The practice is centrally located in Schnaittach, and free parking is available. There's no rushed, impersonal service here; instead, the focus is on individual, thorough examination, diagnosis, and treatment of your animal by a qualified veterinarian! They offer walk-in appointments and consultations with or without prior arrangement. A veterinarian is on call for emergencies at night, on Sundays, and on public holidays. House calls are also available. During my last visit, all my questions were answered. The team is very friendly. The veterinarian is very calm around the animals and doesn't force anything. The best part is the treat the animals receive right after their appointment. We'll definitely be back! ;-) I've been going here for years and am still thrilled.

Whether horse or dog – never another vet again! A truly fantastic team, friendly, they always call back, and the treatments are superb! So far, we've only needed their help for our horses – quick help with colic, castration, and large open wounds, and we've always received excellent advice. Our dog recently had a tooth extracted, and an abscess on her flank was removed. Once again, first-class advice and explanations, and a great deal of understanding for the owners' anxieties. The stitches were removed today, and the 8cm long wound has healed beautifully. Thank you for your excellent work on our beloved four-legged friends and the great value for money!

A wonderful, down-to-earth veterinarian. The animal's well-being is their top priority! As much as necessary, as little as possible! Anyone who understands this will understand this vet and recommend them! Thank you so much for treating my dogs; always competent and professionally perfect! Thanks and best regards, Laura

One star is still too much for this practice! I will never again take an acutely ill animal to this practice! They are really good for routine procedures!!! - but the last visit, after my cat was (at the time, presumably) hit by a car, has left me speechless! Despite pointing out that his abdomen looked different, I was reassured - "everything is okay, maybe his tail is broken." Even my comments about the different feel of his abdomen were ignored. After he received an injection of pain medication, we were sent home and told to come back if his tail got worse. My cat is currently in another practice waiting for surgery after suffering needlessly due to a misdiagnosis!!! My fears were confirmed - !!!also through palpation!!! - and then by X-ray: his abdominal wall was torn. His intestines were protruding, some skin may have died, and drainage is necessary. Due to the delayed intervention and the late surgery, there is a high probability that my cat will not survive. The surgery will also be more expensive because the bowel may now be more severely constricted. I'm now expecting costs between €500 and €1000!

I take my two dogs and my horse to Dr. Faltenbach for treatment, and I can truly say with deep conviction: for me, there is no better veterinarian 😍 No matter what problem I've had there, he has always made the correct diagnosis immediately and known exactly what to do. His confidence and expertise are simply impressive and give me, as a pet owner, an incredibly good feeling. I have complete trust in his assessments because he has always proven to be absolutely right. Both my dogs and my horse are treated calmly, patiently, and with great empathy. He takes his time, listens carefully, explains everything clearly, and addresses each animal and owner individually. You can immediately tell that a wealth of experience, knowledge, and genuine passion for animals come together here. I particularly appreciate his honest and direct manner as well as his enormous competence – nothing is done unnecessarily, but rather exactly what is sensible and right. Especially in more difficult situations, I feel 100% safe and in the best possible hands. The drive is quite long for me, but I gladly make every kilometer because I know my animals receive the best possible care there. For me, it's worth the trip every single time. I'm more than satisfied, incredibly grateful for the wonderful care, and can wholeheartedly recommend it to every pet owner – whether dog or horse ❤️
