Something I’ve noticed a lot recently is how many animals are walking around with completely abnormal gaits and nothing is being done about it! My curiosity was peaked while watching a dog show, and it seemed several of the “top dogs” were entirely off balance, some to the point of actually being lame, yet they […]
Every now and again you may think to yourself that you could really use a break…Perhaps this thought crosses your mind after you’ve completed your fourth thirty minute play session and gone on three walks, yet your pup is still going like the energizer bunny. It’s a fairly common issue many dog owners have, especially […]
No, not Detroit, we are talking about VITAMIN D! Ever wondered why your dogs nose changes color in the colder months? Or maybe you hadn’t even noticed this happening…not every animal will experience a fading in his or her nose color but it is not uncommon. Just the other day I was looking at my […]
Normally I like to write about things that don’t necessarily directly pertain to chiropractic, however, this post will be a bit different. Lately I’ve had multiple patients come to me struggling with incontinence issues. These are animals of all types, ages, and environments. Some have had problems for years, others have had them for only […]
A common problem I’ve come across as of late seems to be fussy cats. Cats that have been around for at least a decade, eating the same food for their entire lives, all of a sudden want nothing to do with their regimen and simply demand something different. Now one might think that a cat […]

Now I know what you may be thinking, it’s a bit farfetched to expect an oil to do anything outside of cooking and being well, oily, and you couldn’t be more wrong. Essential oils deserve a category for themselves when it comes to alternative […]
During these winter months we do everything in our power to avoid slip and falls on the ice. We get up early to plow the driveway (whether by shovel or blower) so we can go about our day. Sometimes if it’s sunny enough we get lucky and that snow starts to melt, problems happen when […]
Being in the Michigan area we all know how cold it can get during the winter, so we bundle up. Did you ever think how important it is to bundle up your animal too? All those coats, sweaters, and boots aren’t just to be fashionable, they actually serve a serious purpose! Animals can experience frostbite […]
One thing I’ve learned this winter is that our own pets get colds and flus no different than their owners. I know this because my poor little man, Mowgli, came home from a weekend at the kennel with a productive cough, stuffy nose, fever, and bloodshot eyes. Of course I was incredibly worried, and after […]
