🌟 Exciting Webinar Announcement! 🌟

Join our very own Dr. John Harrison on May 20th from 12:00–1:00 PM for an engaging and informative webinar you won’t want to miss! He’ll be co-hosting alongside Ginger Krantz to explore a variety of holistic and integrative healing modalities designed to support the health and well-being of our beloved furry family members. 🐾

Many of you already know Dr. John for his exceptional muscle work and his expertise in Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation (VOM). VOM is a gentle, non-invasive technique that uses a specialized handheld instrument to deliver targeted adjustments along the spine and joints. This helps restore proper nerve communication, improve mobility, reduce discomfort, and support the body’s natural ability to heal—making it a powerful option for pets experiencing pain, stiffness, or mobility challenges.

Whether you’re curious about alternative therapies or looking for ways to enhance your pet’s quality of life, this discussion will offer valuable insights and practical knowledge you can use right away.

📞 Interested in VOM care for your pet? Call Companion Animal Wellness Center to schedule an appointment with a veterinarian and learn if this treatment could benefit your pet.

✨ Save the date and join us for this inspiring conversation dedicated to helping your pets thrive!
