I had the pleasure of working with Benson, an adorable 13-week-old Great Dane puppy. His owner has big plans to show him, so they wanted to make sure his body was in perfect alignment to support healthy growth and development. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š

Like most playful pups, Benson had picked up a few little ouchies from roughhousing with his siblings, but we smoothed those out to ensure heโ€™s feeling his best. For giant breeds like Benson, regular bodywork during growth spurts is especially important. It helps prevent those everyday bumps and tumbles from affecting their movement and long-term development.

Benson is now ready to take on the world ~ one big paw at a time! ๐Ÿพ

Zack, the very handsome Samoyed, usually comes in with his whole pack for family treatments; but this time, he had a special solo session all to himself! ๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿฉต
With no girlfriends jostling for attention, Zack soaked up the extra pampering. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

This gorgeous boy has been strutting his stuff at dog shows lately, turning heads with his stunning looks and confidence. To keep him feeling his best, Zack receives monthly Bowen therapy and cold laser treatments, ensuring heโ€™s in top form for the spotlight.

It was a joy to give Zack some one-on-one time and he truly loved being the center of attention! Keep shining, Zack! โœจ

When the Whole Family Comes Along for Support ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’›

Thereโ€™s something so heartwarming about a family of dogs showing up to support one of their own during a treatment session. Thatโ€™s exactly what happened when Charlie, a sweet and dignified older Golden Retriever, brought his entire dog family along to watch as he received his Bowen Therapy, Emmett, and cold laser treatments.

Charlie is a true gentleman whoโ€™s been navigating arthritis and the natural challenges that come with aging. Recently, he faced an extra hurdle, a severe case of Vestibular Disease. For those unfamiliar, Vestibular Disease is like vertigo in humans, causing symptoms such as loss of balance, head tilt, and flickering eye movements. It left Charlie wobbly and unsteady, with a pronounced head tilt.

Using a combination of gentle techniques, weโ€™ve been helping Charlie regain his balance and confidence. I was thrilled to see him for a follow-up recently and witness the incredible progress heโ€™s made. Heโ€™s now much steadier on his feet, walking unaided, and his spirits are brighter. While he still has a slight head tilt, heโ€™s well on his way to feeling like himself again.

Moments like these; seeing improvement in such a brave, resilient soul and the loving support of his family - are what make this work so rewarding. Keep going, Charlie! Youโ€™re amazing, and weโ€™re all cheering for you!

If your furry family member is struggling with arthritis, vestibular issues, or age-related challenges, gentle therapies like these can make a world of difference. Letโ€™s help them feel their best!

When Rolex the Great Dane brings his two girlfriends, you know itโ€™s going to be a fun-filled session!

Bindi, nearly 17 and still running the show, keeps them all in line with her bossy demands for snacks (she takes her treat breaks very seriously). Meanwhile, little Elsie; an adorable little Yoda look-alike watches over the chaos with her mischievous expressions.

And then thereโ€™s Rolex, the gentle giant who snuggles up with his tiny sisters like the best big brother ever. Watching this doggy familyโ€™s antics during their Bowen and cold laser sessions is one of the highlights of my day! โค๏ธ๐Ÿพ

Meet Jeremy the Groodle! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’š

Jeremy was referred to me by his vet for persistent lameness in his front limb. Despite rest and anti-inflammatory medication, his intermittent limp just wasnโ€™t improving.

With his signature big smile, Jeremy began a course of three Bowen therapy and cold laser/red light treatments to address the soft tissue injury causing his discomfort. This is the standard protocol I recommend for most soft tissue injuries, as it allows us to target pain, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

I also suggested a switch to a better-fitting, ergonomic walking harness. Many harnesses might look cute but can restrict movement, put pressure on sensitive areas like the withers, or rub under the arms, potentially exacerbating issues.

Now, Jeremy is completely limp-free and thriving; ready to enjoy life to the fullest with his wagging tail and happy grin! ๐Ÿ˜

If your dog is struggling with lameness, pain, or movement issues, holistic therapies like Bowen therapy can make a world of difference. Reach out to learn how we can help your furry friends feel their best!

Leroy, a speedy 2.5-year-old Whippet, zipped in for some Bowen therapy and cold laser treatment after twisting his back while lure coursing. Itโ€™s no wonder; watching him fly through the air with all four legs off the ground mid-flight is breathtaking, but those twists and turns can sometimes lead to soft tissue strain.

This time, Leroy brought his new brother Gibbs along for moral support. Gibbs was very curious about Leroyโ€™s session, keeping a close eye on the treatment while trying to sneak his way into the action for some pats and cuddles of his own. Itโ€™s clear Gibbs has settled into his new family beautifully, bringing even more joy to their home.

Itโ€™s so nice to see these two sweet boys together ~ Leroy healing up and Gibbs soaking up the love.
Did I mention that I love the Whippet breed! ๐Ÿ˜ป
Whippets may be fast, but their hearts are even bigger than their speed! ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฉต

Little Cuties, French Bulldogs, Louis and Margaux were all attention at their latest maintenance session, and honestly, they had me smiling with their adorable antics. ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ
These two pocket rockets are always on the go; full of energy and charm, whether theyโ€™re playing, exploring, or stealing hearts. ๐Ÿ’ซ

Frenchies can unfortunately be prone to some musculoskeletal issues so their caring mum makes sure theyโ€™re feeling their best by bringing them in for regular Bowen and cold laser treatments. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ
These sessions help address any little bumps or strains they pick up along the way and help keep their bodies in peak condition for their active, social lifestyles.

Itโ€™s such a joy to work with this cheeky duo! Their playful energy and enthusiasm reminds me why I love what I do.
See you both next time, Louis and Margaux; so you can keep up with your busy social calendars!

Meet Toby, a 2-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer with a heart as big as his playful spirit. ๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿฉต
Not long ago, Toby had a frightening encounter when he was hit by a car. Thankfully, he came out of it without major injuries, but he was left with some tightness and soreness, particularly in his shoulder and rear foot.
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
After his first Bowen and cold laser therapy session, Toby experienced what we often see in animals on their healing journey - he had a long, restful sleep and drank plenty of water. These are such positive signs that his body was busy processing the treatments, kickstarting the healing process, and rebalancing itself where it was needed most.
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
By his second session, Toby was showing no signs of soreness and had returned to his happy, bouncy self. Itโ€™s so rewarding to see this sweet boy feeling good again, ready to enjoy life to the fullest! ๐Ÿ’•
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Toby reminds us how resilient animals can be and how gentle therapies like Bowen can support their bodies in healing naturally. Great job, Toby - youโ€™re an absolute star! ๐ŸŒŸ

Meet Elvis, an incredible 10-year-old Labrador who is as brave as he is beautiful. ๐ŸŒŸ

This gorgeous boy has been through so much in his life. Despite facing challenges like eye tumors (resulting in the removal of one eye), arthritis, allergies, cancer, elbow dysplasia, and two cruciate ligament tears that required TPLO surgeries, Elvis continues to radiate strength and sweetness. His resilience is truly inspiring. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

Elvis previously received Bowen therapy where he used to live, and now I have the privilege of continuing his care in his new home. Itโ€™s an honor to support him on his journey, helping to ease his aches and pains and keep him as comfortable and happy as possible.

Elvis is a reminder of how resilient and loving dogs can be, even when life throws them curveballs. Iโ€™m looking forward to building a strong bond with him and helping this special boy live his best life. ๐Ÿ’™

Welcome, Elvisโ€”your new chapter starts here! ๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿฉต

Hereโ€™s Yuri, a 10-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer puppy who normally moves at the speed of light.
But during his recent Bowen therapy session?
Total zen mode once the Bowen kicked in. ๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿฉต
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Yuriโ€™s neck and shoulder muscles are on the mend, and Bowen therapy is helping speed up the process. It works by switching dogs from their โ€œzoomies and chaosโ€ mode (a GSP specialty) to โ€œrest and repair.โ€
The proof is right here in the photo ~ yes, this is the same dog who normally has way too many tabs open at the same time. ๐Ÿ’ป ๐Ÿคฃ

Meet Miss Willow, an 11-year-old Miniature Poodle with an amazing zest for life! ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿฉท

In the past, Miss Willow underwent two cruciate repair surgeries on the same leg, both of which unfortunately failed, leading to infections and the removal of all surgical hardware.
Recently, she injured the cruciate ligament in her opposite leg. After everything she had been through, her loving owner decided not to pursue another surgery. Instead, they sought a more gentle and holistic approach to support her healing journey.

Miss Willow has been receiving soft tissue treatments with us, including Bowen therapy and laser sessions, which she has really enjoyed.
These therapies are helping her manage pain and inflammation naturally while promoting healing. Sheโ€™s also started a high-quality joint supplement to further support her recovery and joint health.

Although Miss Willow can sometimes be a little anxious, sheโ€™s been wonderfully relaxed during her sessions, showing just how much she appreciates the care sheโ€™s receiving. ๐Ÿชด

To give her body the best chance to heal and stabilize her injured joint, Miss Willow will need to take it easy at home and avoid slippery surfaces and activities that might aggravate her injury. With time, rest, and consistent support, weโ€™re confident this sweet girl will feel more comfortable and enjoy better mobility. ๐ŸŒฑ

Weโ€™re so proud of you, Miss Willow! ๐Ÿ‘

BONE BROTH RECIPE ๐Ÿ–โ €Bone broth is so good for sick/injured/older dogs, arthritic pets, or those with skin and gut issues...
15/11/2024

BONE BROTH RECIPE ๐Ÿ–โ €
Bone broth is so good for sick/injured/older dogs, arthritic pets, or those with skin and gut issues. โ €
BENEFITS: โ €
* Helps maintain a healthy gut, especially for dogs with digestive issuesโ €
* Supports dogโ€™s immune system and detoxes his liverโ €
* Helps protect his jointsโ €
* Supports Skin and coatโ €
* Allergy issues โ €
โ €
METHODโ €
First fill the pot with bones. To make sure thereโ€™s lots of healthy, joint protecting gelatin in the bone broth, try to add bones with a lot of joints in them like chicken, turkey or duck feet. You can also add discarded bones from your own cooking.โ €
โ €
Fill the pot with water so the bones are completely covered, plus an extra couple of cmโ€™s. โ €
The important part is to add a good quality APPLE CIDER VINEGAR 1/4 cup to the pot, this is what draws out all of that healthy gelatine (collagen)as it helps to draw all the nutritious minerals out of the bones.โ €
โ €
Bring it to the boil and then turn it down to low and leave it cooking for 24 hours. Use a slow cooker if you donโ€™t want to leave a pot on the stove unattended. โ €
โ €
Or I do it the cheats way; leaving it on low but pause and turn off the stove at bedtime and put the stove back on first thing in the morning ๐Ÿคซ taking up the count again from when itโ€™s turned back on. ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿณ
โ €
When the broth is finished, cool down and strain the bones and meat out. Cooked bones should never be fed to dogs, so they go straight in the bin. All the goodness has already come out of them and seeped into the broth. ๐Ÿฆด โ €
โ €
Once the broth is cooled, put it in the fridge and in just a few hours it turns into a nutritious jelly. โ €
When your broth comes out of the fridge, it will have a solid layer of fat on top which you can chip off and toss in the rubbish. โ €
Underneath the layer of fat the bone broth should look like a golden jelly. โ €
โ €
There is lots of gelatin (collagen) and other goodies in the jelly and thatโ€™s what helps with dogโ€™s joints and leaky gut that can cause allergies and digestive upset. โ €
โ €
My 10 kg dogs get about two heaped spoonfuls over their brekky or they get a cube as a treat straight from my hand. โ €
Itโ€™s food not medicine, so donโ€™t stress about exactly how much to give. ๐Ÿ•

Dear old Foxy is a lovely senior Alaskan Malamute, who has truly earned her snoozes during her treatments. ๐Ÿฉท Unlike Axel, whoโ€™s a little whirlwind of energy whoโ€™d gladly take every treatment for himself if he could. ๐Ÿ˜‚ Foxy is in her golden years, sheโ€™s slowing down, savoring every moment, and drifting off into a calm, happy sleep during sessions.
Sheโ€™s a joy to be around, and her serenity fills the room and then thereโ€™s Axel the Fox Terrier who is a pint-sized tornado of energy! Such a contrast! ๐Ÿคช ๐Ÿ’ฅ
With one ear up, ready to catch every sound, and one ear down, heโ€™s like a live action cartoon character. This pupper could power a whole town with his zoomies alone, and heโ€™s always on a mission! ๐Ÿ’ซ

Meet Rocco, a lovable 4-year-old Staffy mix with the sweetest smile that brightens up every room! ๐Ÿฉต๐Ÿฉต
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Recently, Rocco was diagnosed with a torn cruciate ligament by his vet. Instead of surgery, his caring owners have chosen a conservative approach to help Rocco heal naturally, and weโ€™re thrilled to be part of his journey. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Roccoโ€™s treatment plan includes Bowen therapy and cold laser sessions with us to support his healing and manage any discomfort. Weโ€™re also working on a few other important aspects of his recovery: helping him shed a few kilos to reduce strain on his joints, introducing lifestyle changes, and adding a high-quality joint supplement to his routine. This supplement not only promotes joint health but also provides natural anti-inflammatory and pain relief benefits, which we highly recommend. ๐ŸŒป
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
Weโ€™re so proud to share that Rocco is already showing improvement, with a smoother, more comfortable stride and a wag thatโ€™s as lively as ever. ๐ŸŒŸ
His journey will take time, patience, and lots of love, but heโ€™s on the right path and weโ€™re here cheering for him every step of the way! ๐Ÿพ

Meet beautiful Kit, an 11-year-old, 54 kg Great Dane mix. Dogs over 40 kg like Kit are considered seniors after about 5 years old.
As a senior, large-breed dog, dear Kit has been dealing with arthritis and back pain, which often cause intermittent lameness, especially after her walks.
Her hindquarters are also weakened as is often the case in older dogs, making things a bit tougher for this gentle giant. ๐Ÿฉท ๐Ÿ’—
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
After three sessions of Bowen therapy and cold laser, Kit is showing such wonderful progress. ๐Ÿ‘
Sheโ€™s moving more comfortably and hadnโ€™t experienced her usual lameness after exercise after her 2nd visit.
Itโ€™s heartwarming to see her feel better and enjoy her walks again.
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
And let me tell you, Kit has a heart of gold! She loves to shake hands with me during her sessions which I thought was such a sweet, trusting gesture and one that reminds me how much our furry friends appreciate the care they receive.
Keep shining bright beautiful Kit! โœจ
