I am excited to offer Infra Red Thermal Imaging for injury identification in horses, dogs and people. My practice is the only certified Thermal Imaging Center in South Florida.

This summer I completed my certification from the Infraspection Institute, the requisite training course for the EquineIR, a specialized Infra Red Veterinary Training Procedure.

Jean-Pierre Hourdebaigt is happy to announce the launching of his new website Animal Awareness, where he promotes “Home Care” for animals. This site offers a large Free Library of articles and a library of Hi-definition mini-video to provide the animal owners the visual guidance on how they can assist their loved animals in between massage sessions, or physical therapy, provided by licensed professionals. Hourdebaigt felt that for the owner to provide daily care and attention to their aging or recovering animal, as well as younger animal in training, it will encourage the natural healing capacity of the animal and speed-up the healing process. Furthermore, daily home-care will strengthen the bond between owner and animal.
