So helpful, sweet and kind. My dog who is usually very anxious is more calm with them than any other unknown person. AND the treatment they did helped with her anxiety!!! YAY!!

We started bringing our then 11-year-old lab mix Dave to the amazing women at Alternatives For Animals when he started experiencing severe arthritis. Within a month he was back to chasing balls, going on walks, and climbing up stairs. For the following four years, the quality of life their treatments provided for him got him through a near fatal bout of pancreatitis and extended his projected remaining life span from three months to 10 when he was diagnosed with cancer last year. We will be bringing our dogs to this amazing place for their entire lives! Outstanding acupuncture, herbal medicine and chiropractic care.

Great place took care of my pit that was having neck issues. She has had spine injuries before and had to have suregery. They were able to get a neurologist to see my baby the next day and get her checked out. Instead of up selling surgery or other things I didn't need. They assured me with rest and pain management she would be ok and now she's back to her ok pittie self

Dr. Rettig is wonderful. She's caring, compassionate, and does treatments that other veterinarians don't offer. She also investigates a medical problem thoroughly, which is refreshing. She was absolutely great with our cancer-stricken dog. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

So glad I found Dr Rettig! My 11 yr old mastiff has had skin problems for over a year now. the therapy our vet at the time prescribed was not helping helping. Since seeing Dr Rettig Halias condition has improved! She gets Accupuncture once a month and Chinese herbs the staff here are all so caring and compassionate they are very thorough every time with the intake assessment. Dr Rettig could tell that Halia lost weight by looking at her. She lost 4 lbs if I could give more stars I would!!!

I moved to Central Valley a few years ago and have had to use a traditional vet. Luckily we've had no major issues although my Gideon has since gone to heaven from congestive heart failure. She had them on cardiac support all their lives so people have commented that he lived long for a cavalier. Almost 13 years. But now I have a new puppy and I convinced the breeder in Arkansas to do parvo distemper only. Dr. Dodd's vax schedule. Shockingly i couldn't find a vet there to do the second set. I even drove an hour to another holistic vet I found on the website and she wouldn't do it. I called about 20 vets in Central Valley, LA, and finally decided I needed to drive 3.5 hours to come back to Dr. Rettig. She is one of two I found in all of California that will follow the science on vaccines and so this. So we drove up last night and stayed in a hotel so we could drive to Lafayette this morning for the shots. Coincidentally my other dog Esther was just diagnosed with lymphoma so she will be seen after the puppy. Sad it had to come to this!! But I'm really happy to see Dr. Rettig and get the best care and opinions for making Esther comfortable until she joins Gideon to await my arrival at the pearly gates

We are in times of hostility. This pandemic event is impacting human kindness. It was gratifying having experience such wonderful patient care at Alternatives for Animals. I took Sammie there today. I drove one hour to get there, and it WAS SOOO WORTH IT. These ladies including the doctor were kind, sweet and compassionate to my baby Sammie and to me as well. They got us in on time. No waiting time. They were sweet to Sammie. They let me use their restroom, which was impecable providing all the sanitizers, paper towels and soaps that are needed considering the times we are living in. It was a pleasure working with this group of professional. They got a new patient! :)

So happy to have found this place! I have a weenie dog who's had back issues and skin issues for awhile. After his first appointment with acupuncture he was walking just fine! They also gave me some supplements for his skin issues and after today's check up the results were phenomenal. Everyone who works here is so sweet and kind. I will definitely be taking my other dog here as well.

So very happy with Dr. Rettig and Susan and Sabrina who make up the rest of this awesome team. They are very kind and caring and my dog loves going there. 2 years ago we received the devastating news our boy had a rare cancer combination and was given maybe 3 months to live. Fast forward 2 years later and he is still with us thanks to the care from Dr. Rettig and her team. Very highly recommend .

We took our dogs today to meet Dr. Rettig and staff. Everyone was wonderful, from the front desk to the technician to the doctor. They all made us feel welcome and you can tell that they genuinely care for all animals. We are going to try a holistic approach to one of our fur babies issues and will update on the progress. If you are looking for a holistic vet, definitely give this place a try. We are very thankful that we did.
