Client Testimonials

Megan Ayrault, LMT, LAMP   Touch With Heart Animal Massage

As a professional massage therapist for animals, and also as an animal owner myself, I have been blessed living in the Seattle area with its rich resource of top- quality Veterinarians, and Kari DeLeeuw is the best of the best. I'm not the only one to feel this way. I work with many animal owners in my professional practice, and inevitably will hear the occasional less-than-stellar review of any Veterinarian, even those I know to be excellent. Kari is the exception to this rule. She is the only Vet about whom absolutely 100% of the many comments I've heard from her clients have been nothing but admiration and gratitude for her skills, thoroughness and compassion. Whenever I hear these comments, I always echo the sentiment with my own experiences of having consistently witnessed the benefits of her work for my own animals. Not only this, but I've also experienced first-hand (literally) the results of her chiropractic and acupuncture treatments for her horse and dog clients' bodies as I massage them over time. They love her and benefit from her work, which is the best testimonial of all!

Kristen O' Hearn   Cavallis Horse Training and Education

Iceman was lame on his left hind and his entire leg was blocked with no improvement. After that Dr. DeLeeuw saw him and found a pulled muscle around his left hip. She did acupuncture and used the magic red potion (Vitamin B12 injected into acupuncture points) and his hind end now feels better than ever."

Thank you again for all the careful, thorough attention you have given them over the time we have come to you. When it comes to people we are thankful for, you are on the top of our list!

Jaclyn Humphrey (& Splendid),   (FEI dressage rider)

Splendid & I have you to thank for all our many successes over the past 7 years, but most importantly health and soundness. We will miss you dearly, but wish you the best in your new practice. I am so blessed to have a vet that has given me and taught me a holistic approach for Splendid's care, as well as others in our barn. You are irreplaceable!

An excellent saddle fitting guide is on his website: http://www.ultimatesaddlesolutions.com.

Dr. Signe Beebe, The Integrative Veterinary Clinic

Kari had a little mutt named Vida with terminal cancer when she was in Veterinary school. She had done everything to help her including surgery and chemotherapy, and Vida was terrified of Vets after a few months. Kari brought her to Signe Beebe for acupuncture. She was shocked when Vida became so relaxed that she fell asleep on the examination table. These small things become life-changing events. When not teaching other Veterinarians the healing properties of traditional Chinese herbs and acupuncture, Dr. Beebe can be found at her clinic in Sacramento, CA at The Integrative Veterinary Clinic.

Dr. Michael Salewski, Pilchuck Veterinary Hospital

Kari spent six years working at Pilchuck Veterinary Hospital in Snohomish, Washington. This world-class hospital is incredible not only for its cutting-edge medicine, but also for the group of Veterinarians who have come together to help so many animals. It is their influence that has helped Kari practice the highest quality of medicine for her patients. As difficult as it was to leave, she is comforted knowing that her clients and patients could not be in more able hands.

Dr. Michael Salewski's vision of the Alternative Medicine and Rehabilitation Center at Pilchuck recently became a reality. Kari feels so fortunate to have been a part of this group who helps so many companion and competition animals throughout the Northwest. Dr. Salewski remains a valued friend and mentor. http://pilchuckvet.com/doctors/horse.htm.
