200,000 miles. 🚚🎉

This truck is the reason integrative care can come to your barn, arena, or driveway instead of making your horse or dog come to a clinic. Here’s to the miles behind us and the barn calls ahead.

Chiropractic, acupuncture, and laser therapy for horses and dogs, serving North Central Texas and South Central Oklahoma. 📍 Book through the link in the bio.

Think a consult is just a quick adjustment? Not quite. 🐴🐕

Before I use a needle, a laser, or an adjusting tool, I go through five steps: history, an exam of the animal as they are today, a Western workup if one is needed, a DAPE (Diagnostic Acupuncture Palpation Exam), and then a plan built around that individual.

Save this for later, and read the full breakdown on the blog: Link through Website

Cooler mornings, changing footing, and different activity routines may reveal mobility concerns.

Watch for stiffness, shorter strides, or reluctance to exercise. Acupuncture, chiropractic care, rehabilitation, or laser therapy may be considered after an evaluation.

10/24/2026

Before your animal’s appointment, write down changes in movement, behavior, comfort, or activity. A short video may also help capture concerns that come and go.

These details can guide the mobility assessment and personalized integrative treatment plan.

Vet Tech Week appreciation: the people who make the work possible. 🐾💙

Vet techs hold the scared ones, catch what the rest of us miss, and still manage to love every single patient after a 12-hour day. If you’ve ever had a tech take great care of your animal, tag them below so they see it.

Hank approves this message. 🐕

What an integrative vet consult actually looks like, minute by minute. 🕐🐾

It’s not a quick adjustment. It’s history, a full exam, a decision on whether your animal needs imaging or bloodwork first, a DAPE (Diagnostic Acupuncture Palpation Exam), and a plan built for that individual horse or dog.

The full breakdown is on the blog. 🔗 https://shalakovetmed.com/what-happens-at-an-integrative-vet-consultation-and-why-it-takes-an-hour/

Hank has been waiting all week for this one. 🐕

New on the blog: what actually happens at an integrative vet consultation, and why mine takes about an hour.

Spoiler: it’s a lot more than a quick adjustment. I look at the full history, evaluate your animal as they are right now, decide whether they need X-rays, ultrasound, or bloodwork first, and then do a DAPE (Diagnostic Acupuncture Palpation Exam) before building a plan around that individual horse or dog.

And if you’ve ever wondered what a vet is doing when she presses along your horse’s body and watches for a reaction, this one answers that too. 🐴

Vet Tech Week starts today, and there’s only one place to begin. 💙

It starts with Layce. At Shalako she is my vet tech, practice manager, receptionist, and assistant, and yes, she’s also my only employee. She answers the phones, runs the schedule, holds the nervous ones, and keeps me organized when I’m not. 😂

Every animal we meet seems to figure out within about thirty seconds that she’s the favorite. I’ve made peace with it.

Shalako runs because of her. Thank you, Layce. 🐾

If a vet tech has made a difference for you or your animals this year, tag them below. Let’s make this week loud. 👇

Between training, travel, competition, and everyday ranch life, performance animals already have a full schedule.

That’s why having veterinary care come to you can be such a game changer.

✅ vaccines
✅ wellness visits
✅ sports evaluations
✅ soundness checks
✅ support for performance dogs and horses

For North Central Texas owners, mobile care means less hauling, less disruption, and more convenience for you and your animals.

Whether they’re working, competing, or just staying active, we’re here to help keep them feeling their best.
