Welcome to THE WELL DOG PLACE. When I graduated from veterinary school in 1983, I truly felt my daily purpose was work myself out of business by partnering with dog parents to maintain a maximum state of wellness and prevent illness for their dogs. That is the mission of THE WELL DOG PLACE. How do we work toward that goal? The key to excellent health is excellent nutrition. We absolutely believe t
he wisdom of Hippocrates, the father of medicine, when he said “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.” We help you find the optimum nutrition program for your dog, whether it is commercial dog food choice or homemade dog food. We offer homemade diet programs that are not only nutritionally complete but promote health and vitality. We even offer homemade programs for dogs needing special medical diets that help achieve the same health and vitality advantages. Our health focus is prevention. That is why we schedule 1-hour appointments. We take time to partner with you to develop a comprehensive, individualized wellness program for your dog, not just concentrate on existing problems. Our emphasis is on appropriate nutrition and health aids to prevent problems and regular diagnostic screening to identify potential problems when treatment is more effective. But even the healthiest pet can be plagued by allergies, the aching of aging joints and other chronic conditions. Our guiding treatment philosophy also comes from Hippocrates- “First, do no harm.” We strive for the most accurate diagnosis of a problem and then design an appropriate, targeted treatment program with minimal adverse impact, whether using traditional treatments and procedures or natural, non-invasive alternatives. The comfort and well-being of our patient is always our first priority.
