Earth Medicine Veterinary Acupuncture & Herbs

We started taking our dog to Dr. Sarah to support dietary issues and pain management due to two luxated patellas. Since seeing Dr. Sarah, our puppy's quality of life has improved drastically, and her symptoms have subsided. She has also supported post-surgery healing and integration. Dr. Sarah is highly knowledgeable, and we are so grateful to have discovered her; she is a gem.

Dr. Sarah completely turned my dog's life around. I took him to a vet surgical specialist when he started to limp pretty badly. After a bunch of tests and expensive procedures, I was told that he might never walk without a limp again. When I went to Dr. Sarah, Larry couldn't walk more than a half a block without starting to limp and be in obvious discomfort. Fast-forward 7 months, and he's back to charging hard through the snow, playing with his dog friends, and is stronger than ever.

We started using Dr. Sarah about 9 months ago for Tate, who suffers from a digestive disorder. Her techniques have stabilized Tate and he is a much happier dude now. We have dramatically reduced the use of steroids. If this continues, Tate will ge living a long, happy life.

Highly recommend, Sarah's incredibly knowledgable, kind, and calm. Our 4-year old Aussie had a rare spinal injury in May, and thanks to her treatments with Sarah, she's had a full recovery! She gave us exercises to do at home, and we always saw big improvements after her accupuncture sessions. Peaceful and healing environment, and we get to stay with our dog during the treatments.

I highly recommend Dr. Meintel. She helped my Doberman Pinscher back to health by accurately diagnosing a problem in her neck, then helped her get back to feeling good again. She's reliable and great at what she does, and my dog loves her. Thank you!

Barney my Beagle/ Dox has gone through 4 treatments thus far. Having spent $5,300 for an MRI in Portland and finding out he has two herniated discs and too high risk for surgery (age and anesthesia) I was at a loss. My vet recommended Sarah, what a difference it made. From having to ride in a wagon after walking only 50 or so yards to running, walking, and back to being joyful. I cannot say enough about about what a difference it has made. Would love to post a video of him having a good time.

Sara has been treating my little Chihuahua for almost 3 years now, shortly after his back surgery. He loves to see Sara and have his acupuncture, after which he curls up in his bed and takes a nice long nap. He feels great, she is amazing!

We love Sarah! Our elderly dog had the pleasure of seeing her in the last months of his life and she relieved his suffering and inflammation. She is so kind, compassionate and her office is wonderful and calming. Our dog loved her too.

Ember, my 10 year old 65 pound Aussie mix, has benefited enormously from her acupuncture treatments with Dr. Meintel. She calmed Em’s initial nervousness with a gentle voice and touch that put us both at ease. We are both grateful for her advice and service.

Sarah's amazing care has helped both my dogs. Biss herniated discs in her back that at one point prevented her from walking. Instead of surgery Biss has received consistent acupuncture with Sarah and is walking well. Biss has been able to spread out her treatments to every three weeks. Sarah has made a huge difference in Biss' mobility and pain control.

Sarah also helped my dog Pablo with complications from chemotherapy. She treated him for his nausea, inappetence and arthritis.

Sarah has greatly improved the quality of my dog's lives. Her gentle nature and calming presence are really appreciated.

Thank you Sarah for all you have done for my furry family.

Sarah has been treating our 2 dachshunds for several years now . They both suffer from IVDD and Sarah’s compassionate attentive care has beyond a doubt helped to manage and keep their back disease at bay . She has even won over the heart of one of the grumpiest dachshunds imaginable .

Sarah is absolutely wonderful with my sweet old girl. Every time we see Sarah, Claire easily relaxes and enjoys her acupuncture treatment. I am so grateful for the help she has given to me and Claire!

Can’t say enough good things about Dr Meintel! My 12 year old golden retriever Jade was so happy to go for her acupuncture! Her comfort and mobility has improved so much, she isn’t needing medications anymore! Jade is one happy pup!

Game changer. Sarah is so personalble and amazing with our pup! She’s been apart of our lives since 2016 after Peppers back surgery. If anyone is skeptical about it, let your dogs body language prove you wrong!

With the help from DR. Meintel my dog Bruno went from barely walking to galloping. Her knowledge and compassion is giving Bruno a new lease on life.

My doggies LOVE Dr. Sarah! She's an animal guru and wonderful all around!

Dr. Meintel is great in so many ways. She has always been there for my fur babies. She has even gone above and beyond to give great care. She truly is passionate about what she loves to do. I highly recommend Dr. Meintel to anyone.

Dr. Sarah is amazing! Wolfie loves seeing her and is always better after a visit. Thank you for all you do for us!

I wouldn’t go anywhere else. I drive nearly an hour for the experience both my pup and I have by going. She’s gentle, attentive, and gets you results.

Sarah is a skilled and compassionate provider.
