The practitioner is also qualified to carry out chiropractic treatments on other animals, particularly dogs. A similar treatment approach is taken to that of the horse where the relevant chiropractic adjustments used being much gentler.

Working dogs and performance dogs in particular have extra strains put on their physical systems. For instance racing greyhounds are subject to particular hazards. Constantly running around tracks in one direction is just one of the stresses on their musculoskeletal systems; they can also bump into each other while racing causing quite serious knocks in the process.

Increasingly, Veterinary Surgeons are happy to refer their clients to suitably qualified practitioners when they feel that chiropractic would benefit the animal.
