As a veterinarian and resident of Santa Ana I feel this business would be of great <br />benefit to our city. At least 50% of our population are dog owners and the number one injury is related to knees. An <br />injury that is easily rehabilitated with underwater treadmill therapy and many other modalities this facility can offer. <br />I have had many patients recover and benefit from Lauryn and the staffs hard work and dedication. While this <br />company has been closed I feel that many patients have been suffering and not given the standard of care they <br />deserve. It would be a disservice to the veterinary world to not have Canine Rehabilitation of Orange County as an <br />option for our patients. Not only have I sent many patients to visit for rehab, I have personally witnessed the work <br />done here. The facility was always quiet, no barking as all the animals are relaxed and happy, the cleanliness was <br />unmatched, not once did I see any feces left for longer than 1 minute and any accident was promptly addressed by <br />the support staff. These appointments also last about 2 hrs each. In this time the clients would go visit nearby <br />restaurants and shopping districts. I feel that the influx of patrons would be a positive addition to the businesses <br />surrounding the facility. We need Lauryn and this business in our veterinary world. I strongly urge you to support <br />this quest to enrich the lives of these animals and bring a business that will add so much diversity to our growing <br />and changing city. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />Meredith Adams, DVM
