👩🏼⚕️🩺 When Dr. Calverley says, ‘Your dog needs to see Jenn to learn how to use their brace,’ this is what she means! 💪 Jenn’s here to make brace training FUNctional (yes, fun and functional!) by helping your dog move comfortably and confidently in all directions 🐾🐶
🙌 From bending and walking forwards, backwards, and sideways to sitting and getting up with ease, your dog will master the art of movement in their brace. Jenn’s approach focuses on proper muscle engagement, building confidence, and creating positive, memorable experiences—because braces should support a life full of wag-worthy adventures!
👏 With her energy, enthusiasm, and expert tips, Jenn’s sessions aren’t just training—they’re tail-wagging good times! …..and Dr. Calverley gets the play by play and post game highlights by video 📺🍿#caninerehab #keepfitandhavefun #caninerehabilitation #caninefitness #thespaw #underwatertreadmill #canineconditioning #southsurrey #caninehydrotherapy #vancitydogs #fraservalleydogs #orthopets @opvancouver
What you see vs. what Jenn sees 👀🔍🧐
To you, it might look like fun and games in the underwater treadmill with The SPAW patients – all splish splash and wagging tails. But Jenn, our pet mobility detective, is hard at work solving lameness and gait mysteries. 🕵️♀️💦
🔍 What Jenn sees:
✅ Stride length
✅ Symmetry vs. asymmetry
✅ Range of motion
✅ Imbalances
✅ Lameness or compensation
While you’re watching the splash zone, Jenn’s busy spotting what you might not notice at home or on leash! 🐾 #caninerehab #keepfitandhavefun #caninerehabilitation #caninefitness #thespaw #underwatertreadmill #canineconditioning #southsurrey #caninehydrotherapy #vancitydogs
Max, formerly known as Fluffy from Douglas College and LAPS, is back for his monthly rehab session at The SPAW and holds a special place in our hearts. His mobility challenges have truly been a team effort to manage and his sweet nature makes every step of the journey worthwhile. He’s one of a kind, and we’re so grateful to be part of his Keep Fit and Have Fun program! #caninerehab #keepfitandhavefun #caninerehabilitation #caninefitness #thespaw #underwatertreadmill #canineconditioning #southsurrey #caninehydrotherapy #vancitydogs #dogsofvancouver #doggym @laps_bc @portcoquitlamanimalhospital
🎉🙌 We’re back! After a wild ride of relocation, floods, and the occasional oops, The SPAW is set to open its doors fully this February in South Surrey! With a shiny new underwater treadmill (no more temporary fixes, we promise), we’re ready to welcome back our community of Fit Pets and Fun People.
Special thanks to everyone who stuck with us through the chaos—and to Phil, who’s still processing the heartbreak that the underwater treadmill is not a giant drinking fountain. Stay tuned for the grand opening and more opportunities to help your pet or athlete keep fit and have fun! Appointments start up again Saturday and can be booked at www.thespaw.com #caninerehab #keepfitandhavefun #caninerehabilitation #caninefitness #thespaw #underwatertreadmill #canineconditioning #southsurrey #fraservalleydogs #caninehydrotherapy #vancitydogs #dogsofsouthsurrey #southsurreydogs #southrockdogs #dogsofvancouver #doggym

Today was our busiest day yet at the spaw gym, and the star of the show? Our “INDICA”credible cat that uses a wheelchair! 🌟 This fierce feline proves every day that abilities matter more than limitations. 💪 Whether he’s chasing laser pointers or mastering new exercises, he is redefining what’s possible with determination and a little TLC. 🐱✨

Introducing: Wiggle Butts! 🍑🐾
Don’t worry—they don’t wiggle. And yes, they’re sturdy and appropriately sized for all breeds, from the tiniest teacup to the mightiest mastiff. These versatile additions to our gym are all about angles and stability—because if you know Jenn, you know she’s serious about safe equipment and rehab done right.
We can’t wait to put these to work in our gym, helping power up those sit-to-stands and boosting mobility with every perfectly calibrated leg and angle configuration. Here’s to stronger wiggles and fitter pets. #caninerehab #keepfitandhavefun #caninerehabilitation #caninefitness #underwatertreadmill #thespaw #canineconditioning #southsurrey #caninehydrotherapy #fraservalleydogs #vancitydogs #wigglebutts
What do you think?
🦴 The Hips Don’t Lie… or Do They? 🦴
Chronic back pain, iliopsoas struggles that just won’t quit, or chiropractic treatments that don’t seem to stick? How about that front limb lameness that pops up with no obvious cause or injury? These signs might be your pet’s way of saying, “Something deeper is going on!” It’s our job to listen and investigate.
At The SPAW, Jenn is all about digging deeper to find the root cause, not just treating the symptoms. That means:
🔍 A full work-up with your family veterinarian 🩺
📋 A thorough physical exam with palpation - nose to tail! 🐶
📸 X-rays and other diagnostics if warranted 🦴🩻
Temporary relief is great, but lasting solutions come from uncovering the why. Let’s work together to give your pet the comfort and mobility they deserve! #collaborativecare #caninerehab #keepfitandhavefun #caninerehabilitation #caninefitness #underwatertreadmill #thespaw #canineconditioning #southsurrey #caninehydrotherapy #fraservalleydogs #vancitydogs
Meet Sasha The P-A-R-T-Y animal! 🎉 At 11 years young, Sasha has overcome her recent mobility challenges and stolen the title of SPAW wild child from both Connor and Phil 🚀 After her weekly underwater treadmill and laser sessions she tears around The SPAW gym bronco bucking and picking play fights with Jenn and her family members like she’s 11 months old, not 11 years young. Watch out world, Sasha’s spunk is unstoppable! 🐾💃 #GoldenYearsGlowUp #PartyAtTheSPAW #caninerehab #keepfitandhavefun #caninerehabilitation #caninefitness #underwatertreadmill #thespaw #canineconditioning #southsurrey #caninehydrotherapy #fraservalleydogs #vancitydogs
