HarmonyVet Acupuncture and Spine Care

My French Bulldog has been going to Dr. Andrea once a month to help treat her neck and spine issues. Wednesday she woke up not being able to move her neck and could hardly walk. Dr. Andrea got her in that afternoon for a treatment. The results were absolutely AMAZING! Gigi was almost back to her normal self the next dat!

I didn’t know what to expect. My elderly dog has lost motion in his back end. Not only does Dr Andrea take good care of berk, she always makes me feel comfortable and answers so many questions, going as far as sending me articles. Overall we are happy with results and notice when he needs treatment. Also, berk loves the snuffle mat and lick mat she has ready for him.

Update: my baby passed away 2 years ago, at 15.5. I still think often of Dr Andrea with gratitude. My dear angel Mavi would likely have made it a little longer had we lived full time in Madison, but sadly my work was in NJ and she always declined sharply there. Acupuncture and laser treatments seemed to help her a lot. I was also so grateful for Dr Andrea's patience and for the way she went above and beyond. We often showed up significantly late, and I felt terrible that this probably made it seem like I didn't respect Dr Andrea's time, but she seemed to understand that it was due to my constantly underestimating the difficulty of settling my crippled baby in the car. She helped when I accidentally cut my baby's nail too short and brought her in with it still profusely bleeding. She helped with general advice, and on figuring out when it was time to let my angel go. I am very grateful for how much she improved my beautiful Mavi's quality of life in her final years. Original Review: My sweet 13-year-old doggie, Mavi, has presumed herniated discs in her back (her liver is not up for the anesthesia that would be needed to confirm with an MRI, nor for surgery). She's been unable to walk more than a few steps without assistance since mid-Oct, so our vet suggested we give acupuncture a try. So far, it seems very promising! We saw Dr Andrea for the first time just before Christmas. She was very sweet and gentle with Mavi, who seemed nervous, but relaxed enough to accept treats (she refuses them at the vet and the groomer). That night and the next day, Mavi did not seem great, but she had also been exceptionally active. And I figured I could only expect one acupuncture session to do so much for a serious back injury. So planned to give it another try. The second day after acupuncture, she suddenly seemed significantly better and more comfortable! At this point, I still wasn't sure whether it was the acupuncture or whether she was simply recovering (I came into acupuncture a bit skeptical, but desperate). But figured it was worth booking a return visit. About 10 days after acupuncture she started declining again, which basically convinced me that it *was* the acupuncture that helped her, but that the effects were now wearing off. We went back for our second visit yesterday. This time, Mavi wasn't at all nervous!, and actually seemed to really enjoy the appointment. I love that I am able to stay with her the whole time, and she seemed very happy and relaxed, enjoying the gentle attention. Afterwards I took her both to the pet store and the park, after keeping her cooped up for weeks for fear of causing further injury. She was overjoyed and went for a much longer (assisted) walk than I would have preferred, but nonetheless seems better today than yesterday. Sadly we don't live in Madison anymore and can only see Dr Andrea on vacations, otherwise I would bring her every couple weeks for sure. I am so far a big fan :). It's wonderful to find someone my dog likes who is able to help her in a relaxing trauma-free way.

We recently started to go to Dr Marcus for my dog who struggles with regular vet visits to begin with, but was showing some jaw pain. My dog is very active in sports and we wanted to make this a routine visit once her jaw issues are fully resolved. He has been very patient with her, making sure she was comfortable and relaxed. We’ve been to a few visits now and today’s was by far the best. It was great to see the instant relaxation in my dog as he was adjusting her. Highly recommend!

We are so glad to have found Dr. Dawn at Harmony Vet! Before she passed last year, we took Cleo, our senior (13-15yrs old during treatment time) black lab, to see Dawn for various conditions that western medicine hadn't helped. Her most serious issue was lack of mobility that also contributed to weight gain. We honestly thought we were going to have to let her go before we took her to Harmony. After several acupuncture treatments and adding herbs to her diet, she went from being a dog that could barely stand on her own to a dog that was going up and down stairs and for walks again. Without a doubt, Dawn's treatments added time and quality to her life. Dawn has also been treating my cat, Sophie, for some respiratory and weight loss issues and she is doing SO much better. While she is still prone to congestion, we are now managing her symptoms with treatments and herbs. She is back to herself, attitude and all! The doctors at Harmony Vet Acupuncture & Spine care truly care about the animals they see, as well as their humans. They will work with you, your animal, and your primary vet to find the best solution to whatever your issues your furry family member might have. I highly recommend them!
