    If a change is sudden, severe or follows an injury, contact your veterinarian first.

    Chiropractic, translated for four legs.

    Animal spines work like ours: when a joint stops moving well, the body compensates — and pain, stiffness and behaviour changes follow. Animal chiropractic finds those restricted segments and restores their motion with gentle, specific adjustments.

    No unnecessary manipulation, no force. Adjustments for animals use far lighter pressure than human care, sized to the animal — a Chihuahua is not adjusted like a Golden Retriever.

    • Gentle, animal-specific techniques — sized to the animal, never forced
    • Works alongside your vet's care, never against it
    • No referral needed — book directly, bring any vet reports you have

    Calm, unhurried, at their pace.

    A pet visit is built around trust. We never rush an anxious animal — the first minutes belong to them.

    Chat & history

    You tell us what changed. Bring vet reports or scans if you have them.

    Gait & posture

    We watch them walk, sit and turn — often the clearest diagnostic we have.

    Gentle adjustment

    Light, specific corrections, sized to their body and temperament.

    Home guidance

    Simple do's and don'ts, and when (or whether) to come back.

    Handled like family. Because they are.

    • Doctor-led careEvery pet is seen by Dr Daniel Tan — the same standard as our human patients.
    • Vet-friendlyWe complement veterinary care and will tell you honestly if a vet visit should come first.
    • No referral neededDogs and cats can be booked directly — no paperwork before the first visit.

    What a pet visit costs.

    The same rule as our human care: you know the number before anything starts.

    What pet parents usually ask.

    Will it hurt my pet?

    No — adjustments for animals use very light, specific pressure. Most pets visibly relax and enjoy them during the session, and many owners are surprised at how calm their usually-nervous dog or cat becomes once the adjustment begins. And if yours tells us they have had enough, we stop. That is the whole rule.

    Do I need a referral from my vet?

    No referral is needed — you can book directly for dogs and cats. If your pet has an existing condition, bring any vet reports or X-rays along; they help us build the full picture.

    My cat hates carriers and strangers. Can this still work?

    Yes. Cat visits are paced entirely around the cat — we let them settle, work in short windows, and stop before stress builds. If a session needs to be shorter, we adapt rather than force it.

    How many sessions will my pet need?

    Many pets show visible change within one to three visits. Chronic or age-related cases may benefit from ongoing maintenance every few weeks. We will be able to advise you more after the first assessment — and if we do not think we can help, we will say so on day one.

    When should I go to the vet instead?

    Suspected fractures, open wounds, fever, or any rapidly worsening condition should go to your vet first. You may reach out to us if you are unsure. Our team will redirect you to a vet the moment something looks outside our scope.

    Ask about your pet first.
