There are hundreds of joint supplements available for dogs, with prices ranging from a few pounds to well over £100.

So how do you know if they're worth buying?

The truth is that joint supplements are optional, the evidence behind different ingredients varies, and they should never be viewed as a replacement for veterinary treatment, prescribed medication or physiotherapy.

If you're considering buying one, it's worth understanding what the research actually says before you spend your money.

In my latest blog, I explore the evidence behind the most common ingredients and explain how supplements fit into a complete approach to managing joint health.

🐶 “Maybe it’s just old age…”
Sometimes it’s more than that.

May is International Arthritis Awareness Month, so I’ve written a new blog about 5 subtle signs your dog could be showing if they’re struggling with arthritis or other aches and pains.

Some of these signs are really easy to miss, and many owners don’t realise their dog may be uncomfortable until symptoms become more obvious.

I’ve also added a handy comfort observation checklist you can download/use to help keep track of symptoms and changes over time. 🐾

Last week, the world lost a true ray of sunshine. Victoria was not only my friend, but an exceptional veterinary physiotherapist whose dedication and compassion touched so many lives — both human and animal.

She worked tirelessly to achieve her degree, pouring her heart into her studies and her calling. Victoria was incredibly knowledgeable, but what truly set her apart was her kindness and unwavering consideration for every animal’s wellbeing. She treated each one with such gentleness, respect, and love. She really was the full package — skilled, dedicated, compassionate, and full of light.

The world lost you far too early, Hun. Your warmth, your laugh, your passion, and your beautiful spirit will stay with me always. Every time I treat an animal, it will be in dedication to you. Your influence will continue through the care I give, inspired by the standard and heart you showed every single day.

I will miss you every day, Vi. Thank you for being such a bright light in my life and in the lives of so many.

Forever in our hearts. 🤍
