Customer Reviews
My elderly dog went from comfortably walking 3 miles a day, to rapidly losing strength and mobility in his backend. With no obvious signs of where his discomfort was coming from, and no known incident that caused injury, I reached out to The Animal Cracker. Dr. Dana found the issue immediately within his first session, and brought him some immediate relief. After just his third session, he has regained a significant amount of his strength and mobility in his back end. Aside from what you get during your visit, you are given homework, and many recommendations for simple equipment to hasten your pet’s journey to recovery. One such recommendation was a red light lamp which has many benefits, among them, the reduction of inflammation. Knowing that all my dogs could benefit from this, I bought two to set up over their sleeping area and they LOVE it. I even have to ensure that the two older dogs get the prime real estate directly under the lamps themselves! Do not wait to reach out to this wonderful practice for your, and your pet’s chiropractic needs. They could not be kinder, more informative, or more passionate about what they do.
- Krystyna DWe are beyond thrilled with our visits to the Animal Cracker! Our 5-year-old Golden Retriever, Ruby, was diagnosed with hip dysplasia, and our vet recommended a hip replacement. Instead, we began visiting Dr. Dana. After just six sessions, Ruby showed remarkable improvement, and within five months she was fully recovered. What impressed us most was how Dr. Dana first took the time to befriend Ruby, then treated her with gentle yet highly effective methods. She even recommended simple home treatments, showing us how to apply them ourselves, with no financial gain to her, just genuine care. The hour-long drive to the practice was absolutely worth it. Thanks to Dr. Dana, Ruby is happily walking on all four legs again!
- Katja KDr. Dana is one of a kind!!! We were so worried about the possibility of surgery on our 3 year old dog and after one session he is walking normal and smiling again! And yes I do mean smiling! He is coming back to his old self! She took her time to show me what was wrong and took her time with him. She spoiled him with love and kisses and when we were done he went around the counter to her to tell her thank you for helping him! Thank you Dr Dana for bringing our baby back!!!! Can’t wait to see even more relief for him after our next visit!
- Renee BI was nervous, I have never used any kind of chiropractor so I didn't know what to expect. Pumpkin is a scared rescue dog who takes a long time to warm up to others. I was literally shocked that she took treats from her but also happy because I knew she felt safe. She won't take any kind of treat even from me unless it's at home. I was happy that she found some of her issues and was able to adjust her. I didn't feel rushed and I appreciate the education. I enjoyed the experience and look forward to continuing with Pumpkin's journey.
