Ruby

My elderly Beagle and I depend on NVHVS to keep her healthy and mobile. My elderly lady of a dog has degenerative disc disease and suffers from an old hip injury. According to her X-rays and MRIs, she should not be able to walk at all, much less the two miles a day she runs with glee. When traditional Western medicine had nothing more to offer my dog, and she was looking at an unhappy life of stiff, restricted movement, Dr. Schmidt was able to keep her frisky, energetic and mobile, with an amazing range of motion. Both regular acupuncture and Chinese herbs have played a large part in keeping her acting like a young dog. I can't imagine our lives without her!
