At The Honest Kitchen, we’re proud to partner with local businesses and veterinary practices that align with our mission to help as many pets as possible get on the road to good health, through good food.

One such exceptional practice is Elevate Pet Wellness Center, co-founded by Abby Willms and Dr. Brooke Jacoby. Since opening their doors to the Bend Oregon community in 2022, this integrative pet wellness center has been making a difference in the lives of pets and their people in a truly holistic way.

A Dream of Veterinary Care Rooted in Passion

For Abby and Dr. Jacoby, founding Elevate Pet Wellness Center was about more than providing veterinary care—it was about redefining it. Driven by a shared love of animals and a deep commitment to their health, they envisioned a practice where wellness was the priority and prevention was key. Their passion for integrative care shines through in every aspect of their approach.

Comprehensive, Personalized Care for Every Life Stage

At Elevate Pet Wellness Center, prevention is at the heart of everything they do. The team specializes in creating personalized wellness plans that cater to every stage of a pet's life—from playful puppies and kittens to (their favorite) - senior companions.

Services include:

• Parasite Prevention: Protecting pets from intestinal parasites, fleas, ticks, and heartworm disease.
• Vaccination Plans: Tailored to each pet’s lifestyle and life stage, ensuring they only receive what they truly need.
• Nutrition Guidance: The cornerstone of health, with expert advice on feeding whole-food diets like The Honest Kitchen, for optimal well-being.
• Titer Testing: A blood test to determine antibody levels for core vaccines, helping avoid unnecessary boosters.
• Supplements: Supporting growth, development, and the management of specific conditions.
• Behavioral Health Strategies: Tackling common behavior concerns to improve the human-animal bond.

An Elevated Vision for Veterinary Wellness

What sets Elevate Pet Wellness Center apart is their commitment to a modern whole-health perspective. Patients receive cutting-edge medical care that combines the best of Eastern and Western practices for optimal pet health, in a comfortable, collaborative environment, where the team’s compassion and dedication are evident in every interaction.

Just some parts of the practice that make them unique are the physical therapy and rehabilitation services to support pets recovering from injury or surgery or those managing chronic conditions. These include:

• Hydrotherapy: Safe, low-impact exercise for pets of all ages.
• Therapeutic Exercises: Enhancing strength, balance, and flexibility.
• TENS and NMES Therapy: Pain relief and muscle rehabilitation using gentle electrical stimulation.
• Assisi Loop: FDA-approved, non-pharmaceutical pain and inflammation management.

The practice is also proud to have Dr. Stephanie Sheen on staff who, after witnessing the limitations of conventional medicine for older pets, pursued additional certifications in hospice care, rehabilitation therapy, and acupuncture.

Partnering with The Honest Kitchen

Elevate Pet Wellness Center believes that nutrition is the foundation of health, which is why they proudly recommend and offer The Honest Kitchen products to their clients. These human-grade, high quality, whole-food options align perfectly with the practice’s philosophy of using food as medicine.

When asked about their favorites, the team highlights the versatility of The Honest Kitchen’s dehydrated recipes. These options provide pet parents with an easy and nutritious way to feed their furry companions while addressing individual health needs such as allergies or digestive issues. 

The current staff picks are Dehydrated Gourmet Grains Chicken & Duck, Whole Grain Veggie & Fruit Dehydrated Base Mix, and Dehydrated Grain Free Beef. The practice is also excited to offer Perfect Form Herbal Digestive Supplement to clients!
