AN “animal chiropractor” who filmed himself cracking the joints of cats and dogs has been slammed for putting the pets in “danger”.
Murat Colak took to TikTok to demonstrate the practice that has left several animal lovers enraged.

In multiple clips posted on his channel, Bones Hands Animals, the self-proclaimed “animal osteopath” can be seen massaging dogs, cats, and even horses, before cracking their joints.
In a video that racked up 2.2million views, Murat can be seen holding a pug in his lap as he holds the pup’s neck and locates a spot in its neck with his thumb.
He lowers his head in what seems like an attempt to hear the click once the bone has been cracked.
The pug sits on the man’s lap snorting with its tongue hanging out for around ten seconds, while Murat shakes the pup lightly until he finds the joint.
He then presses firmly onto the spot before twisting the pug’s head until a loud crack is heard and the pooch sits up with a dazed expression on its face.
Murat tells the dog to “breathe” as it looks around the room following the procedure.
In another bizarre clip, he can be seen carrying out the same process on a large horse as he holds its head between his arms.
After a couple of seconds of fiddling around looking for a spot, Murat snaps the pony’s neck before the animal yanks its head away as the man jumps back.
He then demonstrates the chiropractic procedure on another black horse’s neck and another two horses’ legs.
And with viewers left stunned at Murat’s work, his clips have even ended up on the TikTokCringe subreddit where people were left furious at the potential dangers the animals could be in.
One vet said: “Some animal chiros are human chiros. They are a straight-up danger to pets.
“Please do not put your pet at risk for significant injury by taking them to one of these quacks”.
Another wrote: “I did my externship under an orthopedic vet and this chiro stuff is VERY dangerous. Poor dogs”.
A third said: ” I would never take chances with my dog by having someone do this to them. Too easy to paralyze them”.
But not everyone agrees as some of Murat’s 3.5million TikTok followers have come to his defence.
One user commented: “You are so sweet to the animals with how you talk to them. You have a good heart!”
A second added: “One dog was actually smiling”.
