Preventive care

After losing doctor Lester this office has gone very downhill. Doctor Lester understood the balance of caring for your pet but not wanting invasive or expensive treatments at the end-of-life. I have found that the new doctor only recommends the most expensive treatment. I should not be made to feel like a bad person or that I don't care about my 16 year old cat if I don't want to treat him with expensive treatments. I should also not have a medical professional hang up on me because I try to offer this feedback. Apparently the option to give a comfortable life and a graceful death for an animal is no longer given at this office.

We went in last week, with our new rescue dog who is VERY anxious and scared, as well as protective of me. They let us use a back entrance, and exam room, so my dog would not have to go through the waiting room, which would freak her out. The vet tech and the vet were fantastic. Dr. Kieber was one of the best vets we've been to. He was understanding of how scared my dog was, and knew techniques (i.e. did not look her in the eye much, knelt on the floor to see her) to help lessen her anxiety. He also calculated for us, how much food she should be given. Ultimately, we couldn't get her vaccinated, b/c she was too scared, so we were given medication to calm her for the following week. I was so happy with the experience, as having a scared and anxious dog can be challenging enough, but to know we can go to Northern Lakes, and not have her anxiety be increased to an unmanageable level, is so comforting.

Dr Lester was awesome with our therapy pup, (the pup that has severe anxiety mind you lol)! I'm so thankful that I've found a good doctor for her though! I was worried with moving up here that I might not find a good Vet, but he's great!
