💧 "Where does the water come from?" 💧

This is a question I get from almost every new client—and fair enough, it’s not something you see every day!

The treadmill fills from the bottom up, which surprises people. I use water from a 2500L insulated tank outside. The tank helps keep the water warm, so your pets stay comfy during their session.

🔹 I have a 2500L insulated water tank located outside. This tank not only provides the water but also helps keep it at a comfortable, warm temperature for your pets.
🔹 The water passes through a large sand filter for thorough cleaning while it fills the treadmill.
🔹 After each session, the water is drained, filtered again, and treated with chlorine and other sanitisers to ensure it’s clean for every use.

If you have any more questions about the treadmill, the water—or anything else—pop them in the comments. I’m happy to explain how it all works! 🐶🐾

💚Pippa has been a regular at Pawsitive Healing since early 2023, and she’s making incredible strides—literally!
Recently, we introduced her to walking backwards in the underwater treadmill. 🌊 This exercise is great for strengthening her gluteal and abdominal muscles, improving her whole-body awareness, to managing her condition.

Getting her started took teamwork and communication—not just between me and Pippa’s human, but with Pippa herself! We quickly discovered that verbal encouragement worked better than treats, which distracted her from the task 🙌 Thankfully, Pippa loves a bit of praise 😊

This video shows her first attempt. We started slow, and it didn’t take long for her to figure out what we were asking her to do.

We’re all so proud of you, Pippa! 🌟

🚨 Parvo Virus Outbreak Alert: What You Need to Know and How We’re Protecting Your Pets 🚨

Parvovirus is a highly contagious and potentially deadly virus affecting dogs, especially puppies and unvaccinated pets. With the current outbreak in Victoria, it’s more important than ever to take precautions and protect your dog.

Prevention through vaccination is the best way to protect your best friend!

What Is Parvo, and Why Is It Dangerous?
Parvo spreads through direct contact with infected dogs or contaminated surfaces like floors, bowls, and equipment. The virus can survive for months in the environment, making it extremely difficult to eliminate.

Symptoms can appear quickly and escalate fast:
◾ Vomiting
◾ Diarrhea (often bloody)
◾ Lethargy
◾ Loss of appetite

If left untreated, Parvo can lead to severe dehydration, secondary infections, and even death.
Early detection and care are critical.

What We’re Doing at Pawsitive Healing to Keep Your Dog Safe:
At Pawsitive Healing, your pet’s health is our top priority. To combat the risk, we’ve implemented enhanced disease prevention protocols, including:
◾ Stronger-strength F10 disinfectant spray on all surfaces, including floors, equipment and between clients.
◾ Heightened sanitation practices in our Underwater Treadmill and throughout the facility.
◾ Reinforcing stringent cleaning routines to ensure a safe, germ-free environment for all pets.

How You Can Help Protect Your Dog:
As pet parents, you play a vital role in disease prevention. Here’s how you can help:
1️⃣ Keep your dog’s vaccinations up to date. This is the most effective way to prevent Parvo infection.
2️⃣ Monitor for symptoms of illness. If your dog appears even slightly unwell, cancel your appointment and contact your vet immediately.
3️⃣ Practice good hygiene, such as washing your hands after handling other dogs and cleaning your pet’s items regularly.

Let’s work together to protect all our furry family members and ensure their health and happiness. ❤️🐶

Stay safe, everyone!

🚨 Is Your Pet Showing Signs They Might Need Help or Therapy? 🚨

Our pets can’t tell us when they’re in pain, but they do show us in their own ways. 🐶💔 Here are some signs to watch for:

1️⃣ Mobility Changes – Limping, moving slower, or struggling with stairs could mean joint or muscle issues.
2️⃣ Behavioral Shifts – Grumpiness, anxiety, or avoiding touch might signal discomfort or pain.
3️⃣ Difficulty Getting Up or Lying Down – Often a sign of stiffness, especially in older pets.
4️⃣ Reduced Interest in Play – If your usually playful pet seems uninterested in their favourite activities, they may be feeling unwell.
5️⃣ Weight Shifting – Favoring one leg or adjusting their stance to avoid pain is another red flag.

Early intervention can make a huge difference! The right care can bring comfort and mobility to your pet's life. Therapeutic options like Bowen Therapy, hydrotherapy, and red light therapy can be life-changing, easing pain and improving their quality of life. ✨

💬 Together we can help your pet feel their best. Reach out today to see how Pawsitive Healing can support your furry friend’s wellness journey.

🙌Bowen Therapy for Pets: Your Questions Answered!🐾

Curious about Bowen Therapy for your pet? It’s a gentle, holistic approach that promotes healing and relaxation for animals with various conditions.

❓Is Bowen Therapy Right for My Pet?
Bowen Therapy is a gentle, holistic approach that can benefit pets dealing with various conditions, including stiffness, discomfort, and mobility issues. By focusing on specific points in the body, it aims to promote relaxation and healing. I’ll work with you to determine if it’s the right fit for your pet’s specific needs.

📆How Many Sessions Will My Pet Need?
The number of sessions varies based on the individual animal and their condition. Some pets respond well after just one session, while others may need multiple treatments for ongoing issues. During our initial consultation, we can discuss a tailored plan for your pet.

🌟 Can Bowen Therapy Be Combined with Other Treatments?
Absolutely! Bowen Therapy complements other treatments like physiotherapy or hydrotherapy. Together, we’ll create a comprehensive plan for your pet’s well-being.

🌟 Motivation Monday: Vagas' Journey 🌟

When Vagas first came to Pawsitive Healing, she struggled with significant weakness and stiffness in her hind limbs, making walking a real challenge. Despite these difficulties, Vagas never gave up! 💪 With weekly hydrotherapy sessions, we've watched her grow stronger, with noticeable improvements every week.

At first, Vagas would often try to sit down during her sessions when she should have been walking. But lately, we’ve been able to increase her walking time and speed, and her resistance is becoming less frequent. It’s incredible to see how far she’s come! 🐾

Since starting hydrotherapy, the transformation has been nothing short of amazing. While Vagas is often tired after her sessions, her owner reports that within the first couple of days afterwards, her mobility and comfort noticeably improve. She’s now walking with much more ease, has more energy, and is happier at home.

It’s been a rewarding journey, and everyone around her is commenting on how much better she’s doing. With consistent hydrotherapy, we're not only helping relieve pain and improve mobility, but we're also helping Vagas regain her quality of life and enjoy living again. 💖

We’re so proud of Vagas and can’t wait to see her get even stronger and more comfortable with each session.

Common Questions: What is Bowen Therapy? 🙌

Bowen Therapy is a gentle, holistic approach to healing that benefits animals of all shapes and sizes. It involves light, precise movements applied to muscles, tendons, and fascia, stimulating the body’s natural healing process. 🐾

What makes Bowen Therapy unique? It’s non-invasive, making it perfect for pets who are sensitive to touch or experiencing pain. This therapy promotes relaxation, enhances circulation, and can aid in a variety of conditions, including joint pain, muscle tension, and stress-related issues.

At Pawsitive Healing, I utilize Bowen Therapy to support your pet's well-being in a calm, safe environment where they can truly relax.
