Reviews
A very friendly and considerate veterinarian. She acts in the best interests of the animal and finds a good balance between homeopathy and conventional veterinary medicine. She conducts a thorough medical history and plans treatment transparently and comprehensibly, scheduling follow-up appointments by phone to avoid unnecessary transport of the animal. Anyone who is open to homeopathy and is looking for a truly compassionate veterinarian, even for difficult cases, will definitely find the right person here!
Beware of this veterinarian!!! Absolutely not recommended, and even one star is too much. Unfortunately, I can only agree with the negative reviews. After visiting Dr. Schaaff on a recommendation for my dog's main health issues, I received a bill for €152 (examination, Schüssler salts, and osteopathy). The consultation was okay, but the treatment method was rather questionable. A blockage in my dog's lumbar spine was discovered by chance and supposedly resolved, yet I was still expected to return at least once a month. It seems very much, as mentioned in a previous review, that the goal is to keep the animal in the veterinarian's care long-term for treatment and financial gain. My dog could barely walk from the day after the appointment and kept lifting one leg. When I inquired with the vet, she told me to come back again. Of course, I would have had to pay for this again, which I refused to do. Dr. Schaaff then became very snide and arrogant, implying that I had no understanding of osteopathy and that my dog hadn't been calm after the treatment. 152€ for a vet visit is one thing, but then to demand even more money when the dog is worse off after the treatment than before is absolutely outrageous, especially since the vet didn't seem particularly busy. But perhaps that's precisely the reason for such exorbitant bills.
One star is already too good. I took my dog to the vet because she was scratching her snout area. After some tests, it was determined that her coat (not her skin!) was very dry, as she was currently under a lot of stress, which affected her metabolism. We got homeopathic "medication." Treatment cost almost €90 plus €10 for "medication." None of it helped. Then we went to a real vet. In the end, it was a contact allergy. The treatment and medication cost €38. The bowls were replaced, and the problem was solved. Incidentally, Dr. Google also gave me this diagnosis, which probably suggests that this problem isn't unknown, which is why Ms. Schaaff should have figured it out. Even the vet had to grin at Ms. Schaaff's described procedures. The doctor and her assistant had to laugh out loud, especially at the argument that the coat was dry. The problem wasn't the fur, but the skin (only on the muzzle), dear Ms. Schaaff. ;) I wouldn't recommend this lady to anyone who truly loves their pet and doesn't have to spend a lot of money for a little (as was the case with me).
Very unpleasant experience. I first called to ask if she had time. So, as an emergency getting there before she closes - i parked on the reserved parking spots for the vet. 1dog consult before us, dogs comes out with Papa after 15-20min, Dr stays in with mama for another at least 20mins. I got there at 11:01 before noon. At 11:46 i was getting a 30€ parking ticket ON HER RESERVED PARKING SPOTS because i did not put the blue parking measuerer on the window. All she had to say to me was - YOU ARE GETTING A TICKET. This was obviously while still in a long chat with the mother. So obviously i stormed out. This was by far the worse experience i had while visiting a vet. WITH AN EMERGENCY. If we would all treat our patients like she did with us - we wouldn’t have the right to be called DOCTORS. Dr.med.

Where other veterinarians saw no way out, Dr. Schaaff paved a new path to healing for us. I am extremely grateful for her vision and for considering the animal (in this case, my dog) as a whole – physically, emotionally, and mentally. A very clear recommendation from me and Luca.
