Our two four legged kids, Sassy and Bentley have a new lease on life thanks to Dr. Carol. The change was noticeable within only 2 weeks of our initial visit. Our pups didn’t appear over weight to us, just a little “thick” but Dr. Carol clearly let us know that bringing them both to a healthier weight would do wonders for both of them. Our older guy, Bentley is 9 years old and was starting to have some dementia type symptoms. He was standing and just staring off into space and would go out and tinkle on the driveway rather than go to the grass, he just wasn’t our same vibrant and playful boy - he seemed distant and sad. Bentley weighed around 100 pounds at our initial visit and is now a healthy 87 pounds. Dr. Carol had us change his diet (I felt horrible as I thought the raw diet and grain free kibble we were feeding were quality, I was so wrong). Their coats should have been an indicator now that I think about it. They were always getting dander shortly after bathing them, which I did regularly. Now that we are feeding a true healthy diet and one that accommodates each dog: Sassy was having some stomach upset on raw so we feed her cooked chicken and Bentley remains on the raw Stella and Chewy’s along with added veggies and in addition to Dr. Carol’s Health and Wellness AM and PM Complex. They now have mental clarity, their coats are clean and dander free and they are SO soft! In fact our family couldn’t stop commenting on how silky Bentley felt when they were petting him this past Christmas Eve. I shared with them our story and they got to see what we are feeding them when it came to the dog’s dinner time – they were amazed! And this is the first time ever, that Sassy has a waist! She has lost around 8 pounds. Having a pet with a healthy weight, just like us, makes such a difference. Dr. Carol and Halle, her daughter and wonderful assistant, make you feel welcome and are always happy to answer your questions when you are at the office. Dr. Carol will also call to follow up and see how things are going at home and will answer any questions you have. I am very proactive in our dog’s health and wellness – kind of a passion of mine and Dr. Carol has never made me feel like I am overstepping my boundaries with my questions or concerns. In fact she actually works with me and has made me feel more a part of our pups “wellness team” which is such a blessing to me. I don’t want to leave out this very important part: Bentley started having some issues with increased water consumption and with that he became a frequent flyer to having to go out every other hour. This made for some very rough nights. But yet, he kept testing negative for a urinary tract infection and his blood work came back perfect too. Dr. Carol went above and beyond to look into all the possibilities of why this was happening and did in fact find the problem. She is a stone turner and we are so blessed to have her in our back yard! Thank you Dr. Carol for all you do for us and our pets – we know we are always in the best of hands. Mary Z.

What can i say Dr. Carol is fantastic, she was able to help my dog walk and jump again. Dr. Carol tell's you the best way to treat your dog, she won't lie or give you a false hope. Her advice is 100% on target and her pet is your concern not your checkbook. When I brought Smokey in she could barely jump in the car. Dr. Carol gave me several treatment options and we decieded to go for the holistic approach. After about 2-3 week Smokey can jump in the car and run up the stairs. The change is absolutly amazing and if i had not seen it myself i would not believe it. I was skeptical at first but Dr. Carol works wonders and takes time to explain everything before i leave, it's also nice to see a totally family run operation these days. Try her you will not regret it.

Dr. Carol gave me back my cat. Snickers is 14-1/2 years old, and had been declining for the past several years. His weight dropped from a healthy 7 lbs. 9 oz. to just a little over 4-1/2 lbs.during that time. We tried all the remedies suggested by our "regular" vet, with no success. I had resigned myself to the fact that Snickers probably would not live to see Christmas 2014. I saw an article in our local newspaper about Dr. Carol and decided to give her one last try. The reviews were glowing - almost too good to be true. My husband, the ultimate skeptic, and an engineer, only recognizes the "hard" sciences. After I made the appointment, he referred to her as a 'shrink" and the medicine she practices as "voodoo". I have to admit I was somewhat skeptical myself, but her practice caters to elderly pets, so I thought it was worth a try. Dr. Carol, and her kind and conscientious staff, took over an hour to thoroughly exam Snickers and pour over the vet records and test results I brought with me. Her treatment plan consisted of fluid therapy (Snickers was severely dehydrated) and diet - which I could easily buy at any grocery store (chicken, eggs and baby food). Although she sells specially formulated pet foods, and was generous with samples, she did not push me to buy these. She also recommended several of her own supplements, but again, did not twist my arm to buy them. Snickers is a very special cat, so I was happy to include the supplements in his treatment plan. She even showed me a trick to give medicine to a cat, which has been most helpful. After only three short weeks of his new diet, supplements and fluid therapy, Snickers weighs 6 lbs., his fur is soft as silk and he is acting like a kitten. He chases our other cats and plays with the cat toys. I can't remember the last time I saw him do that. He is eating very well and not vomiting (which used to be a daily occurrence). In short, he got his health, and his life, back. I can't praise Dr. Carol highly enough. She is also available by email to her clients at all times. If you have an elderly pet that is not responding to traditional western medicine (which she also practices), you owe it to yourself and your pet to make an appointment at the Chagrin Falls Vet Center. You won't be disappointed.

WOW! all I can say is WOW! Dr. Carol is the best veterinarian in Chagrin hands down. My cat had been sick for about a month, i went to two other vets and they told me it was just a cold. Well it was not a cold when i got to Dr. Carol. She was able to get Mitten's back to feeling like a million bucks. While money isn't something that should matter when it comes to your families health, I have to be careful with the holidays and all. Dr. Carol was less than half of what it cost to any other vet. I will be back and bring my family too! I dont know what i would have done it Dr. Carol hadn't saved Mittens. Thank You so much!

I have a 7 yo. dachshund who IS part of our family, just like your beloved pets. We try to provide the best health care for him and promptly attend to any problems he may encounter. He has had ongoing skin issues for about 5 years, itching, infections etc. I have had him to 4 vet clinics up to this summer without any solutions. One even told me that dachshunds just itch and get infections, and to just live with it! My neighbor told me about Dr. Carol Osborne and her Chagrin Falls Veterinary Center. I called and made an appointment for Rusty. She assessed him and asked many questions about his food, his meds etc and what type care he had received in the past. After testing it was discovered he had Cushings Disease, which is not uncommon for dogs in the 6 to 8 year range. She changed his heartworm meds from the brand most advertised in most vet offices and also the most expensive to a simple liquid I put on his skin once a month. I picked up some Paaws vitamins from her and began feeding him a food she sold in her clinic; however took her advice and cook chicken and vegetables for him. I cook once every 10 days to 2 weeks in the crock pot and freeze his food then parcel it out for him at mealtime. If I am in a hurry, then he gets the dry bag food. He loves the food and is eating 2 to 3 times what he was before and is Loosing weight, which was one of his issues. I give him his meds for the Cushings plus his vitamins and you can NOT believe the change in this dog. Recently I took him in for an ear infection, which he seldom ever gets. She treated him right away. The next day she called to check up on him. This is something she does a lot. This vet REALLY CARES about your pet. I will never take him anywhere else. Dr. Osborne has been a Godsend to us and as for Rusty, well, he is a brand new dog. His fur is smooth like rabbit fur, his yeast infections are gone, he's loosing weight and his skin is clearing up and he rarely itches himself anymore. I challenge you to find a better, more caring veterinarian anywhere. I seriously do not think you will find one. Thank you Dr. Carol !!!
