Butterwick Animal Rehab Clinic

Here at Butterwick Animal Rehab Clinic, we know that your dog isn’t just a pet. In fact, we understand that the word ‘family’ has, for you, come to mean walks in the park, drives on Sundays, unexpected cuddles in the middle of the night, and treats in the afternoon. And maybe even more than that: we know that your lifetime companion has brought to your life a lot more than most people can put into

words… but, we’re going to try: happiness. Happiness is something all dog-owners share; from laughing at guilty looks peeping out from under the kitchen table, to having cuddles on the sofa at night, we all know how our dogs bring light into our lives. And it’s precisely because we know, share, and cherish this happiness, that our team also understands the distress caused by illness, injury, or old-age, felt both by you and your dog. After all, when your best friend suffers, you feel largely helpless to relieve their pain. The frustration at seeing it happen is almost as hurtful as the pain itself. And that is where we come in (along with your vet) to turn things around and help you and your dog get back to doing things you love.

⭐️ Star of the Week – Pugsley ⭐️

This week’s star is the wonderful little Pugsley 🐾

At 5 years old, Pugsley is full of character and energy, but after his owner noticed intermittent lameness in his front left leg, she reached out to us for support with physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, and weight management.

Since starting his journey with us, Pugsley has gone from strength to strength each week. Through regular physio and hydro sessions, and most importantly, the incredible dedication and commitment from his owner, he is making fantastic progress and continues to make us all so proud 💙

His owner’s consistency, hard work, and determination to help Pugsley live a happier, healthier, and more comfortable life truly deserve recognition. Thanks to that commitment, Pugsley is well on his way to enjoying a more normal and active life again.

We absolutely love seeing his confidence grow each week, and we can’t wait to watch him continue to thrive 🌟

Well done Pugsley, and a huge well done to your amazing owner too! 👏🐶

🌟 STAR OF THE WEEK: GINA 🌟

Meet Gina, an absolute legend who's been part of our Butterwick family for 4 years, and what a remarkable journey it's been.

This stunning German Shepherd isn't just any dog. Gina served her country as a working dog in the Army, detecting explosive devices and other substances. She's a true hero who gave her all in service. Even now, when she comes into clinic, you can see that alert, dedicated spirit, it's just who she is.

After years of active duty, Gina deserves the very best care. That's where Cath comes in, an absolutely devoted owner who does everything possible to keep Gina living a pain-free, active life. Together, they've made hydrotherapy a cornerstone of Gina's wellness routine, and we couldn't be more proud of the commitment they both show in every single session with Mark.

Watching Gina move through the water with such grace and purpose reminds us why we do what we do. From military service to thriving in our pool, that's the Butterwick difference. 💚💙

🌟 Star of the Week – Lecter 🌟

A huge congratulations to our gorgeous boy Lecter, who is this week’s ⭐ Star of the Week ⭐
Lecter has been attending physiotherapy and hydrotherapy with us as part of his rehabilitation following surgery for Legg Calvé Perthes Disease affecting his right hind leg. He has already shown lovely range of movement, and we are so pleased with the progress he is making.

Although he is still a little reluctant to fully weight bear on the leg, hydrotherapy is a fantastic way to help rebuild confidence, improve strength, and begin developing muscle in a safe and controlled environment.
Lecter has been an absolute superstar in his sessions, working hard every step of the way. We are all so proud of him and can’t wait to see his continued progress over the coming weeks. 💙

Keep up the amazing work, Lecter! 🐾✨

⭐ Star of the Week: Millie Robertson ⭐

Meet our wonderful Star of the Week, Millie Robertson, a beautiful 4-year-old Sprocker Spaniel who has been winning hearts at the clinic! 🐾

Millie came to us following a left hip replacement (LH). Although her initial recovery was going well, she was still struggling with weight-bearing, particularly after longer walks. Further assessment revealed that the femur wasn’t sitting correctly, and she was also diagnosed with a Grade 2 luxating patella.

After creating a tailored rehabilitation plan, Millie began her journey on our aquatic treadmills, gradually rebuilding strength, stability and confidence in her movement. Thanks to her fantastic progress, she has now graduated to the pool, and she absolutely loves every second of it! 🏊‍♀️

Millie brings so much joy to the clinic. She bounds through the door every visit, greeting the team with the most enthusiastic welcome and a wagging tail that never stops. 💙
We’re so proud of the progress she’s made and can’t wait to see what she achieves next!
Well done, Millie, you’re a superstar! 🌟🐶

🌟 STAR OF THE WEEK 🌟

Meet Bluebell, our gorgeous 9.5-year-old Star of the Week! Bluebell came to us after having bilateral TPLO surgery, and she's been doing so well with us ever since. She absolutely loves visiting the clinic with her bestie, Bramble Marmalade, who was our Star of the Week last week!

She continues to go from strength to strength, and we are so proud of her recovery. Her progress has been brilliant to watch, and she's become such a character around the clinic.

When she finishes her treadmill session, Bluebell loves to watch Bramble in her swim sessions. You'll often find her sitting at the edge of the pool, cheering her mate on - and sometimes offering a bark or two of encouragement! It's the sweetest friendship, and honestly, it makes our day. 💚

Here's to Bluebell's amazing journey and her bond with Bramble!

Drop a 🐾 in the comments to show Bluebell some love!
