Rug walkways are great for any dog to avoid slipping on slippery floors. However, they are an absolute must if your dog's mobility or confidence is compromised and can help to prevent acute flare ups from falls.

This 4 month old puppy Spider is learning about hind end awareness, and what a clever cookie she is!! For a dog to understand where its rear end is, in relation to the rest of its body, means they are able to have better movement whilst avoiding injury. Especially important for our working dogs like Spider 🕷 🧡
I've had my geek on this weekend by attending the Chronic Pain Symposium.
There has been a wealth of knowledge shared by various veterinary professionals & animal specialists from around the world. My brain is fizzing with all the valuable information I've gained, I can't wait to put it into practice 🐾

I am proud to be a Canine Arthritis Management Advocate.
Canine arthritis is one of the leading causes of euthanasia in our dogs. HOWEVER education around how arthritis develops, as well as giving dog owners access to different management modalities could greatly reduce the need for euthanasia, giving you more years with your beloved dog 🐶

Lily’s owner reached out to me for Myotherapy treatments to help her beautiful girl with patella luxation. The level of Lily’s luxation is low & so can be conservatively managed without surgery.
Lily is incredibly fit with lovely muscle tone. She off-loads weight from her affected limb causing tension to form, especially in the opposite leg & shoulder as well as in the hips & lower back.
Myotherapy helps to release this tension, while exercises focusing on stretching & weight shifting keep the muscles strong & long.
If your dog has a luxation it is essential to have healthy supporting muscles around the joint to prevent worsening the condition or causing injury to the other soft tissues in the area.
