Lake Tahoe’s Animal Chiropractic Provider🐕 Dr. Amanda Kremer, DC provides Animal Chiropractic services, serving Camas, Washington and Surrounding areas.
Rules that matter:
✔️ Slow and controlled
✔️ Never force or push into pain
✔️ Small, smooth movements work best
✔️ 5–10 reps is enough
PROM isn’t stretching.
It’s keeping joints talking to the brain—so movement stays available as dogs age.

Our first Tahoe winter. 🤍
Snow-covered trails.
Cold noses.
A slower, quieter kind of joy.
Watching these two take it all in reminds me how deeply animals feel change—and how much they rely on us to support them through it.
Grateful for this place. Grateful for this work. Grateful for the beginning of a new chapter❤️

Luigi’s “sit pretty” isn’t just adorable — it’s an incredible test of strength, balance, and spinal stability.
When a dog sits pretty on a step, the challenge increases even more.
🐶Now they need:
• Strong core engagement
• Hip and pelvic stability
• Controlled thoracic extension
• Even weight distribution through the hind limbs
• Excellent proprioception
Most dogs can’t do this without wobbling, shifting, or compensating.
So when Luigi nails it, it tells me a LOT about how well his body is functioning — and how much benefit he gets from regular chiropractic care and proprioception work.
A strong core = better posture, better balance, fewer injuries, and a healthier spine.
A little training goes a long way. 💙🐾
Save this as a reminder to try new balance challenges with your own dog — but always start small and keep it safe.

More about head tilt and poor vision👀🐶

Built-in best friends. 🐾🐾
Some bonds don’t need training.
They just exist.
Two dogs mean shared confidence🐶🐶
More curiosity.
More calm in new places.
They read each other, mirror each other, and move through the world with a little more courage — simply because they’re not alone.

A calm neck adjustment for Alfi 🐶
Slow. Specific. Gentle.
When a dog’s neck isn’t moving well, it can affect posture, balance, and how the whole body compensates.
My job is to find exactly where motion is restricted — and restore it with specific chiropractic adjustments.
His tail wags says it all🥰🐕

Most dogs don’t sit wrong…
They sit compensated.
A proper sit should look like:
• Even weight on both hips
• Knees tucked symmetrically
• Spine upright — not slouched or twisted
If your dog:
→ kicks one leg out
→ collapses to one side
→ avoids sitting altogether
That’s not “just how they sit.”
That’s your dog protecting something.
Pain, stiffness, old injury, or compensation patterns tell the truth long before limping shows up.
Watch the sit🐶
It’s one of the easiest ways to spot a problem early.
If your dog’s sit looks off, it’s worth a closer look.

Dogs are constantly reading us🐶
They look to us for direction, consistency, and reassurance — long before they respond to words or commands.
When we show up calm and clear, they follow. When we don’t, their bodies carry that stress.
The human–animal bond is built on trust, structure, and presence🐾

🐶Alfi’s posture says more than you think.
Most people see a cute dog.
I see compensation patterns in real time.
Alfi has reduced vision on one side, which causes him to tilt his head slightly left to orient his world.
That tiny head tilt creates a full-body chain reaction:
➡️ Increased weight into his left front limb
➡️ Left shoulder + cervical spine picking up extra work
➡️ Shifts in balance, stability, and posture
➡️ And over time, these patterns can snowball into stiffness, fatigue, or uneven wear
This is why posture matters.
This is why subtle changes matter.
And this is why neurologically-focused chiropractic care is so powerful.
When a dog loses clarity in one sense, the body starts guessing. Chiropractic helps clean up those signals — improving proprioception, symmetry, and overall ease of movement.
This can be difficult to detect in an animal that won’t sit still (like Alfi), so a picture is the way to go😃

Animal Chiropractic involves gentle mobilization of the spinal joints and extremities to restore proper biomechanics and nervous system function in your pet. Whether your pet is athletic or geriatric, chiropractic care may help to reduce pain and promote optimal function of the musculoskeletal system.
Animal chiropractors work on all vertebrates; however, dogs, cats, horses, alpacas pigs and cattle are the most common. It is important to have your pet examined by a certified Animal Chiropractor regularly, even when there is nothing obviously wrong.
Much like Chiropractic care for humans, your pets can benefit from Chiropractic adjustments to keep them healthy and well throughout their life. Pet owners in Vancouver Washington, often report seeing increased energy, reduced pain or wagging tails after just a few treatments.
A certified Animal Chiropractor is a Chiropractor or a Veterinarian who has over 200 additional hours of instruction in the safe and effective treatment of animals using specific Chiropractic techniques.
If your pet is showing signs of problems, then Animal Chiropractic may be needed now!
You know your animal better than anyone. A change in behavior or mood is often a symptom that your pet is in pain, and might be caused by a joint that is not moving properly. Sometimes they may experience changes in appetite.

Shaking /tremors in the limbs or the body.

Bowel or bladder control problems.
Changes in behavior, mood, or appetite.
