A great post from Riaflex! 🐾

We have Boswellia Serrata, alongside a range of other Riaflex supplements, available at the Centre.

If you’re not sure what your dog needs, our team would be more than happy to help. Just drop us a message and we’ll be happy to point you in the right direction 💙🐾

Let’s talk about Boswellia.
If you're not using one that states the Boswellic acid content, then it's probably not going to do it's job.

Here's why👇

The active part of Boswellia Serrata is Boswellic acids.

That’s the part that actually does the work.

Standard Boswellia typically contains around 1–2% Boswellic acids. This is why most brands simply list “Boswellia” on the label.

It's vital to understand that if the Boswellic acid percentage isn’t stated, it’s almost always standard grade.

We use a 65% Boswellic acid concentration and clearly tell you on the label.

Why? Because that’s what reduces pain and inflammation.

Concentration matters.

When the right Boswellia is used at the right levels it will help to break the inflammatory cycle and reduce joint related symptoms.

If using Boswellia, always know what the Boswellic Acid content is in your product. Because if you don't....it may just be the difference between it working or not.

🐾Tux🐾

Tux recently came in to see our physio, Olivia, after being referred for osteoarthritis in his hind limbs. Following a thorough assessment, Olivia tailored his treatment to help improve his comfort and mobility.

As part of his session, Tux enjoyed some gentle massage therapy, helping to ease muscle tension and promote relaxation. He certainly made the most of his pampering session and was a wonderful patient throughout! 🐶💙

We look forward to supporting Tux on his journey to staying comfortable, active, and enjoying life to the fullest.

🐾 July is IVDD Awareness Month 🐾

IVDD is a common spinal condition that can cause pain, weakness and even paralysis in dogs. The good news is that, with prompt veterinary treatment and a tailored rehabilitation programme, many dogs make excellent recoveries.

Hydrotherapy can help by:
✅Supporting safe movement with reduced pressure on the spine.
✅Rebuilding strength after injury or crate rest.
✅Improving balance, coordination and confidence.

At The Suddy Dog Rehab Centre, we work closely with vets to provide evidence-based rehabilitation tailored to each dog’s needs.

One of our most inspiring patients, Willow, has made incredible progress following her IVDD diagnosis.

🐾 Dakota🐾

Dakota was recently referred to our hydrotherapy team to support her weight loss journey and help improve her overall fitness and wellbeing.✨

As part of her treatment plan, Dakota has been making great use of the underwater treadmill. This low-impact exercise is an excellent way to increase activity levels, build muscle strength, and improve fitness while reducing stress on the joints.

Dakota has taken to the treadmill brilliantly and is already making positive strides towards her goals. We’re excited to continue supporting her along the way and celebrating her progress. 💙🐶

Why We Don’t Use Dry Treadmills 🐾💦

At The Suddy Dog Rehabilitation Centre, we are often asked why we choose underwater treadmills rather than dry treadmills for both rehabilitation and fitness conditioning.

The answer is simple: we believe dogs can achieve the same and often better fitness benefits with significantly less stress on their joints and bodies.

Whether a dog is recovering from injury, building fitness, improving performance, losing weight, or maintaining mobility, our goal is to strengthen them without unnecessary impact.

Unlike dry treadmills, underwater treadmills use the natural properties of water to create a safer and more effective exercise environment.

Why we prefer underwater treadmills:

✅ Reduced impact on joints through buoyancy

✅ Increased resistance for muscle development without increasing joint loading

✅ Improved cardiovascular fitness

✅ Better support for large breeds and giant breeds

✅ Excellent for sporting and working dogs needing strength and endurance training

✅ Safer weight-loss exercise for overweight dogs

✅ Reduced risk of repetitive impact-related strain

✅ Fully supervised by qualified rehabilitation professionals

For working and sporting dogs, water provides resistance in every direction, meaning muscles work harder while joints experience less concussion. This allows dogs to develop strength, stamina, and conditioning without the repeated impact associated with land-based exercise.

For rehabilitation patients, the benefits are even greater. The buoyancy of water helps support weakened limbs, encourages correct movement patterns, and allows earlier, safer return to exercise following injury or surgery.

As dogs fatigue, movement quality often deteriorates. In any conditioning programme, maintaining good biomechanics is essential. That’s why every session at The Suddy Dog Rehabilitation Centre is carefully monitored and adjusted to the individual dog’s needs by trained professionals.

We’re not interested in making dogs work harder.

We’re interested in helping them work smarter.

Whether your dog is a retired companion, a competitive athlete, a working dog, or recovering from injury, our hydrotherapy treadmill provides a controlled environment to build strength, fitness, and confidence while protecting long-term joint health.

Because every step should make your dog stronger, not wear them down.💙🐾
