Testimonials

Amazing staff!! Thank you for your excellent compassion for the care of my bearded dragon!

Words cannot express our gratitude for your kindness and attention towards Georgia. She is as good as new — maybe even a little better. Thank you for the miracle of a healthy life!!!

I would not trust my cats’ care to anyone else. Dr. Strickfaden takes the time to listen and understand my concerns for my cats. She treats their health needs, both physically and emotionally, professionally and compassionately.

I can’t thank Dr. Heintz enough for her great service, her knowledge, her care, and her explanation regarding Aspen’s health. Dr. Heintz is outstanding!!! I can’t forget the staff, too. Thank you Becky, Priscilla, and Kyle for your compassion, call backs and thorough explanations. This type of service means so much to us.

We bring our English Bulldogs to Countrycare Animal Complex for many reasons. The most important reason is trust. We know the doctors and staff will do anything and everything they can to give our dogs the best care possible. They are there to provide us with the professional yet understanding support that every family with pets should have. We wouldn’t trust anybody else!

I like Countrycare because they not only take great care and concern of my pets but also of me… they don’t send home a pet from their care until they know those pets are truly ready to go home and be able to take care of their own needs and I’m reassured that they’ve done their best to know my dog can make it on her own with my help. I have great faith in their help and care!

I trust you and truly believe you are looking out for our pets’ best interests. On a scale of 1 to 10, you are off the charts. Everyone at Countrycare shows genuine compassion and concern for the pets and the owners. During the last 9 years we have brought seven of our pets to Countrycare, and the care they have received has always been top notch. Your motto is ‘modern veterinary medicine with old-fashioned caring!’ and you truly practice it day to day.

I brought my 5 yr old hunting dog into Countrycare because when I came home from vacation we found her unable to walk. Dr S. was amazing. After a series of visits she was back to normal and we were even able to use her duck hunting. We continue to bring her in every couple of months for an adjustment. She is running around like a puppy and we are not retiring her this year like we planned. Without Dr. S she would have probably been put down cause of the extreme pain she was in.

I just have to say that I was very impressed with the genuine, caring staff at Countrycare. I read a review online in which a woman stated she drove an hour to have her pets seen at your facility. I thought, “I have to check them out”. Now, I realize what she had experienced, because I feel the same way. I have had a few good vets over the last 22 yrs for our pets, but I still felt a noticeable difference when I brought our pets to your facility. Thank you for your professional, kind, genuine care. We are new to the facility, but I was so impressed, that I have decided this will be our new veterinarian family.

The doctors and staff at Countrycare are very easy to work with and helpful. I am extremely pleased with their willingness to use non-traditional methods of care. The Bicom therapies are wonderful.

I make the drive from Neenah to Green Bay twice a month for the outstanding holistic care at Countrycare. I have seen great improvements in both quality of life and longevity in the numerous animals I have brought in for Bicom, Craniosacral, chiropractic care, etc. I highly recommend Dr. Strickfaden and her staff to anyone who wants to offer the very best to their pet.

Bicom is a wonderful piece of advanced technology that I would highly recommend for every animal and human on the planet. It helped Tango in many ways and gave her an amazing quality of life. The overall experience of coming to your clinic was amazing. It is such a warm friendly environment to be in. Everyone is so friendly and positive they make you feel right at home.

We just want to thank you for giving Chip a second chance at life. Before we found you at CAC, we were told Chip would need surgery for his neck pain. But then we discovered Bicom treatments! And now, two years later he is a happy & pain free dog who loves to play. It truly was a miracle we found you and your holistic treatment options! You have always treated us and all 5 of our dogs like family. Thank you so much!

We have used the holistic services offered by Countrycare and have always been happy with the services and results we’ve seen. We feel that the Bicom treatments helped Makayla keep her mobile and on four legs much longer than she otherwise would have been given her condition. We’ve always received fabulous service from the staff and vets at Countrycare and we highly recommend their holistic services to everyone we meet!!

Arnold is a Chesapeake Bay Retriever who came into Rescue with horrible, chronic draining wounds on his leg. He had failed all conventional therapies, surgery and antibiotics, experienced many side effects, and was facing amputation of the leg or euthanasia. We tried integrated care at Countrycare that included Bicom, ozone and dietary supplements. I am delighted to say that Arnold’s leg healed, and today he is an active and happy retriever.

Countrycare has helped my 12 year old golden with his hip dysplasia using acupuncture, chiropractic and Bicom therapies. I’ve been able to keep him off medication and he is so much happier now – he has less pain and more energy (for a 12 yr old!). I wish I would have started this years ago!!! Dr. Strickfaden and the staff are very caring and knowledgeable and I am very grateful for all that they’ve done! I love having a place close that encompasses holistic and alternative medicine along with traditional practices.

My dog was having horrible neck pain he could barely move the vet we had at the time said that he had a slipped disk and that he would paralyze himself and we would have to put him down. It was awful… but then we went to Countrycare they took their time to help us instead of just giving him meds. We started Bicom and slowly he was back to his normal self it has been a little over a year he acts like he did when he was a puppy. He plays with his toys goes for long walks again and runs around with his new sister Charlie who is twice the size he is. Thank you soooo much Countrycare we appreciate everything you have done for us.

My 3 year old boxer, Sadie suffered from severe allergies. We did everything to make her as comfortable as we could, but she went two summers being miserable. I decided to give Bicom a try and I couldn’t be happier. It was the best summer Sadie has ever had! She has no staph infection on her belly; in fact she has hair and markings I hadn’t seen since she was a puppy. Sadie didn’t go lame this summer from her feet becoming so swollen with sores and we experienced only a few ear infections which is a major breakthrough since she got infections every few weeks in the past. The staff at Countrycare Animal Complex understands that your pet is a part of your family and they treat Sadie like she is their very own, she loves going to her treatments. Thanks Countrycare Animal Complex!!!!!

I have been taking all my dogs (rescues and my own) to Countrycare for over 10 years. It is an hour drive one way and it is well worth the trip! Dr. Karen Strickfaden is the only vet I will trust the health of my dogs to. Our latest challenge was my 8 year-old golden retriever with Masticatory Muscle Myositis. The conventional treatment involves large doses of Prednisone; there was no information available on any holistic alternative. Dr. Strickfaden and I researched and contacted several other sources and we were able to put together a protocol which included Chinese Herbs, supplements, therapeutic essential oils and Bicom treatments. To date, nine months later, she is doing great, eating well, lots of energy and still competing in agility and loving it. I am forever grateful to Dr. Strickfaden, not only for her knowledge in holistic medicine and treatments but her willingness to research other options.

I can’t thank Countrycare Animal Complex enough! Our rat terrier Millie is only about 8 years old and recently had an accident which left her paralyzed for about 45 minutes and then she was able to walk. We took her to a vet in the area and were told that she would need surgery that would cost at least $2,000 OR she could hurt herself again and then we would have to put her down. After a VERY emotional weekend and week I finally called Countrycare Animal Complex. I’m SO glad that I did. They gave us hope that Millie will be back to normal soon! In 1 treatment of Bicom I noticed a difference, she wanted to play and was running around like she did when we got here 5 years ago! We can’t wait to see how she will do with more treatments and will certainly send more people your way! Thank you Dr. Strickfaden for your patience and knowledge! Also the staff is amazing! Great on the phone and even better in person!

Dr. Strickfaden performed Bicom on our 11 year-old chocolate lab, Margo. Margo had been diagnosed by our Oshkosh vet with Spondylosis. The Bicom, while not a cure for Spondylosis, gave our Margo a wonderful 10 months of life. When we came to Dr. Strickfaden, Margo was sleeping 20 hours a day and not moving much. To those of you unfamiliar with Bicom, the procedure seems a bit like magic and I was doubtful. However, within one day of her first Bicom treatment, Margo was chasing balls in the yard. Margo changed from acting like a 15 year-old dog to acting like a 5 year-old dog. She became so active. Eventually, we were able to take her off all the harsh meds that she was on and only take her for Bicom treatments every 6 weeks. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Bicom. Margo went from a lethargic, dog full of pain to a joyful dog who chased balls and was happy until her last days. I can’t thank Dr. Strickfaden and the staff enough for giving us those joy filled months with Margo. Those memories and gratitude will last with us forever.

My previous dog was taken care of so well during her acupuncture treatments and care of her vestibular disease that when I got my current dog, there was no question where she would receive her care! The staff is great!

What I appreciate about Countrycare in particular is the holistic approach to healing and health. I was not just handed an expensive script and dismissed. I felt like I was included in the total treatment picture and results were shared so I understood and can be an integral part of the healing.

Thank you for your care and the professionalism that each of the staff provides. Your hospital is the cleanest and best one I’ve found in the three states we have lived in. I appreciate all the educational information that is available, the quiet “spa” music in each room and that you sell and promote holistic care and foods for our pets.

Thank you to Dr. Strickfaden and the entire team at Countrycare Animal Complex for “thinking outside the box” and providing many excellent alternative therapies and natural supplements for her. Countrycare is a very special place where love is felt from the moment you walk through the door. We are so lucky to have a vet center willing to practice natural and holistic treatments right along with traditional veterinary medicine.

Anytime I have visited Countrycare, the staff have been very inviting, informative, and willing to share information and knowledge. One of the main reasons I choose Countrycare is to have the options of doing things holistically for my pets. Any experience I’ve had there, whether it’s been holistic or not, has been the best. I feel like I’m being informed of all of the choices without having conventional medicine pushed as the only option. Keep up the great job!

I loved that the assistant was so patient and thorough with the introduction to the clinic, as well as explaining everything so well. She also wrote up how to prepare the holistic food, so we could have that. I will always be thankful for the examination that found allergies and a pancreas issue, as our cat’s problem has been taken care of by changing his food. He has had this problem for years, and now we have the answer, thanks to Dr. Strickfaden! A job well done!

I travel to Countrycare because their philosophy and integrated care incorporates the best of conventional therapies with holistic options. The climate is calm and engaging, and the staff are always pleasant. I learn something new at every visit, and my animals’ health and well being are enhanced. We are greeted by name. Veterinarians and all staff share the best success as well as end of life sadness. My family has lived many places. Countrycare is a truly unique setting, and the best veterinary care I have experienced.

I love the relaxed and quiet atmosphere in the examination rooms and the reception area. It makes a big difference having the lights low and soft music playing. I don’t know how my animals feel about it but it calms me down! The doctors are extremely open to alternative healing and always willing to try new remedies. I appreciate their holistic understanding of health so there’s a better chance of getting to the root of the problem rather than just treating the symptoms. I love that Countrycare carries raw food and high quality dry food and treats. I also appreciate the large assortment of natural health products available.

We love Countrycare because of the sense of caring & concern we feel the minute we walk in the door. Our English cockers have been patients at Countrycare for about 11 years. The acupuncture that was administered to Bubba for his disc issues added 6 years of quality to his life. When he passed in 2006 Doctor Karen was there with us to share our loss. Our latest concerns are with Shore and her kidney failure and Mickey’s battle with Addison’s disease. Again doctor Karen never gave up until she was able to properly diagnose Mickey’s condition and devise the proper treatment plan. The support staff at Countrycare is always more than willing to address our many concerns. It is comforting to know they will be there when we need them. For us Countrycare is well worth the 30 min. drive from Two Rivers.

A big thanks to the staff at Countrycare for caring for Ellie and Murphy, our border collies! Everything from ACL surgery and arthritis, to paw injuries and snacking on dog bedding has been taken care of at Countrycare.

As an overprotective ‘mom’ of two kitties, I know Hannah Baby & Mr. Fuzzybottoms are in good hands every time I bring them through the door to Countrycare. Whenever I’ve called, the staff has been great at getting us in, answering my million questions, and giving the best treatment! After a few surgeries as well as regular check-ups, I know the staff cares for my ‘kids’ as much as I do.

I just wanted to write to thank you for the excellent service that Countrycare has provided over the years. I have horses, dogs and cats and Countrycare has always been there, diagnosing doing surgeries and treating them. I have found the staff and doctors to be very friendly, honest and professional. I also appreciate the fact that I can use the same clinic for my horses as well as my small animal needs.

My husky recently had surgery at your facility while I was mobilized for the Navy Reserve. The care and information I personally received prior to my mobilization assured me that my pet would receive the best care in my absence and made me feel so much better about not being there. My family had very little to worry about due to the professionalism and level of communication provided during the surgery and during the after care. I do not believe I would have been as reassured going anywhere else! Thank you Countrycare for your personalized, friendly and highly professional service!!!
