A superb wonderful Vet, whose gentleness and love are Paramount. I cannot speak highly enough of this practice and Catherine the new Vet is again a Vet full of love, Care and attention.. Plus the care you get as you walk in as you can help yourself to a nice coffee. The practice is located in wonderful surroundings of a boat marina and there are some fabulous walks by the side of the canal when you have finished. All in all a score Of 100 out of 100.
Read on Google →I am really grateful for finding Dr Rinnert . He is very kind, patient and great even with stubborn German shepherds like my dog. Bandit has been seeing Dr Rinnert mainly for his constant itching and skin issues. Acupuncture combined with herbs is amazing and works wonders for him. Every acupuncture session turns him from being an active 24 h operating cctv into a sleeping baby. I have attached pictures of Bandit being himself and after his acupuncture session. I think everyone should consider Dr Rinnert’s approach first as it is not about treating symptoms, but going to the root cause to address it.

She is now 16 years old and struggled initially with arthritis and joint pain, along with some other varying symptoms as she continues to age. With the support of Rinnert and his team, she has had laser therapy, acupuncture and traditional Chinese herbal remedies to support her over this time. As her symptoms change, her therapies have been adjusted to best support her at each specific time and it has greatly improved her pain levels in particular. The team at Holistic Vet Care have always been personable, professional and supportive. Their approach and support alongside traditional, western, pharmaceuticals is appreciated, as the balance can feel difficult at times and is also a very personal choice. I feel very supported by the team and particularly Rinnert as Gracie’s final days seem to be drawing closer - she has the best care and support any dog could receive. Thank you Holistic Vet Care!
Read on Google →Over the last six months, Rinnert and the team at Holistic Vet Care have been a huge support. They’ve been treating my senior dog for arthritis with acupuncture, and the results have been impressive and have exceeded my expectations - in terms of the return of mobility and energy and more. Not only has my dog improved significantly, but each visit has been met with curiosity, care and professionalism. They are clearly dedicated to the well-being of their patients. I’m truly grateful for their help and would recommend them to fellow pet owners.
Read on Google →I can’t recommend Dr. Rinnert at Holistic Vet Care highly enough – he has literally given my dog Xena her life back, and I’m still in awe of the results. Xena’s severe, non-stop itching started in January 2025. From that very first month until July 2025, she was on steroids (on and off, higher doses, lower doses, different kinds) just to keep her from tearing herself apart. In July we finally saw the dermatologist, who took her off steroids and started her on Apoquel. It stopped the itching, but I was never able to reduce her to the proper maintenance dose without the itch coming roaring back. Twice-weekly medicated baths, prescription hypoallergenic food, and the cone 24/7 became our exhausting routine. After almost a full year we were no closer to an answer or a real fix – only lifelong drugs and management. In October 2025, completely out of hope and options, I found Dr. Rinnert at Holistic Vet Care and booked an appointment. From the first visit the difference was night and day. Dr. Rinnert truly listened to every detail of the past year, asked insightful questions, and spent as much time as we needed. You can feel how much he loves animals – Xena, who is usually nervous at vets, relaxed with him right away. Two months later, in December 2025, Xena is OFF Apoquel completely – no rebound itching, no cone, no scratching, nothing. Her skin and coat look amazing, and her overall health has improved she is like a puppy again (she’s almost 8) most importantly, she’s happy and comfortable again. If you’ve been stuck in the steroid → dermatologist → Apoquel cycle with no real resolution, do yourself and your dog a favor and see Dr. Rinnert. He finds and treats the root cause instead of just suppressing symptoms, he’s incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely brilliant with animals. Xena and I are forever grateful. Holistic Vet Care is worth every single mile and every penny – five stars feels nowhere near enough! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
