  • Chopper is a mixed bully breed who has been living with arthritis as he gets older. His family brought him to Dr. Doug to get some comfort and get him moving as well as he could. Enjoy this video of Chopper's 2nd session and leave the good boy some encouragement :)

    The leading organization, in my opinion, that has Veterinarians and Chiropractors that become Animal Chiropractors is the Animal Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA) They have a website with a "Find a Doctor" tab/database: www.animalchiropractic.org
    This a good resource for all that are looking for a well trained doctor near them.

    Aww, so sweet! I wonder now if chiropractic could've helped my Furbaby. I had a full Staffie who made it to his 14th birthday, but then I had to make a tough decision. He lost his balance on his hind end which was arthritis, plus losing muscle mass. What really got scary was he started having seizures and couldn't answer or come to me at times. Then he'd get in my face and look so sad at me, like fix me, mom.
    I still miss him so much, but know he's happy and healthy again, waiting with the rest at the rainbow bridge. He was given Librela injections which def helped for three months, and I did massage him often throughout his whole life, still wishing I would've tried chiropractic, also didn't want him hurting anymore.
    Keep up your good work on all the animal kingdom, Doc.

The adjustment was awesome 👏, even the owners were happy 😃 and saw a difference in his walking. Once again Dr Doug to the rescue. Also, we saw a glimpse of, “ How to massage your dog”, it was nice to see Ruby again. Have a nice week doc

    Chop is such a beautiful senior Bully. As we all eventually find out with age and wisdom comes a few aches and pains along with some grouchiness. After your adjustments, Chop seemed to move and walk better, though I did notice when he walked down the hall, his nails were very noisy. I think a spa day and getting his nails clipped would help a great deal with his hip pain. I also very much enjoyed your new video for "How to massage your dog". You have such a soothing voice and healing hands. Have a nice week.
    Thanks, Doc. 🙏🙏💓💓

      Thank you! chiropractic works! It’s possible, as you know athritis is an inflammation of the joint due to immune deficiency or due to metabolic condition. If you work on the joint with chiropractic technics, you’ll get better alignment this will be favorable for better tissue health, nerve function, and less strain on the joints.
