Has Your Pet:

Had problems getting up and down?
Competed in athletic events?
Been anesthetized for surgery?
Experienced any reoccurring conditions such as vomiting, respiratory or urinary infections, diarrhea or constipation?
Had seizures or neurological problems?
Had behavioural or mood changes?
Had chronic health problems that do not resolve as expected?

If you answered YES to any of these questions then: Chiropractic can help your pet

Dr. Fleet's Assessment of Your Dog

The initial assessment includes evaluating your pet's prior health state, any history of accidents and intended use (i.e. sporting activities). The exam includes neurological testing, stance and gait analysis, and static and motion palpation.

How Often is Care Required?

That depends on how serious the problem is. In the case of a recent injury or subluxation, a few adjustments may be enough, but follow-up is needed to assure your pet is well. When long term problems reach the point of noticeable discomfort or outward signs, Dr. Fleet may need to do a series of adjustments. Of course, regular, preventative care, is always the best approach.
