Beyond Expectations: Our Philosophy of Impact
For us, success is measured not just by treating symptoms, but by genuinely improving a pet's quality of life and strengthening the human-animal bond. It's about achieving milestones that truly matter – a dog pain-free enough to play again, a senior cat regaining dignity, or a paralyzed pet finding new ways to move with confidence. These stories reflect perseverance, personalized care, and often, what seems like pure magic.

Lesli Evans ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
For the short version, if you have a dog in pain, take them to Dr. Heather. The results for us were amazing, and it saved our girl from a hefty surgery. Our vet assumes she suffers from a bulging disk...With all she's been through, with years of recovery time stealing away her favorite walks and adventures, we opted for physical therapy. Dr. Heather instantly saw her odd gait...and never pushed her. It resulted in Nali's trust growing with each session, her becoming more relaxed...Her pain was severe, and results were not immediate. However, little by little, we saw our little crazy girl come back to us. I'll never be able to say enough 'thank you's to Dr. Heather. To see Nali in less pain, to watch her come alive again, cannot be expressed in words.

Really couldn’t recommend Ruff Day Vet enough. Our near 15 year old lab was really struggling a few months back. We had run out of options for her medically...and frankly we thought it was over. The only thing they could recommend was acupuncture at Ruff Day Vet. Fast forward 4 months and our dog is about as happy and healthy as ever. She hadn’t been able to go on a walk in about a year prior, and now she’s back up to two a day. The way they do their office is really helpful as well. It’s not like a normal vet experience for our dog (she hates the vet). It’s calming and more like going to a friends house.
KD Allston ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ruff Day’s holistic and integrated rehab approach to pain and mobility has given my dogs, and me, immensely better quality of life over the last few years. Heather’s results-oriented treatment and exercise plan recently helped Daisy, my 14-year-old border collie, recover from a serious spinal injury—she went from not being able to walk to navigating her daily exercises and enjoying an occasional beach romp. Sundance, my grumpy-old-man Catahoula mix...he would literally pull me into Ruff Day for his monthly acupuncture and laser time with Heather. When it came to say goodbye to Sundance, Heather’s quality-of-life coaching gave me the support and confidence I needed to give him the peaceful transition he deserved.
