My poor pup’s chronic allergy/yeast/skin issues began over 6 years ago. When Zoey was about 2, her ears and paws began irritating her and she would scratch and lick until she bled. Eventually the irritation moved to her entire body, inside and out. Over the years she’s lost weight, most of her hair, and her joy. I have seen more than 10 different vets, including specialists, and spent countless dollars only to be left frustrated and alone with a sick and miserable dog. Then came Dr. Menolly Cote. Within one visit we finally got not just the care I had been searching for but also the answers! Every vet before Dr. Cote had a different explanation for my dog’s issues and another very expensive, harmful medication for her to take. I love that Dr. Cote took the time to research diets (and any other question I have about alternative treatments) and was able to provide us with evidence-based solutions. After a few weeks on her new diet, supplements, and probiotics Zoey’s chronic issues began clearing. We are able to keep the symptoms of her allergies in check through this and regular bathing – no more harmful steroids, pharmaceuticals, and overuse of antibiotics! Zoey has gained more than 15 pounds, her coat has regrown, and she’s happy, loving, and energetic. I will follow Dr. Cote to the ends of the earth! Not to mention the whole staff at Blackbird is so wonderful with Zoey. She LOVES going to the vet!
