Holistic Vet Care

Highly recommend! Feel like we have a completely different dog. He is no longer chewing our house to pieces from nerves and is building a lovely relationship with our son. Never thought I would see the day that would happen. He is so much more relaxed and happier in himself and I can't say thank you enough!

My cat has a lot of problems from renal and heart problems to back and overgrooming and wasn't eating. After 1 treatment and 14 needles, which my cat was very good and just laid there, nice and calm because of rinnerts brilliant way with her, she has responded exceptionally well just after one treatment. i am going to continue with the treatments, which i am able to claim back on her insurance, because I have had such a good experience. This is the best my cat has been for quite some time and I would highly recommend letting Rinnert treat your cat or dog.

After fostering a paraplegic dog for nearly 3 years, and not seeing any improvement with her bowel and bladder control, her legs becoming more contracted and a suspicion that her back was giving her pain at the point of the original injury, my local vet suggested accupuncture. I was very reluctant, as money is tight, but filed it in the back of my mind, and carried on with gentle massage and manipulation of her back and legs. Then 3 months ago, an advert popped up on my social media page for a travelling holistic vet, who offered accupuncture. With the first appointment being free, l felt it was worth a try. I sent a message, and had an almost instant reply, and after asking me a few basic details, we set a date for the first appointment. Now l have to point out here that my little dog is wary of many people, understandably, after being abused as a puppy, so l warned the vet when he arrived that she can be a bit snappy, and certainly very vocal. Hah! She immediately made a liar of me, didn't she? She immediately took a great liking to him, throwing me a look as if to ask me where this man had been all her life! I am a great believer in holistic therapy in animals, as l have seen huge benefits in many of my fostered animals as well as my own pets, in years gone by, but l was sceptical about seeing any improvements after the first session. How wrong l was. That evening, my little dog was less grumbly during her massage and nappy changes (she is doubly incontinent) and her legs were a little less contracted. Still sceptical as to just how much improvement we would ultimately see, we arranged for another visit, with me having a tutorial of how best to give suitable physiotherapy in the interim. As the week went by, l could see she was not as happy, with her back being tense around the injury site again. I hoped this was a temporary thing and that further treatment would be longer lasting. Now we are entering month 3, and l am amazed. After weekly treatments ( one on radio leicester.. oh my what a diva!), l am seeing more movement in her tail, her legs are far more relaxed and easy to move, her bowel and bladder are more controlled, but best of all, her discomfort is markedly less in the area around the original spinal injury. So in short, l now feel although money is tight, somehow, l will keep her treatment going, whatever it takes. I am so pleased with the treatment, my dog and l both get on very well with her new friend the vet, and l would heartily recommend Rinnert Van Den Burgh to anyone looking to help their poorly animal be it a tiny bird or hamster, right up to your much loved horse or pony. As a side, one visit, Rinnert was held up getting here, as he had found a badly injured bird by the roadside. He scooped it up, performed accupuncture and stitched it's head wound, and a few days later, released the bird, all healthy and healed again.

We recommend that if you haven't yet considered how a vet specialising in holistic treatments can restore your pet's health and wellbeing then it is absolutely worth looking into. Our experience with Dr Rinnert has been overwhelmingly positive, as we have seen our senior labrador transform from being anxious and withdrawn to outgoing and engaged showing significant improvement in his mobility and general health. Consultations are calm and relaxed as Rinnert has a gentle and compassionate manner enabling our dog to fully relax during and after the treatment. A real positive for us, is the ample time available to establish a comprehensive view of our dog's needs which gives us great confidence in the treatment. Rinnert's knowledge and expertise in integrating both Western and Chinese approaches is invaluable and has impressed us. We can wholeheartedly recommend Dr Rinnert's practice.
