We have truly fantastic clients! It's a great feeling seeing them how far they go for their beloved pets. They always look to improve the quality of life for their animals. If their pets are in a challenging condition, their creativity, motivation and inspiration exceed any expectations. We have a Doggy Mary Poppins, whose love, care and support sets the bar really high... a Cat Wonder Woman, who invented many special equipment to keep her cat mobile... a Doggy Superman, who developed a special training course for his dog based on the home work recommended by our vet... a Fairy Dogmother, whose commitment to investigate her dog's behavioural episodes is second to none... And this list is not complete. It will never be, because we have more and more amazing owners, who aim for the impossible, regardless if their animals are ill or just want to give the best life for them.

🌿 PLANT OF THE MONTH🍀
Ribwort Plantain (Plantago lanceolata) is a versatile herb with a long history of use in traditional medicine, including veterinary applications.
• Its leaves are rich in mucilage, a natural compound that soothes and protects irritated tissues.
• This makes Ribwort Plantain particularly beneficial for treating various ailments, such as wounds, ulcers, and respiratory problems.
• The herb's anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties also make it a valuable addition to herbal remedies for skin conditions and digestive disturbances.

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE! ⚠️ DO NOT treat your animals with herbs without consulting with a herbalist vet! Herbs can be very potent with professional guidance and recommendation. Some herbs can be poisonous to certain species! Always ask for advice! ☯️⚕️🐾

Shug the Pug enjoys his acupuncture treatment. It is for his condition and for pain management as well. He sees Ellen every week. He looks forward to his treatments, as he knows he benefits from them. He is such a lovely little dog and a big character.
This is a working triangle 🔺, where all three parties do their own "job" including him, his mum and dad and us, the vets (complementary). It is a humbling feeling to see the love and care he gets from his family. All of these things are equally important for his wellbeing and the quality of his life.
You, as a dog parent, don't have to do anything else, just love, support and care about them and be very positive that all of the supplements, prescriptions and treatments achieve the desired effects. And it works.

Meadowsweet, the Herb of the Month 🌿☯️🍃

Meadowsweet is a herb with a long history of use in Traditional Herbal Medicine, and its benefits extend to animals as well. They are in full bloom in July and August (See pictures)

Benefits of Meadowsweet for Animals

* Anti-inflammatory properties: It's rich in compounds like salicin, which has anti-inflammatory effects, making it beneficial for conditions like arthritis and joint pain.

* Pain relief: The natural analgesic properties of meadowsweet can help soothe discomfort associated with various ailments.

* Digestive support: It can aid in digestive issues by reducing inflammation in the gut and helping with conditions like heartburn and gastritis.

* Skin health: Meadowsweet has been used to support skin health due to its anti-inflammatory and astringent properties.

Important Considerations
* ALWAYS consult a Herbal/Holistic vet: Before giving your pet meadowsweet or any other herb, it's crucial to consult with a Herbal Veterinarian Specialist to ensure it's safe and appropriate for your animal's specific condition.

* Dosage: The correct dosage depends on the animal's size, weight, and health condition. A qualified Herbal Vet can provide specific recommendations.

Have you ever wondered if your pet really needs to be wormed? Do you use the worming medication routinely from your vet or you buy them in a pet shop?
Worm count gives you the right answer. Test your pets for worms and see if they have any. If your results come back negative, you don't have to do anything. Take action only if it's necessary. We can recommend you to use even a natural treatment.
Regular worming with medication has a huge effect on your pet's health if it is not necessary. Some worms can even be resistant to medication. There's nothing worse than administering regular medication, when it is not needed.
Worm count keeps you in control regarding your pet's condition.
We are proud to announce that we offer worm count as part of our service. We work together with a well established laboratory. The testing process is very quick and you get back the results within a couple of days. Our prices are very competitive.
Intrigued? Please get in touch and we are happy to help you to maintain the best quality of life of your pet. (Worm count is available for pets, horses, farm animals, birds and reptiles) 🐾💓☯️💓🐾

When thinking about visiting us for chiropractic care for your animals please presume it is nothing like the videos of extreme cracks and pops that appear to be viral on social media at the moment.

Chiropractors at our office undertake a thorough history as to why you have attended and then precede to take a measured physical examination that your pet is comfortable with at all times. Chiropractic doesn't take a long time but we allow slightly longer appointments so that breaks can be taken if needed.

Chiropractic is known for it's precise and specific adjustments to joints throughout the body not just the spine. However, we may also use other tools to help facilitate the chiropractic adjustment. For example we regularly use cold laser, theraplate, instrument assisted soft tissue work and other modalities. We also do rehab.

Otis is one of our success stories. He used to be a race horse. He arrived at the SRUC with many health issues. We identified many of those, which can be treated with chiropractic. It was about six months ago. We've been seeing him regularly. Beyond the treatments, we became good friends and he really enjoyed his treatments. Emily and her team did a great job giving him a big amount of TLC. Alongside with chiropractic treatments his recovery and rehabilitation was so successful that Otis is a different horse now. He is more confident, open and happy... He stays on regular maintenance in chiropractic, as it is recommended at his age.
