The best Veterinary experience I have ever had. I am 65 and I have had 12 dogs and three horses over the years so that is saying something! Dr. Dallas spent all the time we needed and I have never felt like my pet was in better hands. I drive over two hours each way to be able to have Dr. Dallas on my dogs health care team. I feed my dog a real food species appropriate diet and I like knowing that he is getting everything he needs from my recipes that I formulate on Animal Diet Formulator.

As a CTICU (cardiothoracic intensive care unit) Nurse I can say I know quality healthcare, this is not it. I did not see any malpractice, but the complete lack of professionalism is concerning. Tamara has really poor bedside manor, made multiple condescending comments about my “anxiety” for my dog who just underwent a CCL repair, and has really poor social skills. She also doesn’t understand consent, as she continued to make adjustments on my dog after I told her to stop. We are traveling nurses and have been to countless acupuncturists for our dog, would 10/10 recommend somewhere else

Meet Mama, a sassy feline, who strongly dislikes going to the vet (even though her mother works as a veterinary technician). Mama has numerous health issues that has her primary veterinarians scratching their heads in confusion. Dr. Dallas took the challenge and Mama was treated with such kindness, empathy, and understanding from Dr. Dallas and Melissa. Mama and I strongly recommend visiting Dr. Dallas and Melissa if you are looking to implement a compassionate holistic aspect to your pet’s treatment.

I found Dr Dallas shortly after my 12 y.o papillon was diagnosed with CHF. I was sad, panicked, and unsure what to expect. Dr Dallas was excellent at talking with me and beyond helpful in educating me with his diagnosis and offered some alternative treatments. My dog wasn’t expected to live past 2021… it’s now April 2022. 🙂 her continued support gives me hope and comfort. HIGHLY recommend. The appointments and costs are beyond worth it.
