Know the Risk. Spread the Word

IVDD affects many dogs, many we love.

Recognizing IVDD early can help families act faster and seek veterinary care sooner.

Share what you know and you could change a life.

Early Action, Better Outcomes

Early diagnosis and treatment give our dogs the best chance to walk again. 

Early care can:

Reduce pain and inflammation.

Increase the chance of recovery.

Protect their ability to walk ... or roll ... before it is gone.

How You Can Advocate

Share Knowledge.

Talk with other dog parents, share resources, and help spread awareness.

Be Their Voice!

Ask questions at vet visits. If something seems wrong, don't wait.

Support Others.

Encourage, listen, and support others navigating IVDD. No one should walk this road alone.

The people you will meet in the community may mostly be online, but they somehow make you feel like you aren't alone anymore. Even if you do not have a dog with IVDD, support will mean more to pet parents than you know.

Use Your Platform.

Post, share, and educate! Your voice can reach further than you know.
