Where's Arnhem?
I've been asked this a lot this week.
The big guy decided to stay home with personal assistants taking care of his every whim - including taking a dip at when he discovered he wasn't there for hydrotherapy. A road trip like this didn't fit into his surgical recovery plan.

Got to do a bit of shopping on your holidays, so we stopped by the pop up and got some expert help on picking a new harness for the Ninja. The Arctic Wolf fits him perfectly, allowing him a good, and safe, pull πŸ’ͺ

Something that is particularly relevant to Team CC at the moment - Being your dog's advocate in a veterinary setting.

When something feels off - trust that feeling. Speak up. Ask questions. And work with a vet that values your insights.
But remember - respect is part of advocacy too. Your veterinary team are human beings who care deeply and work incredibly hard. Kindness and collaboration go a long way.

Arnhem has developed a number of medical issues in the past couple of years, and his primary veterinary care team at Cedar Vets have been fantastic at working with us to resolve/manage them, or to refer us where needed, most recently to Lumbry Park Veterinary Specialists. Our physical therapy team at The Canine Fitness Centre also form an integral part of our veterinary team, working with both our primary care team, and specialist team to get the best outcome.

Want to dive deeper into how to advocate for your dog and build a strong, respectful partnership with your vet? Check out the full blog here:

As dog owners we wear many hats - caretaker, trainer, best friend, and, perhaps most importantly, advocate. When it comes to your dogs health, you are their voice. That's why advocating for your dog within the veterinary system isn't just important - its essential.At team Curious Canine we have had....

Crates - places of punishment or places of comfort?

I think this picture answers that question. We have brought the crate inside for Arnhems recovery. Everytime Arnhem is out of it - the little Ginger Ninja gets in it!
Door is open, he has multiple other beds and sofas to choose from - he picks the crate πŸ€·β€β™€οΈπŸ₯°

But seriously dude - you have to get out now - the big guy needs his rest!

It's been an eventful, stressful, and tiring week at CC HQ with Arnhem having spinal surgery.

He was diagnosed with DLSS several years ago that has been kept under relative control with the help of The Canine Fitness Centre, but in recent months he developed some new symptoms which didn't match up.
With huge support from our primary care team at Cedar Vets and a referral to a specialist, he was diagnosed with Wobblers Syndrome.

The incredible team at Lumbry Park Veterinary Specialists performed innovative spinal surgery to address this new condition, and I'm pleased to say he's already back home to recover.

This was a team effort all round, and an example of advocating for your dog, and picking the right team to help you (see my next blog!). It's early days of the recovery process, but I'm just so grateful for the care Arnhem has received.

Atlas and John were out hitting the canicross trails last weekend in a fast and technical 5km. It really highlighted the need for solid directional commands!
And as always, the support team was there to make sure Atlas had a warm up, cool down, and welfare check.

Its important to know your dog, know what is their 'normal' and what to look out for - all of which you can learn in one of our First Aid classes (see 'events' page for current dates - more to follow)
