We are happy to travel further to reach you or to see your animals for other services! Mileage is charged at a minimum $50 fee for animals at separate locations. Please discuss your location and day of travel for mileage estimates.

Multiple clients in a single location will receive split mileage (same location), while different locations in a similar region/direction of travel are eligible for reduced mileage based on number of clients for that trip.

For any animals that need a full general wellness exam. This is for animals that owners would like a general overall health exam, or  those that have not seen a provider in the last year that are seeking chiropractic care. If receiving a health examination in addition to chiropractic services, the fee is $55. If animal needs a health exam, but no other services, then the fee is $70, as a brief musculoskeletal examination without chiropractic is still necessary as part of a full wellness evaluation. Completing chiropractic work without an accurate understanding of an animals general health carries risk. If a health risk is found that requires further medical attention prior to safe adjustments, clients will be directed back to a primary care provider.
