Pet Wellness Center PC

Our dog Bella is a 9 year old lab/shepherd mix. At the end of January 2023, she started behaving in a manner that suggested she was not feeling well and was in a lot of pain (walking slower, limping, panting more, breathing faster, tired, and whining), totally different from her usual rambunctious self! We tried to get her into our regular vet, but were unable to get her in immediately so we called Pet Wellness Center and they got her in that same day. She saw Dr. Kozak, (awesome veterinarian) who examined her, ran lab tests, and did xrays, so we could find out what was wrong with our precious girl (we got all labs and tests results back within an hour). Lab work only showed a very high elevation in one of her liver enzymes (she takes phenobarbital for seizures and it can cause this type of elevation). The xrays showed severe osteoarthritis in her back and her right leg/knee area. She was placed on medications to help this and Dr. Kozak recommended laser therapy treatments twice a week for three weeks, stating they have had a lot of success with them. She had her first treatment that same day and what a difference it made, when we got home she went outside with her sister and 2 brothers and was running around a little bit more, we were amazed! Since then we have continued the laser therapy treatments once per week, (after the initial six treatments), do red light therapy on her at home a few times a week, and her medications. Since first taking her to Pet Wellness Center in January until now (the end of March) the results have been night and day, she runs around outside with her brothers and sister, has more energy, and overall she’s happier!!! She acts like her younger self again! We are so grateful for Pet Wellness Center getting her in quickly and taking care of her and giving our Bella a new lease on life!!! The veterinarian and staff are all kind people, gentle with the our babies, and you can tell they all have a true love for the animals they take care of!!! We love you Pet Wellness Center and will continue to recommend you to anyone we know with fur babies!!!

This is a wonderful clinic! I was to the point if they couldn’t help my dog I was seriously considering putting my dog down. He was hurting so bad I felt so bad. They seen him told me what to do and gave him the medication he needed and within 2 days he was better and up walking around where he couldn’t before. I recommend this clinic to everyone if the are having trouble with their pet or even if they are not having trouble. They have a lot of preventative procedures that you need to check out!

We were very pleased with our visit to pet wellness. We enjoy the expertise of Dr. Smith he has always taken good care of our dog Gracie. We had to board both our dogs Gracie and our new pup Annabelle. We had Gracie boarded at a different place before and she came home scared and acted strangely for a few days. I really didn’t want to board her again but trusted Dr. Smith and his crew. My dogs came back happy and healthy with no signs of stress. This was such a relief. Thank you Pet Wellness for such great care of our pups!

My regular vet is on vacation and my FIV cat needed 2 shots her regular vet always gives her to calm her digestive issues. This was explained to Pet Wellness when I called them and they made her appt. Once I drove 40 miles to get there and showed documentation what her regular vet does for her, the Pet Wellness vet never came into the room and left it up to the vet tech to tell me they would not give her the injections that have always worked for her. Instead they wanted to do blood work and a bunch of tests. Guess to get more $$'s from me that I couldn't afford. We left without her getting the shots she needed.

On vacation and had to take my dog in. They got her records so I didn't have to. Dr Smith explained everything, and even checked her for another problem that is chronic to her. I will be back in 6 wks for him to do surgery to correct that issue. My vet at home wouldn't even discuss surgery for it. Wish I lived closer so Pet Wellness could be my regular vet.
