Thank you to all the brave men and women who have sacrificed so much for our country. We also honor all of the animals known to serve in the military from dogs to cats, rats to horses and pigeons to pigs.

Juno here! She's a total gentle giant, but was having some severe anxiety issues😟. Regular medications weren't helping and her mom decided to try something a little different: Acupuncture ☯ and herbal 🌿 therapy. Juno has been doing really well and comes in for regular tune-ups to keep her balanced and feeling chill.

🐾 Chiropractic vs. Spinal Manipulation — What’s the Difference? 🐾

When it comes to keeping the spine aligned and the nervous system functioning its best, both chiropractic care and spinal manipulation share the same foundation: gentle, specific adjustments that help restore normal motion, relieve discomfort, and support whole-body wellness. 🌿

So why do we call it spinal manipulation in animals instead of chiropractic?
💡 Just like the term “Physical Therapy,” the word “Chiropractic” is legally protected for use by licensed Doctors of Chiropractic (DC) treating human patients.

In veterinary medicine, the very same type of treatment is performed by trained and certified professionals—typically veterinarians or doctors of chiropractic who have completed additional animal-specific education and certification. To respect legal scope and professional terminology, we call it “Veterinary Spinal Manipulative Therapy (VSMT)” or “Animal Chiropractic.”

Different words, same purpose:
✨ Restore motion and flexibility
✨ Support the nervous system
✨ Relieve pain and stiffness
✨ Enhance your pet’s comfort and performance

No matter what we call it, the goal is the same — helping your pets move, feel, and live better. ❤️🐕🐈

🌿 Physical Therapy vs. Rehabilitation — What’s the Difference? 🌿

When it comes to helping patients move, heal, and feel better — Physical Therapy and Animal Rehabilitation share the same heart and goals:
✨ Relieve pain
✨ Restore or maintain mobility and strength
✨ Prevent future injury
✨ Improve overall comfort and quality of life

Both require a detailed evaluation, hands-on treatment, and collaboration with other healthcare professionals to support each patient’s unique needs.

💡 So why don’t we call it Physical Therapy for pets?
The term “Physical Therapy” is legally protected for use by licensed human physical therapists. In veterinary medicine, we use “Animal Rehabilitation” or “Veterinary Physical Rehabilitation” to describe similar therapies designed specifically for our furry family members.

While the terminology differs, the dedication to healing and comfort remains the same. ❤️🐾

Booker is a rockstar!✨ I wanted to share his story to show how much assistive devices like wheelchairs can increase quality of life for kiddos with severe mobility issues. He has been diagnosed with the progressive neurodegenerative disorder called degenerative myelopathy. He's already beaten the odds and is loving getting around (and causing trouble 🤣) in his wheelchair.

Somewhere over the rainbow, our pets wait for us. Today we remember them with love, gratitude, and healing hearts. 🌈🐾
Feel free to share pictures, stories and memorials of your beloved.

We had a very special guest at the clinic a couple of days ago! This is a nighthawk. It's actually not a hawk at all and is in the night jar family, a cousin of the owl. They're absolutely one of my favorite species of bird! And unfortunately their numbers have been plummeting across North America in the last few decades.

I found her in the morning injured on the side of the road. She had some neurological signs but no broken bones. After some rest and nursing she was able to fly off on her own in less than 48 hours. Oftentimes when you find an injured bird, they just need a dark place, quiet and warmth. And of course contact your local wildlife rehabilitationist.

Did you know that studies have shown that petting your cat increases food consumption. So if you have a cat like Salem here who is elderly and not eating well, simply petting him can increase the amount of food that he consumes. Give it a try! (You'll see me lifting his food bowl here because sometimes he likes it. Apparently not today LOL). If you crank up the volume, you'll hear his beautiful motor.
