I want to be clear. I am NOT discounting the serious issues we have with dog overpopulation and dog homelessness. I am very grateful to all the dedicated and hardworking people in shelters and rescues.

What I hope for is that we will change the practice of how we sterilize rescue dogs so we can prevent the unnecessary disease, suffering and heartbreak caused by the absence of s*x hormones.

O***y Sparing Spay (OSS) and vasectomy are the procedures that can be done in place of the conventional spay and neuter and based on research, they are safer and prevent a whole array of issues.

This!!!
Please, please, please make sure the person working on your horse has the certifications needed to properly AND legally adjust your horse!!!

I spent this weekend teaching aspiring animal chiropractors how to appropriately adjust animals. These students are spending $8000-$10,000 to become certified in animal chiropractic. This is ON TOP of the $150-350,000 they are spending on chiropractic or vet school.
I have many people ask me if their kids can shadow me as they would like to do what I do. This career is no easy task. To LEGALLY adjust animals you must first attend either vet or chiropractic school (4 years) then you are eligible to take the chiropractic course. The course is an intense 6 months of focusing on anatomy, neurology, palpation, appropriate adjusting technique, and recognizing when a problem is not chiropractic. You must pass multiple tests, including an extremely intimidating AVCA exam. .
Anyone can pretend they know what they are doing, but make sure you research who you are paying to adjust your horses. AVCA certified doctors have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars and countless hours ensuring we are truly helping your animal.
