Learn More about Gentle Vet
  • We are very grateful to Dr. Dodd for her assistance in helping us and our dog, Amber. Amber had a severe case of separation-anxiety. Dr. Dodd gave us lots of information and a comprehensive treatment plan. The plan not only worked for Amber but also with me. Throughout the process, Dr. Dodd was supportive and answered all of our questions immediately. Today, Amber is a wonderful, loving pet who provides much joy and companionship. Thank you Dr. Dodd - we couldn't have done it without you.
