I take my 11 year old shih tzu, Brutus to Dr. wood for acupuncture. He is very patient and gentle with him ( and me). We moved to PSL in july 2012 and went to 2 other places before finding Dr. Wood. We didn't like their approach to treatment, so we kept looking. Brutus has a number of things wrong with his health, but you wouldn't know it interacting with him. Dr. wood has been very helpful with recommending a holistic approach, acupuncture and herbs. He does get heartmedication, but our goal is to prolong his active life as naturally as possible. I am not a fan of steroids, rimadyl, even metacam if it is given every day. i believe that they actually shorten your pets life and the potential side effects can have dire impact on your pets quality of life. Dr. Wood takes the time to give his best advice and I can appreciate that. I would drive hours for the right vet, but luckily I don't have to:)
