    My dog could not walk when she went to Dr. Ave the first time. She left walking (like a drunk John Wayne), but she was walking! Dr. Ave is amazing! She gave my dog an Xtra 5 or 6 years of pain-free life. Punk (the dog) loved da acupuncture lady!

    This is an amazing veterinary practice and we were so fortunate that we we were referred for our 7 month old Golden Retriever. Dr. Ave is outstanding and so knowledgeable! Thank you for taking great care of Ginger and for all the great information about her health and care!

    Amazing & fabulous. I have been a patron of Dr Ave for several years, and for multiple pets. She and her staff are stellar.Dr Ave has helped in both crisis & palliative matters for my dogs. Her approach to treatment is realistic, and effective. She has helped guide me through treatment options and has never recommended futile care options. She and her staff truly care about the animals, and it shows in the total "package" of care that they provide.Don't wait until your pets are in their last days & you are desperately seeking a miracle cure at the last minute. Bring your pets in now and get them tuned up and on a good maintenance schedule, and hopefully prevent or defray health issues before they become chronic, debilitating disease states. That way your pet can enjoy a boost in health status and you can enjoy them without regrets of exploring all options sooner.I have an ancient little Shih Tzu who, over 2 years ago, was diagnosed with lymphoma. Her vet told me she had maybe 2 months, 4 at the most. Dr Ave put her on a lymphoma protocol (3 traditional Chinese medicine formulations); it is very inexpensive, easy to give. I have been bringing her in for the acupuncture/B12 trigger points/manipulations on a regular basis, and, 2 years later... still plugging along.Dr Ave's care is also very pet-owner effective... we as pet guardians carry so much of the burden (aka stress) of our pets' health, and I quickly came to realize that she was also providing *me* with a lot of care, not just my dogs.I moved very far away recently for 6 months, and she even helped long-distance - talking me down from the ceiling, helping me focus on a sound plan for getting my little Shifu a viable treatment plan in my new location. We're back now, and the first thing I did was get an appointment for my dog. My little dog isn't going to be around much longer, but her time with Dr Ave & staff has helped her be comfortable & has maintained a good quality of life. This has been true of all my dogs that she has treated.Once this current palliative case has passed away, I will continue to bring in my other dogs regularly. They have health issues, and their treatment with Dr Ave has always helped ameliorate their overall health status.Plan ahead. She books up quickly.

    DR. AVE is nothing short of amazing!!! She kept our beloved lab Bridget walking years after Bridget's traditional vet diagnosed her with degenerative myelopathy at age 12. When that vet diagnosed another of his patients with the same disease, he called and asked us for Dr. Ave's information so he could recommend her services as an adjunct to his own. Likewise, Dr. Ave is treating our beloved Phoebe, age 12, who was diagnosed with myxosarcoma and who wasn't a candidate for surgery. It is 7 months later, and Phoebe is still going strong thanks to acupuncture, chiropractic and Chinese herbal treatments. THANK YOU, DR. AVE!!!

    Have been seeing Dr. Ave for our bunnies. She is an animal person and cares the bunnies as if they are her own. She and her staff are professional, kind and dedicated people. The bunnies respond well with her treatment, too. Highly recommended.
