Why is detoxification necessary? A dog's organs are constantly exposed to substances they must process. These substances enter the body through water, air, food, or medications, and sometimes from pollutants and allergens. Some of these substances remain in the body and accumulate as toxins. This buildup can strain the organs, leading to reduced functionality, which may manifest as issues like changes in stool, allergies, poor skin and coat condition, and more. Even stress can accumulate in the body, potentially causing behavioral changes such as aggression or fear.

Chiropractic is a type of manual therapy aimed at identifying and treating blocked areas in the back and limbs of horses. Through specific adjustments, immobilized segments are treated, pain is alleviated, and receptors in the nervous system are activated. This, in turn, helps stimulate the body’s innate healing powers and improve immunity. The animal feels and moves better, performance improves in sports horses, and older animals with arthritic changes are naturally relieved of pain.

SME is an abbreviation for tail and mane eczema, or summer eczema. This is a condition in horses where intense itching occurs. As the name suggests, horses primarily experience itching on the tail and mane, but it can also appear in other areas such as under the belly and on the head. The itching is caused by bites from Culicoides midges, which are found in wooded and watery areas from April/May. Horses with tail and mane eczema are allergic to the saliva of these midges, which causes severe itching after a bite.
