    Acupuncture & Chiropractic Medicine:
  • Acupuncture is based on the principle that there are energetic pathways, or channels, throughout the body that influence associated internal organs and structures. Chiropractic care is essential for any organism with a spine to achieve the highest level of health and performance. The spinal cord is the channel for information between the brain and the organs and tissues of the body.

Here's an example of our reviews and testimonies from a customer that frequents our Dog Daycare and Boarding.

This email serves to formally express my gratitude for the services of the Misty Pines Dog Park Co. As you are fully aware, Gwendolyn is the most important component of my life. My heart is rendered with complete happiness with knowledge that whilst at daycare, Gwendolyn socializes in a friendly, clean, beautiful environment. The entire staff – managers, technicians, maintenance, assistants, trainers, and groomers – extends beyond the expected call of duty to provide a euphoric experience where I know that my puggle is well cared for. I firmly believe that Gwendolyn’s happy demeanor is catalyzed by her interaction with the staff through the wonderful array of services offered.

Kindest regards,

     - Nicole
       Mother of Gwendolyn

Therapy Dogs
Sharing Unconditional Love
by Andrea Earnest

Founded in 1976 by Elaine Smith, a registere nurse, Therapy Dogs International (TDI) was formed so that dogs could be certified as volunteer Therapy Dogs. These dogs provide emotional service only,m unlike assistandogs for people with disabilities. TDI prepares dog handlers and their dogs wo woek as a team in hospitals, assisted living hospice, nursing homes, schools, libraries, and community outreach programs and events. Research shows that dogs are very effective in these settings. Interactions with dogs can lower blood pressure, promote relaxation, and relieve stress in patients.

A dog must pass the AKC's Good Citizen Test. Then a dog and its handlers must meet testing requirements for TDI. A number of these dogs provide service in the South Hills.

Ms. Janet Malinsky of Behel Park, has two toy Manchester terriers, which visit Paramount Living at South Hills in Baldwin and Manor Care in Whitehall. Courtney, two years old, has trained at the Misty Pines Dog Park in Wexford since she was 13 weeks old. She has her Therapy Dog International Active Volunteer for 150 visits. Britney, ten months old, is still in training she will take her TDI test on April 28th as dogs must be one year old.

Mr and Mrs. Emil Pohodich, also of Bethel Park, have two dogs that started training as puppies to Keystone Canine Trainign Club in Bethel Park and Misty Pines. Their dogs, Sadie, a Maltese, and Lexi, a toy poodle, have their TDI Remarkable Volunteer Award for doing over 250 Therapy Dog visits. The dogs are also memebers of the Keystone K-9ers, performing in many assisted living/nursing homes in the South Hills area, dancing and doing tricks.

Ms. Janet Malinsky, as well as Emil and Barb Pohodich, find sharing their dogs very rewarding. More information about TDI can be found at www.tdi-dog.org.
