My dog is 16 years old. Part of that is great genes part of it is great veterinary care. Dr. Saacks is a real neighborhood Vet with old school values. My dog has been going to Dr. Saacks since he started practice on Magazine st. I'm glad to say he was open not long after the hurricane so I could stay with a Dr. that knew my animal. He's taken care of my Aussie as a walk-in even when I was just stopping by to make an appointment. He has always been very accommodating and thorough. \r
After the hurricane my dog developed a pretty serious skin problem partly due to stress and fleas. Instead of giving her lots of really expensive medicine he recommended a diet change. He put her on an all organic food, Solid Gold HundenFlocken, that healed up her skin problem and with proper topical flea meds she has not had flea problems again. I've researched the food and also worked in healthfood stores for about 10 years. It's the best food for my dog on the market.
Pros: thorough service, great community oriented attitude, nice staff and clean clinic
Cons: It is hard to park in the neighborhood - gotta be quick and stealthy to get a spot
