Animal : How We Can Help
|
|
Equine, Canine and Feline Chiropractic
Commonly chiropractors who have been trained to treat animals will be dealing with horses, dogs and cats but, in theory, any four-legged animal should be treatable.
Animals are exposed to many stresses that can lead to injury.
The following are just a few examples. With horses it could be travelling, riding, jumping, saddles, bridles, dentistry, harnesses, shoeing, clipping. With dogs it could be Agility, Obedience, clipping, showing, collars and leads, jumping, general play etc. Cats are often involved in rough-and-tumble or territorial arguments.
Do you require a HOME VISIT for any reason? Especially in adverse weather conditions.
