Recomendado 100% este lugar. La dra Ariele y Nicole son increíbles. Ayudaron a nuestra mini schnauzer con su problema de espalda y nos dieron todas las recomendaciones y próximos pasos a seguir. Agradecidos con ellas y con todo el staff. Desde que entras al lugar sientes el cariño, conocimiento y la empatia de todas.

I am incredibly thankful for the expertise provided by Dr. Arielle and staff. My English Bulldog suffered a partial ligament tear and other tissue damage in his back leg, leaving him limping and fighting arthritis. Dr. Arielle was not only clear and communicative throughout our consultation prior to committing to a treatment plan, but was incredibly kind, patient, and competent throughout my dog's treatment plan that followed. My dog has made tremendous progress, and is doing so much better with the help of Dr. Arielle and her staff providing laser treatment, physical therapy, and medications. Thank you for helping my pup, and I recommend this practice to anyone seeking rehabilitative care for their dog.

Dr. Arielle and Nicole are absolutely AMAZING! They saved my fur-baby! I normally don’t write reviews but I just have to let pet lovers know about the power of physical therapy for your pet.

Button is 15 yrs old. A few months ago he was diagnosed with severe spinal arthritis and could hardly walk or stand and my Vet told me that he could become paralyzed at any moment. My poor baby was in so much pain that I was afraid that I’d have to put him down. Thankfully I found Healing Tails and decided to try physical therapy. From the very first session with Nicole, I immediately saw a big difference in Button’s pain and mobility. She also provided a personalized home exercise routine to do in between visits that were extremely helpful. Now, 6 months later Button’s pain is minimal, he’s playful, loves going to the park, and he has a pep in his step again. His old personality is back, all thanks to Dr. Arielle and Nicole!

Dr. Arielle and Nicole are incredibly knowledgeable about holistic methods and I love their non-invasive and gentle approach to pet health. Dr. Arielle and her entire team are definitely the real deal!!!

Amazing experience with the team at Healing Tails! My dog came for recovery after TPLO surgery. Was always so excited and couldn’t wait to get inside to get his exercises in.
Amazing staff , responsive and accommodating.

Love this clinic! Even before my frenchie began her 6-week sessions the staff were very helpful, informative and friendly. Once the PT began I noticed right away how helpful and calming the vet/techs were with my pup to help put her at ease and within a couple sessions she warmed right up and was even excited to put the work in! My dog showed improvements in strengthening her hips/glutes within a couple weeks and by the end of the 6 weeks there was a vast difference in her posture/stance. I would highly recommend this clinic to anyone needing to give their fur babes some extra strengthening/conditioning and pain control!

My senior dog has never been sick since being rescued 10 years ago. In late February he suddenly went lame. We have no idea how or why. My dog was unable to stand and had stopped eating.

Our vet referred us to Healing Tails and within 3 weeks I have my buddy back… almost 100%. He received acupuncture, Adequan and herbs. I am so thankful to Dr. Arielle, Alix and the entire team at Healing Tails. Their gentle care, support and concern has made a world of difference. Our dog means everything to us and to see him suffer was unbearable. Now he is back to being food motivated, ravenous and running about - truly amazing! Thank you!!!

I can’t say enough great things about Healing Tails.

TLDR: Healing Tails is amazing, the staff is great to work with and very knowledgeable and my dog made HUGE improvements. They ended up saving me sooo much money by helping my pup get better without having to go to the neurologist like my vet initially recommended.

I found Healing Tails after my pup had multiple ER visits due to excruciating back pain. He was in so much pain that he couldn’t walk or go to the bathroom and all he could do was lay in one spot yelping in pain with any slight movement. He was put on multiple medications and I was told by my vet that he would need to go to the neurologist. I called every neurologist recommended, but each quoted me multiple thousands of dollars for scans alone, not even including treatment. I ended up deciding to try out acupuncture and physical therapy through Healing Tails instead and with each visit I saw visible improvement. Now a couple months later my dog is off all of his medications and has more energy than I’ve ever seen him have before. I HIGHLY recommend checking out healing tails!

Dr. Ariel and her team are amazing! At only 5, and having had 2 TPLOs, Bailey was already developing arthritis and having mobility issues. We've been going to PT with Dr. Ariel and Nicole for a month, and Bailey has gained stamina on her walks and is moving significantly better. Each session Bailey does a variety of exercises and gets laser therapy. The multi-modal approach is great. I'm so thankful that we found Healing Tails!
