Here’s what some of my clients and colleagues have to say…

Sarek

Our 12 year old lab mix, Sarek, has spinal issues and last Fall he was really struggling. He could hardly walk 300 feet and had to be helped up and down the stairs… we were seriously considering euthanizing him… as his quality of life was no longer there…

Alden came to the house in late October and started Sarek on cold laser therapy as well as stretching and strengthening activities which we could perform in between her visits. Sarek responded extremely well and has improved far beyond our expectations. He is now able to walk one mile at a time with no issues and goes up and down the stairs on his own. His confidence is back and he is fully engaged in life. We’ve had friends over who have commented about how Sarek is acting like a puppy again! We can’t say enough about how much you have helped him (and us)!”

Blackie

Alden Beane is responsible for my sweet dog spending his last few years active and comfortable. She …made his body so much stronger and his movement less painful. I am so grateful to Alden for giving me a few more years with my beloved Blackie.

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Alden Beane. I have known her for several years, both as a client and someone who refers my patients to her business. She has always displayed a high degree of integrity….and her clients (my dogs included) love her.

Paine

Paine and I went to an evaluation and first swim with Alden at True Balance Animal Wellness today. It was AMAZING.

I so appreciated Alden’s respect for Paine, her understanding of his needs and mostly, mostly, the fact that 3 hours after the appointment he was still, so much more present and alive than he had been for months before.

She also provided me with ways I could help his quality of life that were totally doable and manageable with my hectic schedule. There are so many places in my life I that I feel powerless. She, in 2 hours, gave me totally usable, and realistic tools to improve my best friend’s last years. Thank you Alden!!! I have the power!!! Yeah!!

PEANUT

Our beloved senior service dog Peanut went from being afraid of water to swimming on her own. Her mobility and strength has improved so much! We cannot thank Alden enough for her amazing contribution to our beloved Peanut’s recovery and ongoing wellbeing. We are so grateful for True Balance Animal Wellness and cannot recommend Alden more.

EFFIE

Our cattle dog mutt “Effie” is a middle aged athlete, and as a former long distance trail runner, she has put herself through a lot of high impact exercise over thousands of miles. She first started seeing Alden because she was going crazy ( literally!) when she couldn’t get enough exercise waiting for a pulled muscle to heal. She quickly discovered that swimming/ can be totally satisfying and can help her let off steam in an age appropriate/ less injury inducing way. She’s been seeing Alden regularly since. And obviously, the stretching and massage are a wonderful part of her week as well!

JACK

When our dogs, Jack (pictured, age 13) and Molly, had injuries, Alden provided expert and sensitive care. Alden’s compassionate approach is one in which Jack and Molly thrived. For the past 6 years our dogs have enjoyed and anticipate their therapy and exercise swims in this supportive atmosphere.

BUBBA
Bubba has been enjoying swims with Alden since late 2019. He was a then 14.5 year old post CCL and meniscus surgery. I wish we lived closer because I would have him swim weekly rather than twice monthly. After a swim, my 16 year old thinks he’s a 3 year old super dog! We can’t thank Alden enough for helping keep Bubba fit and happy.
