A little pup we have that was found wandering the desert has had trouble with his hind legs. A visit to another vet resulted in a dismissive "He's got floating kneecaps. Keep him thin." While he was not incorrect and keeping weight down is probably easier on joints, there was no sense of anything to really make our pup's life better.

A bit of looking turned up Zen Den. We had no referral and no basis of comparison.

We had our consult yesterday. I was expecting to sit and talk for a few minutes while Christy (she seems to run the show there) poked and prodded a bit, fully expecting to just hear what we already knew.

Instead, she tuned in to the fact that our little pup is in pain and compensating pretty severely. She performed a couple of kinds of therapy (manual as well as laser). She also brought in Dr Sandhu from a neighboring animal hospital (he's saved another of our dog's lives from a terrible brain infection!) to confirm her suspicions and recommended course of treatment (likely followed up with surgery).

Later that day, our little pup demonstrated better posture and walking than any time since we've had him. Further treatments are scheduled. I think we're expecting surgery in a month (subject to pup's progress).

I'll try to update this as our treatment progresses. So far, I can wholeheartedly recommend that you take your achey pets to Zen Den.

Physical therapy has been so great for my 6 year old lab mix. Her hip dysplasia is almost unnoticeable. No more limping, can hardly tell she ever had problems getting up from a lying position. Christy has been wonderful with my girl. Would definitely recommend this place to others.

Christy is amazing. She took great care of my boy Judge. She got him feeling chipper and helped him get his stride back. He had some major back issues but he absolutely loved going to see Christy for therapy. My boy got laser therapy, and underwater treadmill sessions. It really is an amazing facility.

I highly recommend Zen Den for those that love their pets and will do whatever it takes for a successful recovery of our fur babies. Christy and Lindsey are amazing with the care they give your pets. I've been coming here to see that my little dog makes the most of his recovery and will continue to do see that he vists on a monthly basis for maintenance. Love this place and all that it offers!

This place and Christie are absolutely amazing! I'm pretty sure Christie is secretly a wizard with magic healing powers! Our little guy has some pretty serious issues that will require surgery. His first visit was awesome. Usually a consult is just that. Someone tells you you're broken and how they can fix you. Not this place! Out little man got a laser treatment and massage to relieve his pain at the consult!! Since his "pre-hab" began he has shown improvement; he is getting stronger and is in less pain. Thank you Christie for caring so deeply for the critters you help.

Staff was great with treating my cat. They took their time to treat her and to explain to us what they would be doing. I will be bringing all of my pets here in the future!

I love this place! Sadie and I have been going there for several years and she is always treated really well. If she has a procedure done they called to check on her after words and are always very concerned about her which is so sweet and caring.

Amazing staff and wonderfully clean facilities. Every one who works here is friendly and understanding of your pets needs and yours as well. I have visited them for both regular and emergency visits and they have always been incredible. The waiting room and pet exam rooms are very clean and don’t have any odor of cleaners.

We went in on a Sunday and overall it was a great experience. The doctor was caring and thorough. I felt like they were honest and not just trying to take money from us like you find at some vet offices. The only issue was that there was a long wait, but I completely understood since it was Sunday and they had a lot of emergencies. We will definitely be back and will make them our regular vet clinic.

Our German Shepherd Mix had major ligament surgery at age 10.
He is my husbands Seizure Dog and our best friend! The care he
received was amazing! Since then, he has healed.
The staff was so caring and kind. We were always welcome to visit him
during his hospital stay. We can't say enough kind things.
As we see him run and play...we say. THANK YOU!
