IVDD Care
Expert care for dogs with Intervertebral Disc Disease, from diagnosis through recovery.
About IVDD Care
Intervertebral Disc Disease is a neurological condition where the cushioning discs between your dog's vertebrae either bulge or burst. This can lead to pain, nerve damage, and even paralysis. Breeds like Dachshunds and Basset Hounds are especially prone to this condition due to their unique body structure. At Life Quality Pet Care, we offer compassionate, expert care to help your furry friend through their IVDD journey.
Best For
