I cannot give a higher recommendation than I would of Dr Susan Maier. I had a very beloved Brittany Spaniel that was at deaths door when I first took her to Dr Maier. She used holistic approaches that worked wonders with our Allie. She looked beyond her present condition of having seizures and looked at the overall health and love of life Allie still showed. My husband and I know that she made it possible for us to have our beloved four legged family member for seven more months that we would not have had otherwise. Allie was treated as a friend and loved one....Never as a sick old dog. If you are looking for a vet for your family pets...You have picked the right one.

Ten years ago I was the ideal per owner. I vaccinated for "everything", fed a "scientific" dry food
that was recommended by my allopathic vet and sprayed my house and dogs for fleas. My beloved Welsh Terrier, Max was the victim of my beliefs. He had spent his life with terrible allergies (which the vet routinely gave him prednisone shots for), had incredible digestive problems ( he got nothing but the special diet the vet sold) and suffered from epilepsy. He was nine years old when we went for his annual round of shots...and he was dead within a few days. He went into complete organ failure and died despite all out emergency care.
Finding Dr Maier at Horizon Veterinary services was like winning the lottery! To have a vet who didn't push yearly vaccinations, who offered flower essences and acupuncture and natural kibble was so wonderful. I now have 5 dogs...all healthy and happy. Phantom, the 16 year old comes in for a "tune up" monthly. When Phantom had to visit the allopathic vet to have several teeth removed Dr Maier sent us home with flower essences and homeopathic remedies to help with anesthesia recovery and healing process. Holistic medicine doesn't have to be an all or nothing proposition. I know in my heart this is the lesson my Max was here to teach me. I think holistic medicine should be spelled "wholistic", because it involves treating the entire being.

Susan Maier, D.V.M. is a calm, intuitive, understanding and confident force in the lives of animals and their people. When my black labradorable, Budgie, was diagnosed with cancer and it became apparent that "nothing could be done" by other vets to help her, Dr Maier turned our worst nightmare into a positive and hopeful experience. Budgie so loved going to see Dr Susan and technician Kim that when it came her time to leave this earth she insisted on allowing them to help her. Her trust in Dr Maier was infinite as is mine. From beginning to end, which was 2 years longer than originally estimated, Budgie was treated with tremendous love and respect while I was guided through her illness with constant support. Budgies' tail was wagging right up until she took her last breath, which tells a greater story about these wonderful people than words could ever say.

I highly recommend Dr. Maier. Based on the way she handled both my dog and my cat, I can see that she sincerely loves animals. Over the past few years, both I and my husband have visited a number of vets in the area. Many of these vets were impersonal and emotionless - treating our pets more like lab animals than well cared for patients. Dr. Maier, however, looks at each animal as a unique individual deserving of no less care than a person would receive. In addition to her depth of compassion and dedication to her profession, Dr. Maier is also very resourceful. Every time we visit her clinic for check-ups, she is able to provide new and useful information in response to our questions. Her advice and attention has reinforced my confidence in holistic medicine as a favorable alternative to conventional veterinary care. I want everyone to know that there ARE safer ways to treat animals! Dr. Maier offers excellent (and affordable!) options for people wishing the best, most sensitive treatment for their beloved animals.

Milo is our 16 year old, much loved cat.  When Milo was ill several years ago, our hearts were broken.  He seemed perfectly normal except for the fact that he couldn't use his back legs.  Dr Maier was out of town when my husband took him to another vet that ran blood work.  He diagnosed FIP and suggested we put Milo to sleep.  When you looked into Milo's eyes, you realized euthanasia was not an option.
 
With Dr Maier's expertise and guidance Milo made a full recovery and has enjoyed good health to this day.  Each family member had a job to do for Milo. One bathed him, another fed him, another exercised his legs, and still another helped him outside to use the rest room.  Dr Maier used homeopathy and acupuncture along with antibiotics.  I had not heard of homeopathy and was vaguely familiar with acupuncture, although I didn't realize you could treat animals.  I am convinced that if it weren't for the homeopathy, acupuncture and the total commitment of love that Milo wouldn't be here today.
