ZenPets Integrative Veterinary Care

I cannot say enough about how thankful I am to have found an integrative vet and this office. Even if you are not looking for an integrative office, I highly recommend Dr. Gardner. The prices are very comparable to other veterinarian offices. The environment was so much more peaceful and welcoming than the cold metal tables you typically experience. I am a very new dog owner, and Dr. Gardner took the time to explain everything to me, taught me how to play with my puppy, train her, feed her, and even included my children during the visit. I am so pleased and feel safe with my baby here!

I’ve known and worked with Dr. Cara Gardner for years, and I can confidently say she is an exceptional veterinarian. What I appreciate most is her approach to combining both traditional Western medicine and holistic Eastern therapies, including chiropractic care and acupuncture. She takes the time to look at the whole patient and offers treatment options that are tailored to each pet’s specific needs. Her compassion, knowledge, and dedication to animal health are evident in every interaction. It’s refreshing to find a veterinarian who embraces both conventional and alternative treatment methods to provide the best possible care. I would highly recommend Dr. Cara Gardner and her team.

This is by far the best veterinary practice in town and Dr. Gardner and all her staff are warm and attentive. I have brought both of my beagles here for conventional and wholistic care. The treatment rooms are fully padded, cozy, comfortable, low stress. My dogs feel at ease and they love being off leash to explore within the room. I love that they use licking pads and treats rather than coercion to get my dogs to cooperate with treatment. Dr. Gardner explains diagnoses and discusses treatment options in detail, answering all of my questions without making me feel rushed or like a prescription is just being thrown at me with no explanation. I finally feel like I have someone on my team when going for vet care. Cannot recommend enough.

Zen Pets was amazing. We weren’t able to get into our vet we have used for years and our dog was not doing well. They fit us in same day and we ultimately had to put our dog to sleep. They were so accommodating, supportive and the environment was calm and peaceful during a really difficult time. We are switching our other dog over to them. They really care about what they do and put a lot of heart in to it. We were so thankful for them in such a hard time!

Absolutely awful awful place! Nobody seems to know what's going on, they made several false statements in regards to reaching out and scheduling accordingly for my pet who is "supposedly" be being treated for heartworms. I call, and nobody can tell me anything about his treatment. They continue to get the medication wrong. Ask me if I want to put him on medication that he's already on.They want to take your money , but not have a full plan for the animal in question. I took a 6 year old dog that's never had one problem whatsoever anywhere, but told that he was aggressive. Because 6 individuals tried to hold him down, poking him with several needles and said that he needs to be sedated. I think I would need to be sedated as well if someone come at me like that. Then I have an issue with scheduling and appointments and medication and trying to get health care set up for my dog , i call again for someone in charge to call me back and I can't even speak because she's too worried about her staff Being agitated that I wanted to talk to someone in charge... absolutely flipping ridiculous.

They listen and they don’t judge. I’ve lived in the area for a little over a year and pass Zen Pets on my way to work. I was definitely curious about their services. One of my dachshunds started having back pain, so I contacted them through their website. Lucy responded quickly and got us scheduled for the beginning of October. Fortunately, we were able to get in sooner due to a cancellation. I was blown away by the kindness we received. Their office is nothing like the other veterinary clinics I’ve been to. It was inviting and comfortable. We arrived earlier than our scheduled appointment time and were invited to come in. My pup walked around freely and checked everything, then we settled in a private room furnished with a floor cushion and chairs. The textured floor mats were especially appreciated since smooth surfaces can be harder to grip. Eliza and Dr. Gardner were great. I’ve never seen such compassion. They actually got on the floor at Trevor’s level. He received acupuncture, e stim, and laser therapy. We got started on medication that I started when we got home. By bedtime, he was like a whole new dog. We returned today for a follow up. My pup doesn’t usually just stroll into a vet clinic, but today he had pep in his step and was calmly resting while waiting our turn; even with a dog in an adjoining room. I highly recommend getting your pets (and yourself) some Zen!

Dr. G and her staff are amazing! She basically saved my dogs life when he had a UTI and we were being told by another vet that he was having seizures. She did the minimum amount of work but caught the biggest issue! We are so grateful for Dr. G at Zen Pets!!!
