The leading organization, in my opinion, that has Veterinarians and Chiropractors that become Animal Chiropractors is the Animal Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA) They have a website with a "Find a Doctor" tab/database: www.animalchiropractic.org
This a good resource for all that are looking for a well trained doctor near them.

That crying baby reminded me of my years of dog grooming. I wouldn’t continue to put a distressed dog under those circumstances, without sedation with sharp instruments. Too many times groomers get angry, and push it, then the dog ends up injured/scared of groomers.
