At Home Vet Care

When I first found out that I was pregnant, I was so excited for my dog to meet his new best friend! I had visions of newborn cuddles on the couch and shared food falling from the high chair. We let him hang out in the nursery, set up baby gates ahead of time, and played soundtracks of baby cries and coos. My dog was always so curious and licking my growing belly - which had to be a good sign. Right? So you can imagine my horror when I brought my tiny new baby home from the NICU and my dog was not only barking and growling, but lunging at the baby through the baby gate. If his response to the baby wasn't scary enough, his response to me was downright heartbreaking. My best friend of eight years acted as though he had no idea who I was. My first night home was spent tearfully calling my veterinarian and praying that there was a way that I could keep everyone safe together. My veterinarians first words of advice were to call Dr. Cutler right away. Through (likely audible) sobs I explained my situation and never received a hint of judgement. Tricia and Candy were so sweet and gave me tips to keep everyone safe until we could get in to see Dr. Cutler. I was also given information for a trainer who specialized in baby-dog issues. With everyone's help, we were able to determine that anxiety was the trigger and not a prey drive. We were able to pinpoint my dog's anxiety sources and find interventions to make him more comfortable. My family is now complete, and most importantly - safe and happy! My baby is now five months old and my dog is comfortable hanging out with us in and outside of the home. We go for "pack walks" together and my dog comes to "get mom" when the baby starts to fuss from her naps. I truly thought that I would have to rehome or forever separate my dog. But thanks to the help of The Behavior Clinic, we are able to stay together and do so safely. I am forever indebted to them and grateful!

They were punctual and very accommodating. They treated my cat Batman as if it was their own pet. They were affectionate and loving with him while still being professional. They made sure to communicate about what they were doing and seeing while making great recommendations. I highly recommend and will only let them care for Batman.

Dr.Cutler has been terrific- first as a traditional vet for us (2015) and most recently as a behaviorist for our Akita. Kind, straight forward, compassionate and authentic.
