Testimonials

My dogs and I absolutely love Dr Tarrant and his staff! Dr Tarrant does a great job collecting info before making an assessment. He always listens and considers everything I say. His office is well worth the long drive for me. I would refer Arbor Creek Animal Hospital in a heartbeat!!

The staff at ACAH is AMAZING!! They are very welcoming and accommodating. I never feel like I am being overcharged or pressured into unnecessary test/treatments. My dog Roxy gets spoiled with treats and love every time we walk through the doors. I feel very blessed and thankful to have found ACAH!!

My heart sank with my 14 year old Lhasa mix's diagnosis of Laryngeal Paralysis. As an old dog, Wendell already suffered from incontinence, and this latest issue with his labored breathing was a real concern. The traditional western treatment for Lar Par is expensive and painful surgery, with some nasty potential side effects (and that is IF a 14 year old would even survive the surgery!) I took Wendell to Dr. T, who started him on Chinese herbs. Within 10 days, Wendell's incontinence was gone. Within 6 weeks, Wendell's breathing returned to normal. Wendell is now almost 15 years young - he feels better, runs and plays with the younger dogs, and acts like a youngster again. Dr. Tarrant would probably tell you that I was quite skeptical when I first took Wendell in to see him. (I had already contacted Rolling Acres about how to proceed when Wendell's time to cross the Rainbow Bridge arrived.) Thank you, Dr. Tarrant and your staff, for allowing Wendell to enjoy a quality life during his golden years.

Dr. Tarrant and his staff are the best !!!. We take all of our animals to him. One of my cats injured his back a couple of months ago, Dr Tarrant did accupuncture for his injury and you would never know he had been injured. I am a firm believer in accupuncture when an injury first occurs, Smokie is living proof of that. I don't know what we would do without Dr Tarrant !

I was at my wits end with the declining health of my senior terrier. After seeing Dr. Tarrant, my dog is much better and continuing to improve on the treatment regimen recommended by Dr. Tarrant. During our visit, I was reassured and calmed by the doctor's knowledge and expertise. I will continue to bring my pets to Dr. Tarrant and highly recommend his clinic if you love your pets!

Did you ever wonder if Chinese Medicine really works? I can tell you from experience that it does! Macgyver was a 3 year old black lab when he first saw Dr. Mike Tarrant. He had been having trouble with his ears for over two years at that point. They would get sore and inflamed intermittently and we would take him back to his vet over and over again. The last time this happened his ears were so red and actually had blisters in them. In addition, his Inflammatory Bowel Disease had flaired up again and he was experiencing a lot of diarrhea. With that came a lack of energy, so much so that he didn’t want to play anymore. I couldn’t bear to see him suffer so much so I began to look for another vet for him. I found a site for Dr. Mike on the internet describing his practice and I knew that I had to try something new for Macky. To make a long story short, Dr. Mike examined him, listened to his story patiently, and proposed a course of treatment for him which included Chinese herbs. I am open-minded so I didn’t have a problem with his plan, and I am so happy for this. Macky is now a healthy 5 year old with great energy, a healthy digestive system, and his ear problems are under control. Whenever anything comes up, Dr. Mike has a new plan for him, and so far it has always worked. I might also add that he is now off of Prednisone and Sulfasalazine, which he had been taking for the first 3 years of his life for his Inflammatory Bowel Disease. I would recommend Arbor Creek and Dr. Tarrant for anybody who wants the best care for their pets. Dr. Mike and the entire staff are top-notch in every way. They are caring and professional and you know that you are in the best hands when you are there. I am so grateful for the wonderful care that they have given to my best friend.

My dog, Cody, has been sick since last year with vaccine reactions and has been under the care of Blue Pearl off and on. On a regular basis, he is under the care of Dr. Michael Tarrant. I thank God every day for finding Dr. Mike. He has brought Cody and myself through some tough times. He puts you at ease, never hurries, always explains everything, asks if you have questions and even if you worry too much he does not tell you so. They love your pet as much as you do and show it every time you go. His staff is very friendly and you look forward to going back - no hospital odors are present - everything is clean and you feel more like you are at home. We started seeing Dr. Mike in February of this year and Cody is almost well - this was something he could have died from and without the best care he probably would have. He is the love of my life and I was not ready to let go at 11 years of togetherness. I hope for at least 11 more as he completes my life and makes everything else in life seem trivial. I trust Dr. Mike with the care of my baby and that is why I would drive from Tonganoxie to Olathe every day if I needed to. Thank you all so much.

For several years I had sought a veterinarian that I felt cared. For me it is not only for the medical treatment of my dogs, but also for my comfort as their "parent." Those of us who are animal lovers know what I am talking about, and those who have "babies" with health issues or special needs, really know what I am talking about. Dr. Mike Tarrant and his staff at Arbor Creek Animal Hospital have been exactly what I was seeking, they are knowledgeable, personable and just a great group of people. They have been serving our veterinarian needs now for 5 years and I look forward to many more! Bad Things Bakery
