One of the worst things Chloe’s parents could imagine happened while they were away on vacation: they got the call that their sweet girl had suddenly become paralyzed. 😫

Thankfully, they had amazing family and neighbors who were able to bring Chloe to Haven Animal Chiropractic right away, so she could begin her healing journey even before her parents got home.

Disc-related injuries can be incredibly scary for families. Chiropractic care helps restore proper motion in the spine, improve communication between the brain and body, and support the body’s natural ability to heal.

When animals come in unable to walk, they often have very little feeling in their feet, poor proprioception (awareness of where their feet are in space), and sometimes limited bowel or bladder control.
With consistent chiropractic care, the first improvements we typically see are the return of feeling and foot awareness. Next comes the ability to move the legs, followed by strengthening and rebuilding coordination.

Muscle strengthening 💪 is crucial for getting back to walking and running again, so targeted rehab exercises at home always play a big role in recovery.

Every case is different, but progress like this shows how much the body is capable of when we support its natural healing pathways 🌿 I'm grateful to be part of Chloe’s journey!

Watch Daisy Get Adjusted!

Everyone is always amazed at how quick, gentle, and easy adjustments are for dogs! There's no twisting or popping involved, and most dogs enjoy getting adjusted.

It's such a joy for me getting to care for Daisy who has been with me every step of the way through chiropractic school and animal chiropractic training. She's taught me SO MUCH about what chiropractic care can help with and how to be patient with the healing process ❤️

All adjustments shown are performed by a certified animal chiropractor. Chiropractic care should only be done by trained professionals — never attempt this at home. 🐾

Disc Injuries 😫

IVDD (intervertebral disc disease) is unfortunately incredibly common in our 4-legged friends. Almost daily I get a call or text from a pet parent asking if chiropractic care is right for their dog or cat.

Signs your pet may show if they have a disc injury include:
‼️panting
‼️pacing/moving slowly
‼️yelping with movement/when picked up
‼️hiding from the rest of the family
‼️holding their head low
‼️loss of bowel/bladder control
‼️paralysis of front legs, back legs, or both

Luckily chiropractic is EXTREMELY effective for disc injuries! Animal's bodies are very capable of healing that disc when motion is restored to the joints surrounding it with gentle adjustments.

What questions do you have about disc injuries and chiropractic?

Your Dog’s Diet Matters 🐾
What we feed our pets plays a huge role in their overall health, energy, and longevity! Choosing the right diet can feel overwhelming with all the options out there, but here are my top tips to make it easier:

🌿 Read the ingredient labels — look for real, recognizable ingredients and avoid unnecessary fillers.
📚 Do your own research — every dog is unique, and it’s worth taking the time to understand what you’re feeding.
🥩 Ensure meals are complete and balanced — dogs need a full range of nutrients for optimal health.

A healthy diet supports a healthy spine, joints, and nervous system — which means better movement and quality of life!

Note: I’m not a veterinarian, and this post is for general information only. Always consult your vet when choosing or changing your dog’s diet, especially if your pup has specific health concerns.

Meet Zoey!

Here is Zoey's story in her mom's words:

"Doctor Kari has been a life changer for my little Zoey. She could not walk and after the first visit she was walking on her little paws instead of knuckling (walking on her knuckles). After 3 visits she was back to being her normal playful self. And she is no longer falling down after a few steps. Thank you so much Dr. Kari for getting my bestest little friend up and walking again. You are a God send."

Families like this one are why I do what I do 💙 Help me help more families by telling someone about chiropractic for dogs and cats today!
