Dr. Toolan is very friendly, and treats my dog like one of her own. When my dog, 10, first came in she was limping after long runs. With the first acupuncture session, she had lots more energy. After one more session, she was able to run without a problem! We have a younger dog that can continue to run, bike and ski with us! Thank you, Dr. Toolan!
I have had two dogs, both adult male Golden Retrievers, under the care of Dr. LeeannToolan. One was a 12 1/2 y.o. male who had back end weakness issues. The acupuncture and herbal treatment allowed this dog to have an entire year of absolute quality of life before he died of other problems (cancer) unrelated to this treatment at age 13 1/2.
I currently have a second dog under Dr.Toolan’s treatment for barking and mild anxiety. I was getting another young puppy this summer and didn’t want the puppy picking up on this dogs behavior problems (that escalated after the death of the older dog). The results have been amazing and our entire household is very happy about these results.
In my household, our animals are an integral part of our family and it is worth every effort and every session to maintain the happiness of each animal for they are with us for 12-14 yrs of our lives. I cannot sing the praises of Dr. Toolan’s effort and personal care that she puts into each individual animal under her treatment program.

Shorty has been doing so much better since his acupuncture sessions with Dr. Toolan. When he first started, he was in a lot of pain (his loud yelps proved that) but he now has improved to the point that it’s hard to believe he ever had a problem. But x-rays don’t lie and 3 bad disks are no joke. Now I have to make sure Shorty doesn’t overdo it on the stairway because he acts like a pup (and he was 6 years old in February). This is as close to a miracle as I’ve ever seen. I now am a firm believer in the benefits of acupuncture. Thank you Dr Toolan.
Angel’s life has improved greatly since starting acupuncture. She is back playing with her toys and able to go on walks again! She looks forward to her treatments and loves Leeann and her team. We are glad we decided to give acupuncture a try as it has given Angel a happier and healthier life.
I am so grateful for the skills Dr. Toolan has to offer in her practice. My dachshund hurt her back and her hind quarters were paralyzed for a couple of months. After swelling went down and she began to clumsily walk again, Tootsie was referred for acupuncture treatment. Dr. Toolan carefully and thoughtfully assessed Tootsie’s condition taking the most thorough history and physical you could ever want. She explained everything about her treatment plan. The herbal supplements she prescribed proved to be an important compliment to the acupuncture treatment. Dr. Toolan’s skilled treatment approach significantly improved Tootsie’s walking, her pain and hump in her back. During treatments, Tootsie was so relaxed and Dr. Toolan was always reassuring and comforting to both Tootsie and I. This veterinarian is an extremely talented, intuitive caregiver.
Gracie is a 14 1/2 year-old Britney. As the result of acquiring the disease known as immune mediated poly arthritis, she has severe arthritic pain. Prior to the acupuncture treatments, provided by Dr. Toolan, she was nearly totally immobile. She is now capable to get around as she pleases, go for short walks and is very happy. I highly recommend Dr. Toolan. I have used other acupuncturist with good, but less favorable results.
We started treating my dog Onyx’s arthritis issues with acupuncture in July of 2012. She was 12 years old at the time and had been exhibiting signs of tenderness along her spine and was reluctant to go up or down stairs and flat out refused to come for walks with us. Our first appointment with Dr. Toolan was so interesting! Onyx was so relaxed that she almost fell asleep during the treatment. She was very tired for the rest of the day and seemed stiff and sore the next day, but the following day, she was the first dog off the porch and ready for a walk! It has been two years now and Onyx who is approaching 14 years old, is doing great! She so looks forward to her visits with Dr. Toolan! She knows that she will feel much better after her acupuncture treatment. Her visits fluctuate between 6 and 8 weeks apart, as she will let me know when she is ready for another visit. We can’t be more appreciative of Dr. Toolan and her help to keep our senior girl active and healthy.
Come and listen to a story of a dog named Brody, a hyper active rescue English Setter. We were introduced to Brody 7 years ago at a kennel in Richmond, NH. He had 4 homes in 23 months when we met and came with a boatload of behavior problems. We hired a trainer and he proved to be the challenge of a lifetime. Brody and I walked almost 30 miles per week to try and meet his exercise needs. Discussions were had with our Vet regarding medications and he felt this would create new problems (the last thing we needed). Our Vet had heard of Dr. Toolan and suggested we speak to her regarding acupuncture as a calming tool. So my wife Gayle began the dialogue with Dr. Toolan and Brody began his sessions. The results were, and are amazing. Not only with the acupuncture, but also Dr. Toolan’s knowledge of Chinese remedies, Brody is a much calmer being. Dr. Toolan noticed his hot head and prescribed an herb that would get the “fire out of his brain.” What remarkable results. Brody is much happier and calmer now. Still has his quirks, but he certainly does not suffer within like he did. Thank you Dr. Toolan!!!!
Dr. Toolan is always so kind and compassionate to Charlotte, my 9+ year old dog. She talks to her, gives her kisses and takes the time to learn what is going on. Charlotte always feels comfortable with Dr. Toolan and is excited to jump out of the car when she sees where we are. The combination of acupuncture and herbs have made a world of a difference. I have my running partner back.
I have a story to tell you, about my horse, “Classy Girl.” She is a great horse and she almost had to be put down twice. When I first saw Classy at the “Live and Let Farm,” she looked awful. She was skin and bones, so I brought her home for my Morgan “Cliff,” which I just put down a year and a half ago. Classy knew for the last six months before Cliff was put down that he was getting sicker and this was the cause of her losing the weight. She lost somewhere between 200-259 lbs. because of the stress from Cliff being sick. Around this time I had to bring my dog to the Vet for some shots and Dr. Leeann asked about the horses, I said I had to put Cliff down because of his laminitis. I told her that Classy was getting stressed over Cliff being sick and she was losing weight. I told her the Vet which came over to do her teeth told us to put her on a gain diet since she cannot eat hay any longer. Dr. Leeann said she could come over to see Classy that Saturday after work. When she came over, she was surprised at what she saw of Classy and she started working on her. I gave Classy two large scoops of Hay Stretcher, two scoops of Weight Builder, two scoops of Alfalfa Pellets, and a large scoop of senior grain. Dr. Leeann started her on acupuncture every week and the weight started to be put back on. Within six months I had her back up to the weight she needed to be. We worried about the winter coming, but she was now strong and handled the winter with no problem. Now looking at her, she looks like a very healthy horse. I want to thank Dr. Leeann for all she did to bring Classy around and back to being healthy and Classy thanks her the most!
