Foote and Friends

Dr. Foote is an expert that was recommended to us by our vet. She has deep knowledge and vast experience in feline behavior and working on aggression between pets in a multi-pet household. Her consult sessions are extremely productive and her methods showed postive results every time. She is very communicative and easy to reach. She worked with our vet to design a diet plan and takes into account every single detail. Dr. Foote is a professional and truly cares about the well being of her clients and pets.

We are incredibly grateful to have been referred to Dr. Foote for our dog, Bo. Dr. Foote has been thorough, responsive, caring and understanding while working with us. Bo had a bit of an unfortunate start to life before coming to us and some negative experiences with vets that left him extremely nervous and defensive when it came to vet care and some general body handling by unfamiliar people. Thanks to Dr. Foote, we now have a fear free and much less invasive vet care plan for Bo. Working with our regular veterinarian, she has guided us in finding an appropriate medication combination for vet visits and suggested little tweaks in our vet’s handling procedures to help Bo get through the visits with as little stress as possible. She gave us support and guidance in the area of desensitization and conditioned emotional responses for us to work on at home, in order prepare him for his vet visits. Our last vet appointment was a much less stressful experience for all of us, including Bo! Much of what I’ve learned from Dr. Foote, I am able to apply to other areas of our lives, which has helped Bo become much more comfortable and confident in his everyday life. We can’t thank Dr. Foote enough for what she has done for us and Bo.

Dr. Foote was very knowledgeable and her suggestions for our dogs made a lot of sense. We're doing our best to follow them & have definitely seen some improvement.

Dr. Foote’s puppy clinic was very informative and specifically helpful for us. Highly recommend!

We spent over $300 on services to help us with our dogs behavior and did not get the services we paid for. We were asked to complete several tasks and we did as requested, we emailed her consistently with videos and questions but did not get responses half the time. We emailed her telling her that we did not feel like we were getting the services we paid for and got a response they would be in touch more and never heard from her again. The only reason I gave 2 stars instead of 1 is she prescribed medicine in the beginning that was helping some but has stopped working.

Not one to write reviews but if you’re in the situation we were in, and your goal is to help your pet, costs add up and this is NOT one to waste money on unfortunately. We loved the idea of not having to bring our already anxious/reactive dog into an actual practice so Dr Footes virtual counseling seemed perfect for us. Our phone consult with Dr Foote did take place, but none of the issues or problems we had were addressed or helped. Medication/supplements prescribed were not clearly instructed or advised nor were doses or next steps. Our dog was labeled as “challenging” (obviously that’s why we hired a behavioralist) when we expressed our concerns with Dr Footes lack of response to both myself and our trainer. Dr Foote claimed to be traveling which caused her lack of response yet her responses were very vague and again did not answer any of our questions. “3 month unlimited support” is a lie unless useless vague info counts as support. Dr Foote would not even come to a reasonable refund agreement amount which we offered to pay her for her time but kindly requested some of the funds back so we could seek help elsewhere. It’s a shame Dr Foote calls herself a behavioralist and takes advantage of pet owners who simply are trying to help their pets and are already stressed enough! This service is nothing short of a waste of time and a scam.
