Report
not only argumentative and controlling but a narcissist and a very deceitful person. She would rather destroy you then let you be. Accessing and manipulating an answering machine, covertly cooperating with a police investigation that had no merit, colluding to disconnect a business and personal telephone line, this is the type of person she is.

I can tell she genuinely cares about my dog and the animals in her care. My dog does not tolerate discomfort and shots at first we're really upsetting to him. She held him, told him it was going to be ok and showed him empathy. That moment told me everything I needed to know about the care she was giving my dog.

You will find no better care for your pet than at Natural Vet for Pets. The amount thoroughness, time, and energy Dr. Hershman gave my sick dog was incredible. I have not seen this much care at any other vet. This is where you want to bring your furry family member! Winston says thanks!
