George
HISTORY: To date, we have experienced three hydrotherapy visits with our 11-year-old German Shorthair Pointer “George”.

Gabe
Dear Sheila I can’t thank you enough for work you have done with my 12 year-old greyhound Gabe. When we first met you, Gabe was suffering from lower back nerve problems and arthritis, affecting his ability to get up, walk and go up and down stairs. After working with you I was thrilled to see […]

After three knee surgeries, Axle’s life force and muscle tone had atrophied alarmingly. He didn’t have much energy, was clearly depressed and the vet thought maybe one more surgery would do the trick. I decided not to have another surgery done as the chance of much success was limited. I knew he needed exercise to […]

We started taking Annie for acupuncture and chiropractic treatments as well as giving her herbs and supplements. She got somewhat better […]
