Balanced Horse Veterinary Service

Let me start this review by saying I take my animals well being probably more seriously than my own. I shop more for vets and groomers than human Dr. s and hair saloons. I tried out many different dog and horse vets and different groomers before I found those perfect, special ones. I almost get teary eyed thinking about how much Dr. Rathbone has always done for my animals and for me. I have watched as she almost risked her personal safety stitching up my horses leg for hours. Not just any horse, a huge 17.1 hand OTTB mare with a history of kicking (exactly how she got her leg caught in the fence in the first place), a horse who has to be sedated just to listen to her stomach; Dr Rathbone was amazing, gentle, patient and my horse healed perfectly. Then there was my one and only heart filly. Dr. Rathbone was on our journey through a founder and weight loss program over 6 months. When she got a bone joint infection and had to be put down, there is absolutely no one else I would have rather had with us. I mean that from the bottom of my heart, I don’t even think family or friends could have understood what I was going through, Dr. R was there for me and my Penny. She was kind, empathetic, and sad herself. For a Dr. who I am sure has seen her share of loss and tragic situations, she was the perfect mix of smart, business like veterinary specialist and animal lover and care giver all in one! Dr. R is the kind of vet that you feel truly blessed to have on your team.

I highly recommend Dr. Taryn for your 4 legged family members! My 13 year old Chocolate Lab is struggling with basic old age issues. After just a couple treatments with Dr. Taryn, she has found the bounce in her step again! Yeah! She walks with a little more ease and gets up out of her bed a little faster these days. SO nice to be able to do something for my old girl! Dr. Taryn is very professional and personable and I highly recommend her for treatments for your horse or dog. She does amazing work!
