Heather O'Leary is returning to Hooked On Dogs September 17, noon.- 4 p.m. and on a continuing basis to help care for dogs' chiropractic concerns.

Heather is a 1999 graduate of Cornell Veterinary College.  Because she was looking for alternatives to the traditional Western approach to veterinary medicine, Heather pursued training in animal acupuncture at the Chi Institute, in Ocala, Florida.  Inspired by positive results using acupuncture, she next attended classes at the Healing Oasis Wellness Center, in Sturtevant, Wisconsin, to earn certification in Veterinary Spinal Manipulative Therapy (VSMT), also known as animal chiropractic.  These courses, representing a combined 360 hours of advanced training, provided the educational and scientific basis for her holistic, hands-on approach to animal healing.  Her free time is spent mostly with her two Jack Russell Terriers, with whom she loves to pursue the sport of agility.  This accidental introduction to the world of dog sports has inspired her to expand her practice to the maintenance of performance dogs, as well as to canine companions in need of extra care.

Appointments with Heather are 30 minutes long, beginning at noon.  Please call Hooked On Dogs at 845-758-BARK to secure your time slot and for any other questions you may have.
