Aiken Pet Wellness

Dr. Timmerman is a holistic veterinarian. His focus on Nutritional Response Testing (NRT) is very effective. Gut health is 70% of a dog's immune system, and this method helps a dog to heal by focusing on the gut (eg rebalancing the microbiome with healthy bacteria, treating nutrient deficiencies with a well balanced diet and adding in supplementation if needed). Dr Timmerman also uses animal chiropractics and low level lazer therapy, which are both gentle ways that stimulate the body to heal. Prior to trying NRT, I did a lot of guesswork, which is expensive in both time and money. NRT has eliminated all of that guesswork so that I am able to test and know which foods and supplements work well for my dog. My dog is a Westie. This breed is notorious for both skin allergies and gut issues. My dog is no exception, but thanks to Dr. Timmerman those issues have been dramatically reduced. -No more vomiting yellow bile. -Toes still get inflamed (but not as bad as before) and I'm able to immediately treat and quickly stop the inflammation. (I use Candida Freedom to wash his feet. It's a probiotic shampoo.) -Still prone to ear infections, but since balancing his diet, the number of infections is significantly less. -Still prone to skin allergies, but the effect of the allergy is also much less, since I improved his diet. I've used 2 holistic veterinarians so far and both have focused on gut health. And I can confidently say that my dog's body is healthier now than when he was a pup.

Life-changing for many dogs, cats, & horses. An alternative perspective on health and wellness for our beloved animals. Grateful to know Dr. Timmerman.
