It’s nearly the shortest day but it’s not so bad when the sun is shining

Older animals get aches and pains just like older humans. Getting regular massage, mobilisations and acupuncture can really help geriatric dogs like Blackie here to stay mobile and comfortable.

The delightful Pat came in for an assessment today after having a run in with a car last month.

It didn’t take long to relax with some treats and massage, and she particularly enjoyed posing on this block when it came to going though her home exercise plan!

Here in the Nelson Tasman region we are lucky enough to have lots of bright winter mornings! A dip in temperature can have adverse effects on our pets mobility however, particularly as they get older.

If you are seeing your pet slow down, or not have their usual get up and go, an assessment is a good place to start!

Rehabilitation patients come in all shapes and sizes, and Ajo here (a Central Asian Shepherd Dog) is currently my biggest patient. He is always keen to lie down and relax for his manual therapy and acupuncture treatments!

Giant breed dogs are particularly prone to joint issues and regular visits not only help control any pain, but also manage any compensations elsewhere.

It’s always such a pleasure to work with your canine kids Keen As Dog Training 🥰

Dogs that have lost a leg will have to work hard to compensate. Without strengthening exercises, stretches and massage most will be finding life harder than they let on.

Tui here is starting young. She required surgery to remove one of her back leg as a small puppy, however it’s never too late to get begin!

Also referred to as animal physio, veterinary rehabilitation not only helps you pet recover from surgery but also keeps older pets mobile for longer, speeds up recovery from soft tissues injuries (muscle strains, ligament and tendon damage), and nerve/spinal injures. It can also help prevent injury....
