Simply put, animal chiropractors are trained to look for restricted movement of the joints in the spine and extremities. These joint restrictions can have neurological consequences that cause a variety of symptoms such as pain, mobility struggles, temperament issues, and many other problems. The goal of animal chiropractic is to restore proper motion to the affected joints so that the nervous system and body can function at it’s full potential.

Our goal is to always support your pet’s health and wellness! Our practice members choose to get their furry friends adjusted for a variety of reasons- pain, mobility struggles, gait abnormalities, weakness, injury, and anxiety being the most common. Beyond symptoms, many of our patients see us for preventative or wellness care too! We live by the quote, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” and want to see your pets thrive no matter where they’re at in life.

Due to the state of WI and IL’s rules and regulations, we do require a veterinarian referral in order for your pet to be seen with us. Don’t worry though, we make it as easy as possible on you! Once you submit your intake forms, I’ll send a form over to your primary vet to sign and once that’s sent back to me, we’re good to go! If requested, SOAP notes after every appointment can also be sent to your primary vet.

Due to being a one-woman show, my booking process is entirely online. You can click the “book now” button, choose either the IL or WI location, find a date that works for you, and enter the information asked.

After the appointment is booked, you will be prompted to fill out intake forms. I suggest completing these ASAP as this is what allows me to send your vet referral. Once I receive the referral, I will text you a confirmation and let you know that we are set for your appointment!

A new patient appointment takes approximately 40-45 minutes. Follow up appointments will take roughly 10-15 minutes.

This is completely dependent on your pet, their symptoms, their age, their goals, and their lifestyle! If your pet is in an acute flare-up, they may need to be seen more often. If your pet is doing great in between adjustments and is needing more wellness or maintenance care, most people find that every 4-6 weeks is ideal! We will always discuss our recommendations with you at every visit.

At Nose to Tail, we know that taking good care of your pet can get expensive! This is why we are always transparent with pricing and have options available.

A new patient appointment or re-activation appointment (if your pet hasn’t been seen by us in 6 months) is $130 and includes a history, exam, report of findings, and first adjustment (if indicated).

Follow up visits are $70 if you choose to pay each time you come. We also offer packages, which provides a discount if you want to buy a group of adjustments. Packages can be used for all family members if you have more than one pet wishing to be seen and they have no expiration date. Package pricing is listed below:

-3 adjustments- $201

-6 adjustments- $378

-12 adjustments- $708

-24 adjustments- $1320

We also offer a 10% discount for all services paid in cash.

We see small animals, mainly cats and dogs, at our office. By special request, we can see other animals, so just ask! If we can’t see your pet, we can refer you to someone who can. We have many amazing large animal chiropractors in our area!

X-rays are not necessary for most patients but are helpful when available. If there is a severe condition or injury, or my exam reveals something I’m not comfortable with, I will refer you to your primary vet to rule out fractures, dislocations, tears, or cancer. If you do have X-rays of your pet, please email them to me prior to the appointment.

Due to being a small business that is only providing services 10 hours a week, we enforce a strict cancellation policy to ensure all of our patients can be seen. If an appointment is not cancelled with at least 48 hours notice, a fee of 50% of the booked appointment will be charged. In the event of a no-call-no-show, 100% of the booked appointment will be charged. Thank you for understanding!
