Animal Chiropractic

Animal Chiropractic

Did you know that your furry companions need Chiropractic care too? Whether for maintenance care, or for correctional ailments, animals need adjustments too. Dr. Holzworth works on animals of all shapes, species and sizes, including dogs, cats, horses and pocket pets.

California Code of Regulations as defined by title 16, section 2038, in synopsis states that veterinary referral and direct oversight is needed for care of these animals by a certified animal Chiropractor. For questions about getting veterinary referral to get your animal into Dr. Holzworth feel free to call, text or email our office and we would be more than happy to guide you through the process. Before bringing your animal in to Holzworth Chiropractic a veterinary referral form must be signed and brought in along with your recent medical records from your veterinarian. See the attached Veterinary referral form on this pages documents section.
