Home adaptations can make all the difference.

During our "Mobility Assessment" we will often discuss free or cheap recommendations that can make an enormous positive impact on our pets with joint conditions, by minimising pain flares and inflammation in and around their affected joints.

Discussing exercise modifications and home adaptations and putting measures in place, can make a huge difference to their health and well-being.

What a Mobility Assessment consists of

Where do we start?

Starting with a "Mobility Assessment" can give you a better understanding at what your pet's current struggles are, and what is available to help them.

This 1 hour long assessment is an ideal opportunity to sit and discuss your concerns, ask questions and we can help you see that a diagnosis of a joint condition such as arthritis, does not mean a life time on pain killers and the end of the road is near...it purely means we need to change direction and find ways to make life easier and more comfortable.

To enquire about arranging a Mobility Assessment contact us via WhatsApp on 07498873068.

September Star Patient of the Month.

Our September "Star ✨ Patient of the Month" goes to Phil.

This very handsome boy is a ⭐ in more ways than one... Phil is an incredibly special dog...he is a dual assistance dog and has many responsibilities to help his owner through the struggles of daily life.

Phil has had a tough few months to say the least with ongoing lameness, compensatory issues and has been through bilateral cruciate surgery at Movement Referrals: Independent Veterinary Specialists.
He has been coming to us prior to surgery and for continued support and Class iv K-Laser therapy to speed up his recovery and reduce pain and discomfort.
We have monitored his progress on our stance analyser as we progressed through his post-op rehabilitation. We have communicated regularly with his GP Vets Wright & Morten Small Animal Vets and sent update reports to his orthopedic surgeon.

Earlier this month Phil got the all clear from his surgeon and was able to return back to Hydrotherapy last week at SK Canine, to continue his rehabilitation to rebuild his muscles and retrain his gait on the underwater treadmill.

Working together as a multi-disciplinary team has never been more important with cases such as Phil to ensure we all work together and support his owners to get the best results.

I am so proud of their hard work between the appointments, helping him through the critical stages of recovery and following his surgeons instructions and continuing his home exercise plan. Even taking him out in his stroller to enable him to gain mental enrichment when he was on restricted exercise.
I have known Phil for many years and their is nothing more heartwarming than seeing his demeanour improve along with his cheeky mischievous nature return. ❤️

For those of you who use Instagram.... Why not continue to follow his journey and show your support. 🙏

Holistic = Treating the body as a whole.

30th August - Today is "National Holistic Pet Day" - a day we celebrate our pets and help them have more fulfilling lives.

Taking a holistic approach...
Meaning to treat as a "whole", encouraging pet owners and Veterinary professionals to look into an integrated wellness approach alongside conventional veterinary medicine.

Evaluating their diet, home environment and lifestyle and offer advice, starting with the basics of good nutrition, physical exercise, and mental stimulation, that could be effecting their long-term health, rather than just the symptoms of the illness or disease.

A holistic approach to well-being is nothing new for humans, but applying this to the lifestyle of our household pets is still a growing trend.

Joint conditions for example: surgery and/or pain management is often required BUT ensuring their nutrition covers everything they need, weight management, reducing compensatory issues with complementary therapies such as laser, massage, physio, acupuncture and Hydrotherapy.
