Coastal Canines

About

This holistic veterinary practice specializes in animal chiropractic care and bodywork services for pets throughout the Keyport area. Dr. Melissa Shaw, a licensed chiropractor with certification in animal chiropractic through the International Veterinary Chiropractic Association, provides non-invasive treatments designed to support the body's natural healing processes. The practice operates on a referral basis and works directly with existing veterinarians to complement traditional veterinary care. The clinic offers targeted chiropractic treatments for three main areas: geriatric animals experiencing age-related discomfort and structural changes, athletic and working dogs needing to maintain flexibility and optimal performance, and general health and wellness support through nervous system function optimization. Pet owners seeking alternative therapeutic approaches for their animals can access these specialized services, though a veterinary referral is required before treatment can begin.
