The Whole Pet

I love Dr. SaLee. I started seeing her because of her background in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). My dog was diagnosed with an autoimmune liver disease, and there was little hope to control his disease with western medicine. She knew exactly what do it! It has been 10 months since we have started seeing her, and my dog has been managed amazingly. I believe we are heading in the right direction and she has added on many years to my dog’s life. I cannot say thank you enough to her!
She is patient and listens to all questions you may have and is through in her exam. Dr. SaLee is a wealth of knowledge. I greatly respect her and her opinions!

We, and our «furkids», are clients for life. We came to The Whole Pet following a series of suspicious diagnoses from our (former) vet. Our Poodle had been diagnosed for the same symptoms on two separate occasions as an abdominal strain and then as depression, both times with no testing or really any examination done. So we came to the wonderful Dr. Doering for a second opinion. After a couple of tests, she had the answer. My poor pup had pancreatitis, and had likely had it for a couple of years based on how long she had these same symptoms. A round of medication, rechecks, and her insides are back to normal. Woohoo!
Vaccines: I don’t get the same guff that I used to get from my old vet about vaccinating my dogs. I’m a believer in appropriate vaccination, and with two high exposure dogs (one is a service dog, the other a rockstar of a pet who comes to work with me), they need to be protected. Dr. Tartoff and Dr. Doering always remind me when vaccines are due, and help me keep on top of their heartworm and flea/​tick prevention. Both of them are so sweet and patient, which means a lot to me because I know that I can be a pain in the rear with my constant questions and inquiries.
Dentals: Our poor, unfortunate cat has a weird genetic thing where his body rejects his own teeth. Weird, I know. Lucky for us, Dr. Doering is a master at veterinary dentistry and keeps on top of his dental care like no one else. As his body tries to reabsorb his teeth, and eats away at them over time, they become increasingly difficult to work with. Unabated, she tackles those fangs and makes sure that healthy ones stick around, while the ones losing the fight come out with as little pain as possible. It’s so good to know that he’s in the right hands, and when Tucker comes in to get a broken molar removed this month, I know that he will be with the best possible vet for the job.
Regular pet stuff: Man, the staff here rocks. They remember me and my pets so well, all I have to do is call in and say «hi, it’s Siobhan, Shilah and Tucker’s mom» and they are ready to take care of me. Seeing my dogs as chill as they are here is awesome. Shilah is a drama queen, always has been, but Tucker lights up when we come here. He actually likes his vet, and I think that should speak for itself. They, unlike a lot of vets I’ve tried over the years, actually care about your pet, and are ready at the drop of a hat to help you out. For me, my pets are family, and it’s so relieving to know that they’ll get treated like family when they come to The Whole Pet.
