A veterinarian holistically treats animals after other vets have given up on them.

Critics Consensus

More than just a must-watch for pooch people, The Dog Doc offers a thought-provoking look at alternatives for the healthcare industry's approach to medicine.

Richard Whittaker

Austin Chronicle

A must-watch for animal lovers with a strong stomach (there is some pretty graphic surgical footage) and a stronger heart (because no one likes to see an animal suffering), The Dog Doc isn't always going to convince everyone.

Rated: 3/5

It's very rich with information. It's compelling -- he's very empathetic.

It's the cinematic preservation of a hope-filled legacy begat by a rebel who sought to give humanity the gift of extra time with their furry, four-legged joy factories.

The film seems intent on painting vaccines as a major bugbear, returning to the topic over and over in order to blame vaccinations for animals' suffering.

Rated: 1.5/5

Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

Described by some as a miracle worker and by others as a quack, Dr. Goldstein is known as a pioneer of integrative veterinary medicine. This focused, detailed, and artfully assembled documentary makes an earnest effort to tell us why.

The movie is a testament that dogs and other pets are treated like members of a family.

It is about time for the "strictly traditional" veterinarians to give up their professional arrogance and for the "strictly alternative" folks to realize that you can't do without traditional medicine. This movie is about a vet who combines both worlds - that's why this is called the "integrative" approach. A must-see documentary for dog and cat guardians who want to do better for their pets' health - as well as for their own.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Given that the veterinarian in the movie makes terrible medical decisions and puts animals' health on the line, this movie is disgusting. A veterinarian cringes at this movie the same way a car expert cringes at a car crusher.
