Dr. Mary Traverse, D.C., C.A.C Dr. Mary is my chiropractor, who I think the world of. She practices what I fondly call, "The homeopathy of chiropractic," aka Network Chiropractic. This is a technique that is very gentle and subtle, but offers a huge beneficial effect (kind of like the right remedy, you see?). And, she's certified to work on animals, after a year long professional training. So, bring the dog, call her for your horse, and get yourself treated all in the same visit!

Wysong You'd have a hard time finding fault with the foods and treats coming from Dr. Randy Wysong's company in Midland, Michigan. He's been dedicated to great products and sound ideas for many years, and I cut my nutrition teeth on some of his writings. This just may be the "sleeper" food in the pet food world: so good it should be in every pet dish, but many haven't discovered it yet. Lots of cool products in wise packaging to keep the good in and the bad out. And Dream Treats? To die for, I hear from the ones who've tried them. Me, I'd kill for Choc-O-Nuts. Wow, and this is good for me, Doc?
