Anxious Chihuahua Received Benefits from Alpha-Stim Treatments

Shakira, my adopted beautiful little long-haired Chihuahua and I took a while to learn getting along with other. Shakira has been showing aggressive character indicating she does not want to befriend me. She kept having accidents in the house although she had been trained before I brought her home.

The anxiety this little dog is causing has become too unbearable to tolerate. I wasn’t sure what a message forum was, but I said OK. We both sat down and Shyla’s fingers moved. In a few minutes, we were reading some people’s comments who happened to live in the area. Several people discussed the great details of positive results they got when they brought their pets to Midwest Microcurrent.

The next morning, I called and made an appointment with Dr. Ava Frick at Midwest Microcurrent. When Shakira and I visited the clinic, I found Dr.Frick to be very warm and felt like she had found her calling in working with pets.

We discussed Shakira’s behavior and Dr. Frick asked me if I had ever given any thought to the idea that Shakira was suffering from anxiety. I never thought nor dreamed that pets would feel anxiety while I was worried of my own anxiety.

I told Dr. Frick that I did not like the idea of putting my dog on any sort of canine anti-depressants, and she agreed. She firmly believes on the philosophy of using holistic alternatives in treating pet anxiety or animal depression. Our course of treatment for Shakira included using the Alpha-Stim Stress Control System rather than medication. Within a couple of hours of that first treatment, my dog had already started to calm down.

The drive to Dr. Frick’s clinic takes more than an hour each way, and since Shakira would be needing more treatment, I decided that it would be worth the investment to purchase a home version of the Alpha-Stim. Shakira continues to improve and I found it easy to use. Her modified behavior is now better and we are now best of friends.
