The Best Care (and Loads of Love)

February 26, 2020 • by Billie Pierce

The Best Care (and Loads of Love) 1
Sunvet clients, Maria & Tom Vadeboncouer with their young English Labrador Retriever, Oscar.

We are always deeply touched to hear stories about how we have helped our clients and patients. Here is one story from long-time Sunvet client, Maria Vadeboncouer about the journey that brought her to Sunvet Animal Wellness Clinic and a few of her furry friends we have helped through the years.

Dr. Laurel and the entire staff at Sunvet are too wonderful for words; but I’ll try my best. I discovered Sunvet almost four years ago in search for a more holistic approach for my 17 year old Burmese cat, Rascal. An extremely people-friendly cat, he had suddenly become very stressed at our regular vet’s office. They alarmed me about his declining kidneys (completely normal at his age) but didn’t offer much to help except for a renal cat food which he refused to eat.

I found Dr. Laurel online and took Rascal to her. What a difference! Rascal was his normal friendly, talkative self in her presence. She most definitely connected with him and was so very loving to him. She recommended a proper diet and holistic supplements, and Rascal was happily with me for more than three more years, passing at the ripe old age of 20! What a blessing.

I currently take my other cat, a 14 year old tabby, and our 9 year old Labrador to Dr. Laurel. And with her help and advice, our somewhat pudgy lab, Arlo is losing weight and thriving. And he loves visiting there.

Sunvet is the most caring veterinary practice I have ever been to. Dr. Laurel Davis truly connects to the higher consciousness of the animals. You’ll believe it when you see the way your pet behaves in her presence. I’m totally convinced a traditional PLUS holistic approach is the way to go for yoru beloved pets. I recommend Dr. Laurel Davis and Sunvet to everyone who wants the absolute best total care (and loads of love) for their wonderful dogs and cats.

The sweet fur-babies Maria mentions in this review have traveled back to spirit since she wrote it, but we are so grateful to continue to help her and her husband Tom care for their 3 gorgeous cats, Esme, Frodo, and Maisy, and their silly love-pup, Oscar (you can see more of his sweet face in some of our website photos).

Thanks for being part of our Sunvet Family, Maria and Tom!
