Top Tip #12
This is a showing “secret” we have only learn’t in the past few year ourselves and so I really want to share with everyone I can. From first hand experience I can’t rate highly enough the benefits your dog to see a chiropractor.
Chiropractors can help with a number of issues often caused by minor injury caused by twisting, falling, or just generally acting like mad dogs! For example, if your dogs movement “Isn’t quite right” then a chiropractor could help.
I would always recomend a McTimoney chiropractor.
Remember: Legally, chiropractors may only work with the permission of your veterinary surgeon; the reality is that often the veterinary surgeon may suggest chiropractic as part of the remedy and in practical terms this may mean working in collaboration with the veterinary team.

Chiropractor: The pacing could be down to comfort for the dog due to damage. If this could be the case, I would strongly recommend going to a Chiropractor. […]
