive. It is beyond worth it to get true answers and true HEALTH care for your pets!
