📣Chub Chub has graduated!! Her human has been working with Insight for over two years, and during that time, Chub Chub's treatment plan of management, training and medication has stabilized. Her human had these nice words to share:
"Chub Chub arrived to rescue and into my home within a week from a puppy mill, where she appeared to have had a recent litter. Insightful Animals and their guidance were very instrumental in getting her anxiety under control. It took her many months to gain courage to even cross any threshold or change in ground level. She has shed many of her anxious behaviours and has become a very confident lady!"

🎓Thank you for your trust in us!💜

🎓 Hats off to our latest grad, Cinnamon! After hard work and dedication to the process, Cinnamon's treatment (medication, training & management) is stable and can be taken over by her primary care vet. Here is what Cinnamon's humans shared about their experience with Insight:
"When we adopted Cinnamon, she was your typical puppy who wanted to play with everyone. After about 2 years, we noticed some behaviors such as reactivity and resource guarding coming to the surface. After a pretty scary fight between Cinnamon and our other resident dog, Emma, we knew we needed more advanced help than our local trainers could provide. Dr. K***z and the Insight team listened to all of our concerns and created a treatment plan tailored to Cinnamon's needs. We learned that there is most likely some chronic pain that has influenced Cinnamon's behavior, which was news to us. With the right dosage of medication and a great management/training plan, we are now able to take Cinnamon on walks, where reactions are minimal (or easily recovered) when we see other dogs or wildlife, and to co-exist with her "sister" Emma. They often now chase and wrestle with each other in our yard- living their best lives! Cinnamon is a much happier and more relaxed dog thanks to Insight!"

Thank you for your kind words-- we are grateful to be part of your journey! 💜
