Meet Annie. She is a 10 year old toy poodle except she really doesn't know she is 10. Annie comes for a swim whilst her big brother Boris (a Borzoi) treadmills. Today Annie decided that the turtle was hers even though it was almost as big as her.

A snapshot of some clients who were enjoying the warm water and the sun whilst having a swim. We are the only hydrotherapy centre on our side of town that are currently offering swimming as well as 3 aquatreadmills. As many dogs as possible access both the pool and the aquatreadmills in their session as the two systems complement each other really well.

Healthy tips to care for your senior dogs. I work with a large number of older dogs and for a lot, old age has slowly crept up and owners have not recognised the decline in muscle mass until their dogs are struggling to stand.

Sarcopenia or age related muscle loss typically begins around the age of 7 in large breeds and somewhat later in smaller dogs. The body naturally begins to lose muscle mass due to decreased physical activity and changes in metabolism.

Recognizing early signs of sarcopenia, such as less energetic, more lethargic,sleep more than usual, reluctance of play, hesitate to jump, noticable thinning of thigh muscles.

So here are some tips:
* feed healthy, easy to digest, protein rich raw
diet.
* feed omega 3 supplements - I use Antinol and Chia seed jelly however there are alot of options now available
* consistent routine of low impact exercises - keep them moving. Some gentle resistance exe4cises will also help build muscle.
* regular massage and stretching
* mental stimulation - old dogs don't need 5km walks but they do need mental stimulation through sniffing, tricks, food puzzles etc

Check your dog's hips,thighs and shoulders regularly, it will help you to spot changes and address before they worsen.

Dogs' nails are a crucial aspect of their overall health, and as a professional, I regularly emphasize the importance of regular nail trimming to clients. However, many clients are unaware of the damage caused by overly long nails. Some individuals believe that long nails do not cause discomfort, as they do not hurt humans.

Nevertheless, this misconception is far from accurate, and professionals who work closely with dogs, including trainers, groomers, and veterinarians, stress the importance of trimming dogs' nails or "claws" to prevent potential health issues. The consequences of having overly long nails on dogs can be severe. When left untrimmed, the toes can begin to spread unnaturally, affecting movement and foot placement.

This can cause the toes to sit wider apart, resulting in larger gaps and a less compact foot. If left unaddressed, the toes can twist over time, leading to an altered gait or walking pattern that can be challenging to detect. This, in turn, affects the joints and muscles up the leg, ultimately impacting the hips, gait, and overall walking style. Unlike other animals, dogs' nails do not retract and remain long, causing discomfort when walking on hard surfaces like concrete. Long nails are unable to sink into these surfaces, leading to bent toes, strained joints, and unnatural foot compensation.

While some dogs may exhibit pain, others may not, but this does not imply they are not experiencing significant discomfort. Pain can manifest in unexpected ways, such as unwanted behavior, movement, and posture.

As dog owners, it is our responsibility to ensure our dogs live a pain-free life. Although nail care can be challenging for some dogs, it is essential to persevere and not abandon their nail care. I am happy to assist with nail trimming (for a small fee) during sessions if time allows, and clients are encouraged to request this service at their next appointment.

Thanks to ABCdogsNZ for a great poster.

Meet Toby, a young black lab who is coming for weightloss. Unfortunately his owner had an injury which resulted in him getting less exercise and he quickly stacked on the weight. Along with some diet modifications and increasing his exercise he is back on track with his weight and is now coming for fitness and fun.

My 9 year old daughter Ally, who a lot of clients have met has started to make these bags for sale (with help from me). Ally is trying to raise money to buy an aerial silks rig. There will be more designs coming but I apparently didn't buy enough bags. These calico bags are $12 each and are 38cm x 42cm. They are the perfect size for a towel/bathrobe for hydrotherapy. If you would like one please let me know or have a look at your dogs next session.
