I have a now, 1 year, 8 months old, male, French Bulldog.
Even though I live in North Seattle. I have been bringing my Frenchie to the Animal Hospital in Lynnwood. Ever since he needed his 1st Puppy Check-up + vaccines. When he was able to come home with me, at 9 1/2 weeks old.
Dr. Sodi is my Frenchie's primary veterinarian and I have always been very happy with all of his advice, an care! Dr. Sodi is also totally on board with the Raw Diet, "SMALLBATCH" (available at All The Best Pets) that I researched, and decided to feed to my Frenchie, since he was a baby.
For years I read up on, and studied everything from health issues, possible behavior issues, and anything else I could find on French Bulldogs (plus saved up for one!). Most articles I found said that if you feed your Frenchie a specially prepared Raw meat diet throughout his life span you can avoid so many health issues that this breed can be plagued with!
So having a veterinarian who was well educated in proper nutrition! Was paramount to me! Dr. Sodi was also spot on, in the diagnosis of the "Seasonal Allergies" that my Frenchie started to develop at 5 months old.
Apparently lots of dogs in WA, can suffer from them (molds, pollens, etc.)
His first recommendation was a Homeopathic solution which worked well, for awhile.
But just like with people, allergies to molds, pollens, etc. can get worse as you get older. So now I give my Frenchie a RX Pill which has made the Flem, and Snorty Attacks, as I call them, almost nonexistent.
When Dr. Sodi hasn't been available, we have seen Dr. Coon. Who is a Naturopathic Veterinarian. She is so thorough with her examinations too! I highly recommended them both!
For myself, I see a M.D. who is also a Naturopath. I also take a lot of Ayurvedic supplements for myself.
So when it came time to find a Veterinarian to care for my puppy. It made sense to give my dog the same, best of both worlds, medical care. This is why I drive there, from Seattle!
I also have a 6 year old, male, Bengal Cat, who's "Cats Only, Veterinarian" retired. So I will definitely bring him to the Animal Hospital Of Lynnwood when, or if, he ever needs to see a Veterinarian. I've been feeding my cat a Raw Diet his whole life (RAD CAT, I buy it frozen). Plus I brush his teeth once a day too.
He is also an indoor cat. So thankfully, he is the picture of health, yeah!
Cuze those Frenchies can be costly! Even though, he is otherwise, extremely healthy & handsome.
Tip: I brush his teeth once a day with Kissable's Dog Toothbrush & Toothpaste
(ALL THE BEST PETS).
Clean his facial wrinkles after every meal with warm water wet paper towels, or a soft wet wash cloth.
Dr. Coon said that TUCKS MEDICATED PADS are great on those facial wrinkles should a rash appear. Read Less
