MN Pets Could Get New Line Of Care: Chiropractors

ST. PAUL (AP) ― An attention-getting proposal to open the door to chiropractic care for animals in Minnesota appears headed for approval.
  
The Minnesota House has backed a compromise plan that has also gained the support of the state Senate. It would allow chiropractors to work on animals if they receive training and have received a referral from a veterinarian.
  
The language is in a broader policy bill that will next go before a House-Senate conference committee. Chiropractors and veterinarians were at odds over an initial bill.
  
Veterinarians had expressed concern that chiropractors were not fully trained to spot all types of injuries on an animal. One provision requires chiropractors to post a sign notifying customers that they treat animals.
