Came home to find my dog laying on her side and unable to get up. Called my local vet and got right in. They took X-rays and said that there was nothing obviously wrong/broken so she probably strained her back and needed rest and drugs. After two days with a little improvement I inquired about holistic therapy. Chiropractic or acupuncture? My vets response was "YES, wonderful", but we dont have that here. So I went looking & asking. A friend recommended Dr. Verna @ Paws for Holistic Pet Care. I contacted her via Facebook. (she is very technology savy) Dr R Verna makes house calls but my dog loves to travel so I loaded her in the car and drove down. This is lovely office w/ a relaxed atmosphere. Very small shop and only has one animal in the building at a time to keep the stress levels down. If you are early, she asks that you wait in the comfort of your car so her current patient does not get distracted by the scent or sound of another person & animal. If you are looking for alternative methods to replace or augment your current veterinary care, please give Dr. Verna a call. :) - PS - you will probably have to leave a VM - its a small office.

I first met Dr. Verna years ago when my Lhasa Apso was suffering severe allergies and infections. While the little patient didnt want to comply with treatment, I never forgot the love and care she poured into him. Even though I decided to go a more traditional route for his allergies, the amount of knowledge I gained from her has no price. When he injured his knee a month ago and our vet suggested surgery, the first call I made was to Dr. Verna! Thanks to her healing hands, we avoided surgery and stopped the pain medications after the first visit. Today he is back to his normal self running, jumping, and playing. She is very patient and so much fun to be with during the appointments! Holistic treatments are not cheap, but the fact that we avoided anesthesia and more meds makes it totally worth it!

Without Dr. Vernas expertise and awareness, the cancer diagnosis in our dog, Lily, would have been delayed. With her recommendation, we were able to begin treatment much quicker. We are treating Lily with a combination of holistic and traditional medicines. Lily sees Dr. Verna on regular basis to continue her holistic therapies. We love Dr. Verna!
