One of the most common questions I get from pet owners is: “How does chiropractic care really work for animals?” Usually followed by: “Do pets really need that?”

Which supplements does my dog really need?” Before I tell you what I recommend to my patients, I thought I'd answer a different question: What do I actually give my own dog?

Yesterday was a busy chiropractic day. I love the work I do. I love helping dogs feel better, and I genuinely love their people. But lately, I’ve been carrying a growing sense of frustration—and it feels like it’s getting worse by the week. More and more of the dogs I see are overweight. Yesterday alone, over 10% of the dogs on my schedule were overweight, obese, or even morbidly obese. This isn’t a cosmetic issue. Obesity significantly increases health risks, interferes with

Transitioning to raw is not a race. It’s a process, and when done correctly, it can be smooth, calm, and surprisingly uneventful.
