The Canine Health Makeover
NOTE: this is not an internal medicine consult and we will need your whole health team to work together. I will refer you for help to my favorite and smartest doctor friends.
Ace is a six year old male dutch shepherd. We have had Ace since he was one year old. Ace was initially training to become a K-9. He was a very active dog and loved to work. We were in the military and when we finally moved back to Colorado, Ace was being evaluated by another veterinarian. We were asked about Ace's physical activity in which we responded that he was not very active but thought it was due to the altitude. The vet looked at how Ace was sitting and that lack of physical activity was concerning for pain and referred us to Dr. Bartling.
At the first visit Dr. Bartling took the time to get to know us and Ace. After examining Ace, to our surprise she identified that Ace had point tenderness. Dr. Bartling explained what she was looking for and Ace's reaction that conveyed he was in pain. Everything Dr. Bartling explained was clear and concise. She took the time to indicate the cause(s) and effect(s) of pain in Ace. The most important thing is how she addressed the treatment plan. Dr. Bartling presented options that were evidence based, made sure we understood the benefits and side effects, and made sure that we were comfortable and could follow through with the treatment plan. We never felt pressured or that we were being taken advantage of.
We have been seeing Bartling for Ace's pain since June of 2021. We are seeing our dog come back to life. He is active and displaying his amazing physical activity. We strongly believe and think pets are part of the family and develop special relationships with their human(s). Dogs can have medical problems just like humans including pain from accidents or injuries.
Have your pet evaluated by the best so your pet can be at their the best!

Get scheduled.
Learn about fitness and pain-free posture in dogs.
Big girls don't cry, and your dogs won't either.
They don't stop running and playing - but they might do it slower and take more breaks.
And, when they are done, they will sit in a way that relieves them from discomfort. Take a look at the posture gallery.
