Feeling Pawsitive Veterinary Behavioral Solutions

Dr. Hilliard and the support staff at Feeling Pawsitive provide top notch care. Dr. H is thorough, asks all the right questions, and is always willing to be flexible with treatment plans. I love that she is interested in exploring medical, psychological, and environmental causes of behaviors in addition to what we can do to help our animals through them. Their office also has a line you can text with questions (they hear from me often) which is very convenient! My dog's quality of life has drastically improved since we have started working with Dr. Hilliard's team. Her anxiety, sleep disturbances, and reactivity have all improved significantly with the medication, supplements, and training exercises we began less than four months ago. I can't recommend them highly enough!

It's no understatement to say Dr. Hilliard and her practice changed my life - not to mention the life of my dog, Penny. Before consulting Dr. Hilliard, Penny could best be described as neurotic, frenetic, obnoxious, and constantly in action. She was rarely still for more than a moment, spent hours every day circling and chasing her tail, and she marched around the house incessantly at all hours of the day and night, preventing any of us from getting a good night's sleep. She was miserable and sadly, so was everyone else in my household, because of her inability to just rest. We met with Dr. Hilliard who was incredibly thorough and detailed, asking many questions about Penny's behavior and environment, and really exploring all of the factors contributing to Penny's mental health. Ultimately, she recommended a cocktail of medications and some environmental adjustments to see how Penny might improve - and the difference is nothing short of staggering! For the 1st time in 4 years, Penny slept through the night! She will actually rest in my lap like a typical dog and nearly all of her obsessive behaviors have entirely stopped. She's gone from being an unbearable nuisance to an absolute delight! She's still a fun-loving and energetic puppy and now, all of us can enjoy her and she's truly living a happy and peaceful life! Taking the time to meet with Dr. Hilliard was worth every penny. I only wish we'd seen her sooner!

So impressed with Dr Hilliards thoroughness and thoughtfulness! I have a sweet sweet dog struggling with pain and anxiety which has turned into aggression. She made us feel comfortable talking about it all and made Rosie as comfortable as possible during our visit. We explored every avenue to help Rosie be her best and make our lives a little easier. My husband and I feel much more confident in our plan to take care of her

Dr. Hilliard and her staff are phenomenal. They truly care about their patients (and the parents)! They have always gone above and beyond for us. Our Loki had a lot of behavioral issues when we came to them, and now she is so much more manageable, and is thriving. We have a better quality of life thanks to their help. We could not have asked for a better practice to bring our Loki to. We are forever grateful to them!

Dr. Adele Hilliard is obviously very knowledgeable, both as a vet and a Behaviorist. She has a wonderfully warm and calm bedside manner, and immediately put me at ease, as well as my pup, Skye. She showed a genuine interest in Skye and was very compassionate with respect to his behavioral issues and everything we had gone through in the last year. Dr. Hilliard's treatment plan was extremely well thought out and comprehensive. She is a great communicator and because there was so much information for us to absorb, she graciously allowed us to record our session, which I found to be extremely helpful. She also provided extensive written exam notes. Dr. Hilliard and her staff were very open to answering all of our questions. Most of all, she made me feel hopeful about the potential for Skye's future progress.
