In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Laurie McCauley to explore the world of canine rehabilitation, mobility, and overall wellness. From underwater treadmills to chiropractic care, Dr. McCauley shares her experience working with dogs across a wide range of conditions and lifestyles.
 
We dive into the differences between rehab techniques like swimming vs. underwater treadmills, and when each approach makes the most sense. The conversation also gets into everyday challenges dog owners face - like nail trimming and helping anxious dogs relax — with practical insights you can actually use at home.
 
Along the way, Dr. McCauley breaks down how different therapies can impact a dog’s quality of life, why some treatments work better for certain dogs than others, and what she’s learned from years of hands-on experience in the field.
 
If you’re looking to better understand how to support your dog’s movement, reduce stress, and improve their overall well-being, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.
