My 12-year-old black Lab, Jake, has end stage/ terminal kidney failure. Being a veterinarian myself I know he doesn’t have much time left with me. I tried many treatments to make his transition comfortable, but with limited benefit. Ultimately, I want him to be comfortable, and having experienced the benefits of acupuncture myself, I decided to pursue this option for him. Luckily, I knew that Sun Dog Cat Moon offered acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and nutrition consultations. This was a perfect solution because I have always admired Dr. Ruth, not only as a veterinarian and colleague, but as a kind, compassionate person. Dr. Ruth has been so kind and understanding with Jake. I couldn’t be more pleased with the results of her treatment and care. Jake is currently eating very well everyday because of the acupuncture, Chinese herbs and diet she recommended. Jake is no longer vomiting and is happy with lots of energy. Dr. Ruth Roberts has been devoted to Jake’s progress. I am forever in her debt for what she’s helped him to achieve. I no longer see Jake as the dying dog I love, but now I see a vibrant dog LIVING a great life!!!
All my Thanks to Ruth Roberts, DVM!!!

These are very kind words, and it’s always a joy to see a wonderful dog that doesn't feel well become a wonderful dog that feels great! Jake no longer needs IV fluids every other week, and the amount of western medicines is markedly reduced. For those of you with pets that have suffered from kidney disease, you understand that his progress is a gift and must feel like a miracle to his owner. Chinese medicine and acupuncture in particular are energy-based medicines, and while it does require the knowledge and ability to apply these techniques, I like to remind myself and my clients that I am only a conduit of that energy.
Cheers! - Dr. Ruth
