Testimonials

“Lisa was amazing with her skill set and knowledge of the treatment given to our Rottweilers surgically repaired right leg. The knowledge she shared with us while doing the red light treatment far surpasses our own vets recommendation with recovery. Highly recommend Lisa and her clinic for any animal needs.”
– Client

“My 8 year old maltese has been getting services with Lisa for about 3 months now. She has been amazing and has offered a couple of services for my dog. He was slowing down on walks, limping, having difficulty rising from sitting, 6 months post-TPLO surgery, and overall looked uncomfortable. Since starting light therapy, he is more brisk, lasts longer on his walks and appears more happy & confident! Lisa is wonderful, she is gentle and loves on both of my pups! I really love that she has great availability and offers home visits so my dog remains comfortable and not anxious. His improvement was almost immediate!”
– Client

“Our dog Milo suffered a ruptured disc resulting in hind leg paralysis and back surgery. He needed physical therapy which wasn’t easy to find accessible options close by. Lisa has been a Godsend to Milo and his speedy recovery, he is walking again thanks to convenient in-house sessions of laser light therapy and acupuncture.”
