I really like Dr. Froeling's practice. She has managed to use vaccine that does not cause my horse, A Patchy, to have reactions. Dr. Froeling works with you and does what is best for your horse. She goes the extra mile and thinks outside the box! She is a terrific problem solver and has excellent rapport with the animal, too. I am so glad to have found her.
