    “Pain makes us more likely to be overwhelmed and less likely to accept challenges with grace. We didn’t know if he was in pain, but it sure makes a difference when he is comfortable!”

  • Kiva - dancing dog

    “My dogs and I have engaged in a variety of dog sports over the years. If only I'd known then what I know now about proper warmup and conditioning and how to detect signs of pain, we could have prevented a lot of injuries. I'm grateful for Dr. Bartling's individualized approach, including conditioning exercises owners can easily learn to do themselves as well as for supplements and therapies that are helping me keep my dogs comfortable and happy into old age.” - Jessica
