Today has left my heart heavy. To say I’m cross would be an understatement. The idea that you felt it was somehow acceptable to leave any animal suffering for over 18 hours is utterly heartbreaking. One of the first principles of veterinary care is to do no harm, yet when I reached out I was told you were too busy. When I asked if I knew anyone else that would help, I was told no.

I wasn’t asking for treatment. I was only asking for her suffering to be ended. I can’t shake the feeling that if this had been a dog or a cat, things would have been very different. It’s hard not to feel that some lives are being valued less than others, and that thought devastates me.

She deserved peace, kindness, and dignity. All animals, no matter how small, deserve compassion. 💔🌈

Ever tried spinning plates while riding a unicycle… on a tightrope… with a toddler on your hip? Because that’s exactly what this week has felt like! 😅

Being a mum is hard.
Being a business owner is hard.
Doing both at the same time… some days it feels like running a full-blown circus act. 🤹‍♂️

This week my little one’s been unwell, which has meant juggling childcare, rearranging appointments, and somehow squeezing everyone in before I head away next week. It’s been long days, late nights, and at this point sleep feels optional but snacks have definitely been essential!

I just want to say the biggest thank you to all my wonderful clients for your patience, understanding, and flexibility. It honestly means the world and allows me to keep doing what I love.

To all the mums out there holding it all together and running your own little circuses, I see you and you’re doing amazing ❤️

Guess who strutted back into the clinic today like the superstar she is? 🌟 It’s the fabulous Molly! 💛🐾

This lovely little Jack Russell came in for her physio session and, honestly, she travelled halfway around the world just to see me… kind of 😉✈️🐾

Originally from New Zealand 🇳🇿, Molly is settling into UK life beautifully. Since her recent hip dysplasia diagnosis, she’s been having physio with me and taking it all in her stride. She’s feeling stronger, more comfortable, and is back out exploring like the adventurous little legend she is 🌿✨

It’s such a joy working with dogs like Molly, helping them stay mobile, happy, and doing all the things they love most 💫

Erm excuse me… how gorgeous is this Duck Tolling Retriever that entered my clinic today for his initial assessment? 🥹🧡

🥉✨ 3rd Place for My Baby Giraffe! ✨🥉

Well, Finn did it! Today at the agility competition, my baby giraffe only went and placed 3rd—our first ever placing together!

He pulled off a lovely clear round, and I’m still in shock at how close it was—just milliseconds between the top three! Not too shabby for a youngster who’s still figuring out how to coordinate all his legs at once.

It’s moments like these that remind me how far we’ve come. He might keep me on my toes, but watching him fly around the course today made me so proud.

This is just the beginning for us—and I can’t wait to see what my baby giraffe does next!

💭 The Realities of Rehabilitation 💭

When people think of canine physiotherapy, they often imagine a quick fix—a few sessions, some stretches, and voilà, problem solved. If only it were that simple.

The reality? Rehabilitation is rarely a straight line. It’s a process—one that requires patience, consistency, and a whole lot of heart.

I’ve worked with dogs who bounce back quickly, and others where progress feels painstakingly slow. There are days when everything clicks, and days when it feels like we’re moving backward. But here’s the thing: those small, unglamorous steps? They matter.

👉 The dog who couldn’t manage a short walk without limping—but now joyfully trots across the park.
👉 The senior dog with arthritis who finds it easier to get up in the morning after weeks of targeted exercises.
👉 The agility dog who, after months of rehab, returns to the sport they love without pain.

What you don’t see are the quiet victories: the moments when a dog takes its first pain-free step, or the look of relief on an owner’s face when they realize there is hope.

It’s not always easy. There are no magic cures. But with the right plan, consistency, and a team that genuinely cares, real transformation happens.

So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed because your dog’s recovery isn’t as fast as you’d hoped—take a breath. Progress is still progress, no matter how small. And trust me, those little wins? They add up to something pretty incredible.

Because at the end of the day, the goal isn’t just recovery—it’s giving your dog the best quality of life possible. And that’s always worth it. 💙

🎉 We did it! 🎉

Proud to share that Finn and I passed our Kennel Club Bronze Good Citizen Award today! All the training, patience, and hard work paid off – and I couldn’t be prouder of him for smashing it. 🐾💪

A huge thank you to Three Legged Cross Dog Training Club for all the support and guidance – we couldn’t have done it without you! On to the next challenge… Silver, we’re coming for you! 🥈

Sweet dreams, baby boy. The world can be so unfair at times, and I still can’t believe you’re not here anymore. We tried everything to fix you, to heal you, but sometimes, no matter how hard you fight, some things just can’t be fixed. Your body failed you, and it breaks my heart that you had to go through so much. But now, you are no longer in pain—you are free.

You gave us so much love, taught me more than I ever imagined, and will forever be Theo’s best friend. I miss you more than words can express, and I will carry you in my heart forever. Rest peacefully, my angel. ❤️✨
