“Not every chiropractor is certified to work on animals. Over the years, we've been helped immensely by chiropractic care so we decided to take our yellow lab Dawg, hoping for relief from his pain and lameness. Earlier, we had a full checkup at a vet's office ($$$$) and were given pills for pain. It did work over time, but when he hurts, it gets really bad really fast. Dr. Barry assessed Dawg's gait and used a laser to start the treatment. The adjustment was hands-on and fascinating to watch. Dr. Barry was very kind to Dawg and didn't mind the dog hair left in Dawg's wake. Maybe it was my imagination but Dawg's attitude seemed much better after the appointment and he appeared pain-free on the ride home. Before then, he could not put his left leg all the way down and it shivered wildly. We got home, Dawg slept and woke up great! Unlike a lot of chiropractors, Dr. Barry doesn't give you a schedule of when you have to return--he said Dawg may or may not need to come back. Dawg's adjustment was last Tuesday, and he's been like a younger dog since then. Dr. Barry is quirky--aren't we all? For us, it's all about the comfort of our dogs. To see Dawg not hurting is well worth the cost. Just a "call" to a vet's office is about the same amount and it's rare you come away with a cure. We're delighted with Dawg's progress and should he need another adjustment, we'll return.“
