Can My Dog Avoid IVDD Surgery With Non-Surgical Treatments?

Yes, in many cases your dog can avoid IVDD surgery and instead take the non-surgical route using conservative management methods.

• Cambridge University studied 30 dogs with Stage 5 IVDD.
• Cambridge University used the non-surgical route with these 30 dogs.
