  • Knowledgeable & informative

    Not only do Cathy & Chris know their stuff after years in the practice & study of animal rehab, but they bring in guests in the top of their fields. So many humans know how to care for their muscular and joint health, but when it comes to their dogs, they are clueless. This pod is great for dog trainers (like me), behaviorists, vets, shelter worker and pet owners alike!
