This is what IVDD can look like when it's progressed. 💔

Dragging feet, an arched back, struggling to walk: these are signs no pet parent wants to see.

If you suspect your dog has IVDD, we’ve created a quiz to help you spot early signs of pain. Early prevention, when possible, is key.

Comment QUIZ and we'll send it right to your DMs.

Benny came in with a limp, and what we found tells a bigger story.

We adjusted his upper back and his right shoulder.
When two connected areas like this are both restricted, it's often a sign that one has been compensating for the other so much over time, that now both have an issue (unless there was a clear injury).

Severus is a german shepherd that gets anxious with storms & loud noises. Chiropractic care has helped him regulate his nervous system better and helps him recover after what his mom refers to as “loud sky booms.”

He also is a very active boy and regardless of whether he knows how big he is or not, is always trying to do parkour on their furniture at home. We check all of his joints to make sure nothing shifted during his crazy activities. He has been getting chiropractic care regularly for over 2 years, so we had to celebrate a milestone birthday with him!

A swaying walk is often brushed off as “just how they walk.” 🐶

But in many dogs, especially larger breeds, it can be an early sign that the hips are not functioning properly.
Over time, the body compensates.

The pressure shifts into the spine, lower back, and front legs, which is why these issues tend to worsen gradually instead of all at once.

The earlier hip dysplasia is identified, the more options there are to support mobility and long-term comfort.
We are Drs. Paul and Brianna and we are on a mission to help dogs live to 20 years and beyond.

Kallie's journey has been tough, but look at how far she's come. ❤️‍🩹

Kallie is proof that the first option you're given isn't always the only option. After her spinal stroke, her parents were told there wasn't much that could be done, that putting her to sleep was something to consider. They said no, and chose to keep exploring.

Five years later, she's still here, going strong!

Your dog is talking to you, you just have to know what to look for.

A hunched spine. A sideways sit. Random shake-offs when they're not even wet. A flinch near the tail. These signs could be your pup asking for help.
Most pet parents miss these because they look like nothing. But by the time the limp shows up, the issue could have been building for a while.

Comment ESP and we'll send you our free guide to spotting early signs of pain and what each one could mean 💙

This is Smidgen🐶

When her parents first brought her to us, she was 14, hunched, and dragging herself along. Her back legs were giving out. She'd stopped walking on her own. Her parents weren't ready to give up on her, so they came in to see what was possible.

We started with gentle, small adjustments to take pressure off her spine and let her nervous system start communicating with the rest of her body again.
What you're seeing in this video is real footage from her first visit through 8 weeks of care. This is what thorough chiropractic care can do for your pet.

Smidgen reminds us why we do this. There's almost always more that can be done, even when a dog is older, even when it feels like the window has closed.

If you have a senior dog you're worried about, we’re always here to talk. Commend PLAN below and let’s talk about how we can support your pup.

Just because they're young, doesn't mean their body isn't trying to tell you something.

Some signs we see in young pups when something is wrong:

🚩Sitting with one leg kicked out to the side: could mean hip or knee restriction, or your pup avoiding pressure on a sore joint
🚩Pancaking flat on their belly with their back legs splayed (the "frog sit"): could mean hip discomfort or developing hip dysplasia
🚩Hesitating before jumping or avoiding stairs: could mean joint pain or lack of confidence in their body
🚩Yelping when picked up a certain way: could mean spinal compression or tenderness in the area being touched
🚩Excessive licking of the same paw or leg: could mean referred pain from a joint, or a nerve being irritated higher up the spine

As always, prevention is the best medicine. Even if there are no signs of pain, keeping your pup healthy with a good diet, regular check-ins, and consistent activity is the best way to help them live a long, happy life.
