"“I couldn’t thank Harriet enough, the support she has given me over the last year has been amazing following my dogs operations on both legs. My dog is a rescue and it is very difficult when meeting new people, however via video call Harriet talked me through what I needed to do as part of Mildred’s recovery programme. I couldn’t have done it without her and to know you have that support means so much.” MD Mildred Pet Parent.
"I was introduced to Harriet by a mutual friend and now I like Harriet more than the person who introduced us!! I'm just joking! The reality is that Harriet is full of life, positivity and fun and she makes you feel that you have known her for ever. At the same time she makes your dog feel as though they are the only dog in the world. She cares deeply about your dog's condition and uses her considerable knowledge and expertise to get to the bottom of the issue and suggest some great ongoing exercises, makes you think about ways in which you can do more for your own dog and provides expert analysis around the causes of the issue at hand.
We first met Harriet via FaceTime as the pandemic did not allow for face-to-face meeting, aside from being a few hours away. Those first few sessions were invaluable and the detailed analysis documents that followed meant that everything that was discussed was written down for further consumption. My Great Dane, Elsa who was just turning 9 was suffering terribly with arthritis in her hips. I had been using all known arthritis medicines and exercises, Elsa was in a bad way. Harriet had in our meetings discussed alternative procedures and introduced me to Stem Cell Vet. That suggestion by Harriet was the turning point for Elsa. I explored the Stem Cell treatment, spoke to Stewart and went ahead. Without that treatment Elsa would not be here.
Harriet has without doubt, saved her life and given her more time with her family. Truly a miracle and now Elsa is pain free in her hips. A BIG THANK YOU to you Harriet. xxx" PS, Elsa Pet Parent.
