CAN ANIMAL CHIROPRACTIC HELP MY PET, SPECIFICALLY?
The simple answer is. . . maybe. Every pet I see has their own unique health history and incident for how their issue began. I’ve helped hundreds of pets with “unique stories” and “unique issues.” I would be unable to ascertain the benefits I could provide to your pet, without doing a proper physical exam. Please schedule an appointment as a New Patient by clicking this link. I’ll be able to answer all your questions and properly determine the best course of action. I look forward to meeting you, your pet and helping them regain their health and stay healthy!

NEW PATIENT FORM HELP
Every new pet appointment requires a completed online health form.
There is no way around this.
Dr. Kremer does not offer paper forms to maintain the least impact on the environment.
If you are truly struggling to fill out your online health form for your pet, please contact Dr. Kremer’s assistant and she will kindly help you through it (or do it on your behalf).
She can be reached during business hours at: 360-328-1908
I'M HAVING TROUBLE WITH YOUR ONLINE SCHEDULING.
Don’t worry, if you are experiencing technical difficulties, please call: 360-328-1908. We’re more than happy to help you schedule over the phone.
HOW DO I RESCHEDULE MY APPOINTMENT?
To reschedule an existing appointment, just search your email for your appointment confirmation and within that email is a button to reschedule/cancel.
WHY DON'T I SEE ANY OPEN APPOINTMENT SLOTS TODAY OR FOR A FEW DAYS?
Simply, there aren’t any slots open or available – they have already been claimed. Or, Dr. Kremer is out of the office for a much needed vacation or educational seminars. Dr. Kremer’s online scheduling program is updated INSTANTLY in real-time, and will always show you the earliest appointment slot available. Please check back periodically, as sometimes appointment slots will open due to cancellations. If you have an emergency, please contact Dr. Kremer on the Contact Us page and explain your situation. Dr. Kremer may be able to accommodate.
WHAT ARE YOUR FEES?
All fees are listed when you click to schedule an appointment from the appointment page (top menu).
Please make sure to pay close attention to each option for accurate fee information.
*Please Note: All fees are collected only for the evaluatory portion of your pets’ appointment, which occurs on every visit, and a necessary procedure prior to any spinal manipulation.

CAN ANIMAL CHIROPRACTIC HELP WITH A PINCHED NERVE OR A HERNIATED (SLIPPED) DISC?
Likely, YES! But, more correctly, maybe.
“Pinched nerves” and “slipped discs” (even though both of those slang terms are technically not correct language for this condition), are both excellent candidates for animal chiropractic care under a highly skilled and seasoned animal chiropractor. Keep in mind, the severity of your pet’s condition will be a factor in their results. Generally speaking, we will know if animal chiropractic is helping after the 3rd visit.
Are you wondering whether or not it’s “too early to bring your dog in with an acute disc injury to see Dr. Kremer?”
The simple answer is, schedule your appointment now. Dr. Kremer will be best able to determine the appropriate course of action when seeing your dog. She would have difficulty determining a treatment program based on an email or voicemail. If she feels it’s too early for a chiropractic adjustment to the involved area she will still likely treat the rest of your pet, since those other areas are under immense stress as a result of compensating for the disc injury. This will actually begin helping your pet heal more quickly. Moreover, she will likely provide you with home care instructions, and the appropriate course of action along with next steps.

CAN ANIMAL CHIROPRACTIC HURT MY PET?
Not unlike human healthcare, there are inherent risks associated with all treatments. Although studies haven’t yet been conducted for animal chiropractic (specifically), human chiropractic care, which has been around longer than modern western medicine is well documented to be the safest form of healthcare on the planet. Here’s an article reference for that: Click Here to read it.
With regard to animals, there are many factors which you should consider when choosing you provider.
- Are they registered with the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association?
- Do they work mostly on humans, but occasionally “dabble” with animals or are they full time animal chiropractors?
- How many years of experience do they have?
- Are they looked to, as an expert and authority in the field of animal chiropractic by their peers?
- Do they have testimonials that make you feel comfortable?
You’ll be glad to know Dr. Kremer passes this test with flying colors. She uses hands-only adjusting and practices with a very gentle technique, yet with enough force to achieve a positive result.
WHAT KIND OF ANIMALS DO YOU WORK ON?
Dr. Kremer accepts dogs and cats as patients. By special requests, Dr. Kremer may be available to work on other vertebrates. Please contact her via the Contact Form to inquire.
