Animal Holistic Care Specialists
At Animal Holistic
Care Specialists, we offer creative, comprehensive services for
owners and veterinarians seeking integrative (holistic) care for
large or small animals. At the clinic, located on Highway 19 between
Sun Prairie and Marshall, you can schedule such therapies as
acupuncture and herbal medicine; chiropractic; nutritional
counseling; massage and reiki (energy healing); light therapy; and
animal communication. We also offer various seminars; intuitive
healing for people; and compassionate euthanasia and grief support
following loss.
What circumstances
bring injured, elderly, anxious, or chronically-ill animals to AHCS?
Dave’s dog, Shep, herniated a disk and couldn’t get up or walk.
His veterinarian recommended an MRI, surgery, and 24-hour care, with
no guarantees. After one chiropractic treatment, Shep could get up,
and after several weeks of treatment, he could walk.
Tanya’s older
Weimariner couldn’t move well, and his legs kept giving out,
because of arthritis and spinal curvature. Acupuncture helped
prevent muscle spasms, decreased pain, and improved his back leg
strength and well-being.
Joyce’s older
Border Collie, Schnee, had bad hips and was obviously in pain when
he walked. With acupuncture, Schnee walked a mile and a half daily,
staying “active to the end.”
Marie’s
10-year-old whippet, Moxie, yelped in pain when her head was turned
for tooth-brushing and couldn’t jump onto a lap or a bed. After a
few chiropractic adjustments, Moxie was “like a puppy.”
Before Joy took
her 15-year-old dog, Bailey, for dental work, she and Bailey met
with an animal communicator from AHCS. In the session, Bailey
indicated pain in a back right tooth. When Bailey’s vet checked,
he found a cracked molar there that needed removal.
If you can’t
imagine your dog or cat tolerating acupuncture needles, don’t think
of your own reaction to a shot! Drs. Dawn Mogilevsky and Lynne
Dennis insert acupuncture needles--thin as a hair--painlessly at
points that, for example, relieve pain and tension, increase energy
and sense of well-being, and support immune function.
Chiropractic and
spinal manipulation use gentle, precise adjustments to correct
mechanical problems, such as joint misalignment and associated muscle
and nerve dysfunction. Drs. Julie Kaufman and Dawn Mogilevsky vary
the degree of pressure they apply, making it appropriate for a kitten
or a cow. If your animal is acting more or less “off,” and is
older, or has had a fall, injury, surgery, or dental procedure,
consider chiropractic.
Dr. Kaufman also
developed, teaches, and practices JointYoga, a system combining key
elements of several holistic disciplines with understandable, gentle,
hands-on procedures. JointYoga, effective for animals and people, is
rooted in the yogic principles of rhythmic, intentional breathing;
mental clarity; stretching; and postural correction. It also uses
elements of acupressure, creative visualization, and massage. Whether
you might use JointYoga on yourself; your pets, farm animals, or
patients; or in shelter/breed rescue work, you’ll find the two-day
certification class eye-opening. Learn more at www.jointyoga.com.

June's Featured Business:
The Dog Haus Dog Daycare, LLC
At The Dog Haus, our motto is
“Play.Sleep.Repeat”. And we have a blast doing just that! Dogs
of all different ages, breeds, sizes, and play styles come to daycare
to get exercise and socialization. Sometimes they even stay the
weekend!
With over 7000 square feet of both
indoor and outdoor playgrounds, one loving play leader for every
10-15 dogs, and playgroups no bigger than 20 dogs, your dog is sure
to go home tired and having learned a little bit more about
constructive and safe play.
Many of our customers bring their dogs
on a regular basis once or twice a week – sometimes as a supplement
to going on walks and visiting the dog park, and sometimes as a
necessity for a well-balanced and happy dog!
Long hours (we are open 6am to 6:30pm
Monday through Friday), play leaders who fill you in on all the
details of your furry friend’s day, and overnight boarding are only
three of the top reasons why customers choose The Dog Haus and stick
with The Dog Haus.
Boarding dogs play in the daycare area
during the day and have a private sleeping area at night. On
Saturdays and Sundays we are open for boarding drop-offs and pick-ups
from 8am to 1pm and again 8pm to 9pm – very convenient for just
about any travel plans you have!
Our amazing play leaders all came to
meet the furry friends we call our own through rescue situations, so
we give all rescue dogs a free day of daycare! We also work with
local rescue groups such as Internet Min Pin Rescue and Shelter From
The Storm to aid in rescue dogs finding wonderful permanent homes.
Training and grooming services are also
available!

May's Featured Business:
Madtown Critter Care, Inc.
MadTown
Critter Care Inc. is a personable, yet professional, in-home pet
sitting service serving the greater Madison area. We want to provide
your pets with the same loving care that you would. With a life time
of experience, we are dedicated and take pride in what we do. Using
positive reinforcement, we treat every pet the same as we would treat
our own. MadTown Critter Care Inc. answers your pet’s problems
while you are away at work, out of town for business, or just
enjoying yourself on vacation.
The
best alternative to kennels, since you don’t have to take
your pet to an unfamiliar environment and pick them up at an
inconvenient time. You know your pet will be well taken care of in
their own home. Pets get nervous and very stressed
out staying in unfamiliar environments, especially cats. This will also minimize your
pet’s exposure to illness. Keep your puppies and kitties at home,
for your piece of mind.
We
provide services to meet you and your pet’s every needs. From pet
sitting and daily walks, to extensive exercise and overnights, we
take pride in going above and beyond expectations. Each visit we pick
up mail, turn off lights and even open and close curtains to just
give your home a more lived in look to discourage mischievous
intruders while you are away. We want you to relax knowing your pets
and home are being well taken care of.
When
starting a pet sitting service, aside from keeping your pet in mind, we wanted to make every pet count. Keeping
your pet’s diet and exercise consistent and uninterrupted is very
important to us. Also, keeping your loved one in his or her own
environment goes along with keeping stress levels down and overall
health up. And just
having fun doing what we know best and meeting new animals.
Contact
us today to schedule a visit at 608-225-3369 or madtowncrittercare@yahoo.com
Each month we will profile a locally owned pet related business. Please support local businesses!
