The lovely Sunny and Billy feeling sleepy and enjoying some afternoon sunshine after their treatments this week 😎☀️🐴

Billy had a post treatment 🍌 leftover from my lunch, whereas Sunny had filled himself up on his likit!

🌟 Star patient 🌟

Jasper was referred to me in June 2025. He had experienced a grade 5 spinal cord injury, caused by an L3/4 intervertebral disc extrusion. Prior to surgery he had paralysis of his hind legs and had loss of deep pain sensation. He underwent spinal surgery at the fantastic

The first video is from my assessment of him in June 2025, and he required a sling to walk with due to paresis (weakness caused by nerve injury) to his back legs.

The second video is a review this week, and I was thrilled to see how well he is moving, after months and months of physiotherapy treatment and home exercises completed diligently by his owners.

Dogs with this severity of injury do not always make such a good recovery, and although his movement is not perfect, he is able to get around and still have a good quality of life.

🌟 Canine Physiotherapy 🌟

🔵 Here is little Bruce enjoying some Pulsed Electromagnetic Therapy at the end of his physiotherapy session yesterday, after exercises.

🔵 Bruce was referred from his vet with Patellar Maltracking, a painful condition where the patellar (knee cap) is not tracking well in the trochlear groove of the femur (thigh bone).

🔵 At each appointment, Bruce’s gait is assessed (as can be seen in the video). He slightly adducts the right hind leg under his body still due to weakness in his gluteal and quadriceps muscles, but this is improving.

🔵 Bruce’s owners have been very diligently completing his exercises daily, and he has stopped skipping out on his walks 🙌🏻

Keep your pooches safe in this hot weather 😎☀️🧊

🌡️🔥 HEAT ALERT: 26°C TODAY! 🔥🌡️
Keep your furry friends safe in the heat! ☀️🐾

With temperatures hitting 26°C, it's important to remember: pets feel the heat even more than we do. Here's how to protect them:

🚫 No walkies during midday heat – Stick to early morning or evening.
🚗 Never leave pets in cars – Even with windows down, it’s deadly.
💧 Keep them cool & hydrated – Fresh water and shade are a must.
🐶 Watch for signs of heatstroke – Excessive panting, drooling, or lethargy? Call us immediately.

Let’s make sure this warm day is safe and fun for everyone – paws included! 🐕🐈💚

Fantastic day of CPD for Canine Exercise Prescription at

It’s so important that exercises are right for your dog, both in helping them recover from injury/surgery but also for maintenance and preventative care.

All dogs can benefit from physiotherapy, but especially our older pooches! 🐶
