Neil Alexander - Vancouver

"My dog has never been happier or healthier since starting with Soul Paws. Actually, I was so hesitant to start because I thought my dog wouldn't like it. Boy was I wrong. It started out weekly, then bi-weekly and now monthly. He looks forward and jumps on his bed, tail wagging the whole way ready for Erin. The difference in his mobility is truly astounding. We were so worried about his hip dysplasia progressing, but instead the opposite has happened and the hip muscles that were borderline atrophied 3 months ago are now getting stronger and we're avoiding surgery! It's a non-invasive way to support his joints! I honestly cannot recommend Erin enough!"
