About Dr. Josephine

Hello! My name is Dr. Josephine Kubat. My goal and passion is to help animals and humans live healthier, happier lives through improved movement and nervous system function.

Growing up in a small rural town in southern Minnesota, I was surrounded by animals from an early age. I spent much of my childhood caring for dogs, visiting my uncle’s horses, and developing a deep appreciation for the human-animal bond. At age 12, I began working as a grooming technician in my mother’s grooming business, and by age 16, I was employed at a dog boarding and daycare facility where I received extensive training in canine behavior and handling.

I attended the University of Missouri (Mizzou) in Columbia, Missouri, for my undergraduate studies while gaining valuable hands-on animal experience. During this time, I worked at a swine research facility and later joined Woof’s Play & Stay, progressing from groom technician and daycare facilitator to a supervisory role. I also volunteered at a therapeutic riding facility, further expanding my experience with equine care.

After moving to Kansas City to pursue my Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Cleveland University-Kansas City, I transferred to a local Woof’s Play & Stay facility and continued working with animals throughout my education. As my chiropractic studies intensified, I transitioned to KC Dawgz Training Academy, where I assisted with the handling of human-aggressive dogs.

During my final year of chiropractic school, I began advanced training in animal chiropractic at Parker University in Dallas, Texas. Today, I am certified by the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association (AVCA) and am dedicated to helping animals achieve optimal nervous system function and mobility through chiropractic care.

I currently reside in Leavenworth with my two dogs, one cat, and partner. When I’m not caring for patients, I enjoy reading, hiking, training with my dogs, and spending time outdoors. I am grateful to combine my lifelong passion for animals with my chiropractic education and look forward to helping animals live their healthiest, most active lives.
