Does my dog need a veterinary authorization before their first visit?
Yes. Texas law requires a licensed veterinarian to authorize chiropractic care for animals before treatment can begin. We make this process as simple as possible and work directly with your vet's office on your behalf. If you do not have a vet or need help finding one that is familiar with chiropractic care, we can help with that too.
Is dog chiropractic care safe?
Yes. When performed by a certified practitioner (such as AVCA or IVCA certification), animal chiropractic care can be a safe, gentle, and non-invasive treatment option for dogs. Dr. Katie uses precise, low-force techniques appropriate for your dog's specific size, age, and condition.
How often will my dog need to be seen?
Every dog is different. During your first visit Dr. Katie will complete a full evaluation and provide a custom care plan with a recommended visit schedule based on your dog's specific needs and goals.
Do you accept pet insurance?
We will issue pet owners an itemized receipt upon request. Pet owners may submit this to their insurance provider for reimbursement.
We strongly encourage owners to check our insurance guide
How old does my dog need to be to start?
We see dogs at every stage of life. Chiropractic care can be beneficial for puppies developing healthy movement patterns, adult dogs managing injuries or chronic conditions, and senior dogs maintaining mobility and quality of life.
