Keeping Bored Dogs Busy (Especially During Crate Rest!) 🐾🧠⁠

If your dog’s recovering from surgery or on strict rest after an injury, keeping their brain busy becomes just as important as letting their body heal.⁠
⁠
That’s where enrichment toys and durable chew options come in.⁠
⁠
✔️ They help prevent boredom and frustration⁠
✔️ Lower stress levels (which supports healing!)⁠
✔️ Provide safe mental stimulation without physical strain⁠
⁠
Some of our go-to options:⁠
🦴 Stuffable toys (fill with wet food, treats, or even freeze for longer engagement)⁠
🧩 Puzzle feeders and LickiMats⁠
🐕 Durable, vet-recommended chews that won’t risk injury⁠
⁠
We’ve got a growing selection of enrichment tools available here in-clinic - come chat with us about what might suit your dog’s recovery stage.⁠

Most Common Injuries We See in Active Dogs 🐕💨⁠

From weekend warriors to working dogs, we see a lot of similar injuries popping up in active pups. Here are some of the most common:⁠
⁠
✔️ Cruciate Ligament Injuries (CCL Tears)⁠
Often caused by sudden stops, turns, or landing wrong after a jump.⁠
⁠
✔️ Soft Tissue Strains & Sprains⁠
Overdoing it at the park, chasing balls, or playing too rough.⁠
⁠
✔️ Hip & Shoulder Injuries⁠
Especially in dogs that love to launch off things or chase hard and fast.⁠
⁠
✔️ Back & Spinal Issues⁠
Jumping in/out of cars, twisting wrong during play, or slippery floors at home.⁠
⁠
✔️ Paw & Pad Injuries⁠
From sharp turns, rough terrain, or overexercising on hard surfaces.⁠
⁠
Why Rehab Matters:⁠
Getting on top of injuries early means faster recovery, less pain, and a stronger, more mobile dog in the long run.⁠

📩 DM us to book an assessment if your dog’s slowing down or showing signs of discomfort.⁠

Did you know… you can now buy your own PEMF bed for your dog? 🐾⚡⁠
We use PEMF therapy (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) in-clinic every day to help dogs with:⁠
⁠
✔️ Arthritis and joint pain⁠
✔️ Muscle recovery⁠
✔️ Inflammation⁠
✔️ Healing after surgery or injury⁠
✔️ Neurological conditions like IVDD or Wobbler Syndrome⁠
⁠
Now you can bring those same benefits home 💙⁠
⁠
These aren’t just regular dog beds… they’re gentle, non-invasive therapy tools designed to help your dog’s cells repair, recharge, and reduce pain — all while they rest.⁠
⁠
Manufactured by Respond Animal Therapeutics, a leader in veterinary PEMF devices for over 40 years, these beds deliver targeted therapy while your dog sleeps or relaxes.⁠
⁠
We offer a range of sizes and cover styles (vinyl, microsuede, and nylon), with rechargeable battery systems and multiple frequency settings built in.⁠
