Paws For Holistic Pet Care

Dr. Verna (Dr. Becky) earned our respect when she helped our elderly black Lab, Annie. Annie was a nervous wreck at vet visits until we started with Paws. It was clear that Annie was the center of attention at each visit. Unfortunately, our beloved dog passed over the rainbow bridge, but we are so appreciative that Dr. Becky loved her as we did, and that she was able to make her last couple of months better than we thought possible. If we ever get another dog, Dr. Becky will be our only choice for care.

Dr. Verna was very personable, understanding, and patient with my doggie! She made sure my baby was comfortable and well taken care of. She was having problems of when I touched her on her side she would yelp with pain. After her treatment she is all better and no longer having issues! Highly recommend!

When it was time to help our 14yo pup cross the bridge, we called Dr Becky based on several recommendations. She made the entire, heartbreaking experience as easy and peaceful as possible for our family by coming to the home to perform the euthanization. Her presence was calming, loving, and respectful of the difficulty we were going through. What a blessing to have her here with us for the most difficult part of this transition. Thank you ❤️ 🐕 🌈

We are having a few medical issues with Hanno, our 5 y.o. German Shepherd. He had his first seizure about two months ago, then another one a month ago. At that point we opted to stop all pharmaceuticals (Apoquel, ProHeart 12) especially after learning they can cause seizures. Going forward we will get titers testing done before doing any further vaccinations.We looked around Boise for a holistic vet practiced in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM) so we could holistically heal Hanno and thought we’d found one. The results were less than impressive and we are still waiting to hear back from them a week later!I remembered that Rebecca L G Verna is a Holistic Vet and I contacted her. This morning, she spent an hour and fifteen minutes on the facetime call with my wife and me. She asked a TON of questions and even looked at Hanno over the video. Her knowledge is impressive and I felt like she was really invested in his well-being. She gave Hanno more attention on the facetime call than the local “TCVM” vet did in person. Not an exaggeration at all.Going forward, our go to vet is Dr. Becky Verna at Paws for Holistic Pet Care and we will use the local vet to run the labs and do the ‘hands on’ things we cannot do over the phone. You want a vet who will lean forward into the care of your doggie, I highly recommend Rebecca L G Verna. Thank you Becky!

Dr. Verna not only loves and professionally cares for our two beloved Bosties (Boston Terriers), Zion and Zoey, she calls us from time to time just to make sure they are doing fine! We know of no other doc who would do that! She truly cares about our furry family members, and we all love her, too. ~ The Schaefer Family ~

She's amazing!! my dog was able to reach his 12th birthday because of Dr. Becky!! He's a little shih tzu who got paralysis in his hind legs..couldn't use the bathroom on his own and was days from being put down but she helped save my dog. We are seeing her 4-6 weeks to maintain and monitoring him daily. My little guy, Batman! He says hi to you all. Even accommodating when it came to double masking when I asked--living with a baby so she made me also feel comfortable.

Becky has saved our dog from surgery with her depth of knowledge, compassion, and home visits! She is good with both fur-babies and humans alike. Five million gold stars and a big huge "Thank you!" from Lucy! Woof!

I first met Dr. Verna years ago when my Lhasa Apso was suffering severe allergies and infections. While the little patient didn't want to comply with treatment, I never forgot the love and care she poured into him. Even though I decided to go a more traditional route for his allergies, the amount of knowledge I gained from her has no price. When he injured his knee a month ago and our vet suggested surgery, the first call I made was to Dr. Verna! Thanks to her healing hands, we avoided surgery and stopped the pain medications after the first visit. Today he is back to his normal self running, jumping, and playing. She is very patient and so much fun to be with during the appointments! Holistic treatments are not cheap, but the fact that we avoided anesthesia and more meds makes it totally worth it!

I love this woman!!! If you have a vet telling you to to put your pet down don't fall for it! she is In it to win it!!!! Your pet is the most important thing to her. I have the most respect for her. She will give it to you straight. Trust her...she knows her stuff! What a god sent! My baby Tippy(presa canario) went to her after my vet said he needs to be put down!(Cushing's disease)I was so devastated, I kept thinking he knows his name, he can walk he still shows affection? Why would I put him down... i love him! I found Beckie... I love this woman...the best!!!! Just to update. Our precious tippy left us in may. But we knew that he was ready to go. We knew that we had to let him go. But if not for Dr Beckie we would not have had that last year with Tippy. And what a joyous year I had with him. Dr Beckie gave me an all protein diet that I followed to a T. And Tippy loved it and I loved preparing it for him. If not for this woman i would have lost my baby a year ago. But because of this woman Tippy lived until "HE"was ready to go. I will forever miss him. But I am so grateful for having him and Beckie in my life! Dr Beckie keep doing what u are doing we need you and more like you!

Came home to find my dog laying on her side and unable to get up. Called my local vet and got right in. They took X-rays and said that there was nothing obviously wrong/broken so she probably strained her back and needed rest and drugs.After two days with a little improvement I inquired about holistic therapy. Chiropractic or acupuncture? My vet's response was "YES, wonderful", but we don't have that here.So I went looking & asking. A friend recommended Dr. Verna @ Paws for Holistic Pet Care. I contacted her via Facebook. (she is very technology savy)Dr R Verna makes house calls but my dog loves to travel so I loaded her in the car and drove down. This is lovely office w/ a relaxed atmosphere. Very small shop and only has one animal in the building at a time to keep the stress levels down. If you are early, she asks that you wait in the comfort of your car so her current patient does not get distracted by the scent or sound of another person & animal.If you are looking for alternative methods to replace or augment your current veterinary care, please give Dr. Verna a call. :)-PS - you will probably have to leave a VM - it's a small office.
