Animal Health & Healing

Dec 2022

It's been over twelve years, I think it is easily time to update my review. To be honest, things really haven't changed that much, I still think Dr. Gardner is awesome and I like the fact that they also practice holistic medicine. The entire staff is passionate about what they do and you can see the love they have for their patients. I recently had a very sick boy and made frequent calls to their office and they had so much patience with me. In the end, I had to make the call and lead my boy across the Rainbow Bridge and they were so kind and showed so much compassion towards me. When anyone ask me for vet recommendations, Animal Health & Healing is the first one I tell them about. I now live in IL and make the drive so my dogs have the best care.

The staff at Animal Health & Healing is second to none. The first time I called, they hadn’t even seen my dog before - Karen was so patient answering all my questions and was just genuinely so kind. I then scheduled an appointment with Dr. Garden for my Lab, Yadi, and I have never looked back. She has given me the best advice and guidance when it comes to supplements and maintaining his overall wellness that while he’s almost 11 - he’s as spry as he was 5 or 6 years ago. I could go on and on, but if you are able to get an appointment I highly recommend 10/10.

My last two cats were rescues, around two years old, both females, from the same litter. One was a black cat with tuxedo markings, Julie, and the other was a tortoiseshell, Janie. Just cats, but both sweethearts. Janie developed stomach problems, and no matter what I fed her, she couldn't keep it down. After several trips to a reputable Vet clinic, and various treatments, including an endoscopy, the vet there had no answers. I asked about holistic therapy and I got a shrug. Somehow I found Animal Health and Healing. Dr. Garden spent plenty of time quizzing me and checking over Janie. She asked me about food allergies, and I said I didn't know. She did some tests and found out that Janie was allergic to almost every meat that most cats commonly eat. Janie got on a diet of more unusual meats and was able to keep her food down and gain weight. With careful checking and monitoring, Dr. Garden kept track of both cat's health and age changes over the years and they both lived long, healthy lives. They were around two years old when I adopted them in 2007 and Janie died in 2021, at 16, and Julie died just a month ago at 17. I give Dr. Garden and her caring staff all the credit for keeping my sweet girls well and happy for so long. Everybody has to say something about the cost: How valuable is the health of your pets? You get what you pay for. My cats were worth every cent.
