So, how can chiropractic help your pet?

An ideal complement to veterinary care. Owners generally report to us that they have scheduled an animal chiropractic assessment for wellness or when they have noticed a decrease in performance or modified behaviours.

2 Things to Consider

1. Most of our animals have lifestyles that are very different from what nature intended them to be (smaller yards & fields, car rides, equipment worn etc.).

2. Just like humans, animals deal with stressors each and every day (for example: trauma, quality of food, mental stress).

Correct Movement is balanced, smooth and appears effortless. By watching your pet walk, it helps evaluate the need for chiropractic treatment. Although gait abnormalities are often multifactorial, we can help familiarize ourselves with the way your animal moves so that any changes could be noticed quickly and potentially addressed earlier.

Benefits of Adjustments for Animals

A few common indications, as to when a chiropractor could prove to be a beneficial member of your animal’s healthcare team: Ref: College of Animal Chiropractors (CoAC)

For Small Animals

poor fitting collar
change in ability to manage stairs, jump on furniture or get out of car
sensitive to touch when petted or lifted
suffered an injury from a slip or rough play
pulls on their leash
previous diagnosis such as arthritis
demonstrated a change in eating habits
pre or post-surgical care

That’s where Dr. Hayward comes in.

Animals are often excited to be in our care and look forward to a treat or two!

Should I Bring Anything to the Appointment?

Yes. Please bring whatever will help your pet feel most comfortable, like their favorite treats (even though we’ll also have some if you forget). Please also bring the equipment you would regularly walk your pet with. In addition, relevant veterinary health records. We work closely with your veterinarian for the benefit of your pet.
