We’ve all seen it. The agility dog that’s a powerhouse on the course but seems a little stiff going up and down the stairs. The family Labrador who, for no clear reason, always chooses to lie on his left side. These aren't problems that show up on a diagnostic test, but they're part of a dog's physical story.

A Note to Our Readers: While the following post is written directly to veterinarians, I believe in complete transparency for all my clients. I've made this public so that you, as a dog owner, can see exactly how I prioritize your dog's safety and respect the crucial relationship you have with your trusted veterinary team. This is my commitment to a safe, collaborative circle of care for your dog.
