Give Your Dog a Helping Paw on the Road!

Did you know that protecting your dog’s joints early on can help avoid pain later? Whether your dog’s a bouncy pup or a wise old furball, you can help save those joints from extra wear and tear.

The Car Jump: Not So Fun for Their Joints

Jumping in and out of the car puts SIX times your dog’s weight on their front legs! Ouch, right? This can cause joint pain, muscle strain, and even fractures over time—especially for older dogs.

The Fix?

Try a foldable ramp, non-slip steps, or just give your dog a lift! It’s an easy way to protect those paws and keep them comfy while traveling. Senior dogs will love the extra help!

Meet Barney, Our Star of the Month for February! 🌟🐾

Barney, our sweet and mischievous Cocker Spaniel, has shown incredible progress thanks to his dedication to his health and rehabilitation journey.

A few months ago, Barney was struggling with hip dysplasia and was in serious need of weight loss to help with his comfort and mobility. In May 2024, he was only able to manage short walks, often stopping to sit down and refuse to go any further. His joints were causing him discomfort, and his muscle definition was lacking for his age.

With frequent hydrotherapy sessions, home-based physio exercises, a very strict diet, and structured walks, Barney has made incredible strides. Over the course of six months, his waist shrank from 54 cm to 44 cm, his hind limbs have toned and defined by an average of 3 cm, and his weight dropped from over 17 kg to under 15 kg!

Barney is now full of energy and joy, tearing around with enthusiasm, and no longer unhappy during his walks.

We're so proud of Barney's transformation, and his journey is truly a testament to resilience, effort, and love! 🐶💙

Meet Inca and Lola, Our Gorgeous Labrador Duo! 🐕💙

Inca (8 years) and Lola (16.5 years) are no strangers to our hydrotherapy and physiotherapy centre. As Labrador Retrievers, they’ve faced some of the orthopedic challenges common to their breed.

Inca has been living well with elbow dysplasia for several years, staying active and happy thanks to regular treatment. Lola, however, has been dealing with arthritis and muscle wastage, which have slowed her down, but her spirit remains strong.

Both girls absolutely love their hydrotherapy sessions! We suspect it might have something to do with the tasty treats they get afterward 🐶 Lab speed at its finest! But beyond the fun, their treatment plan helps them stay active and comfortable as they age.

We’re so proud of both Inca and Lola for their progress, and we admire the dedication of their owners in supporting them through their rehabilitation. These girls are truly a testament to resilience and love! 💙🐾

🐾🎉 Star of the Month: Meet Bran! 🎉🐾

We’re beyond proud to announce our Star of the Month—the incredible Bran! 🐶✨

Rescued from Romania in 2022, Bran faced a tough start when he suffered an intervertebral disc herniation (IVDD), leaving him unable to use his back legs. After a successful surgery in April 2023, he made a strong recovery—only to face another setback in early 2024. Bran’s condition had worsened requiring a second surgery.
Diagnosed with stage 5 IVDD, Bran was given a low chance of recovery. He was unable to feel either of his back feet and it was likely he would never be able to walk again. Thankfully due to Brans determination, along with the unwavering support of his devoted owners, he has made amazing progress. Despite his dislike for water (hydrotherapy wasn’t his thing!), Bran’s physiotherapy journey has been a success. He can now walk short distances, has feeling in both back legs, and best of all—he’s wagging his tail again! 🌟

Bran’s road to recovery is ongoing, but we couldn’t be more inspired by his strength and his owners' dedication. Keep going, Bran—you’re a true warrior! 💖

🐾 Let’s Talk About Overgrown Nails and Your Dog’s Health 🐾

Did you know your dog’s nails are an important part of their overall well-being? They are connected to the last bone in their foot and help with traction, while also providing your dog’s brain with crucial feedback about the position of their feet in relation to the environment.

When nails become overgrown, they can alter the angle of your dog’s toes, which increases pressure on their joints and ligaments. This can lead to posture issues, altered movement, and potentially cause injuries or joint problems.

Overgrown nails also remain in constant contact with the floor, putting pressure on the bone in their paw (P3), which can lead to discomfort. Long nails and excess hair around the pads reduce traction on slippery surfaces, making your dog more likely to slip and strain muscles or joints.

🩺 Regular nail and pad hair care is essential, especially for dogs with conditions like osteoarthritis or poor proprioception. It can greatly improve your dog’s comfort and overall quality of life.

If you feel your dog’s posture has been affected by poorly maintained nails, consider booking a physiotherapy session to address any asymmetry and help correct their posture.

If you’re unsure how to trim your dog’s nails, why not book your pet a pedicure with one of our nurses today! 💅

Our Retired Agility Heroes! ✨🐶

Meet Bonnie, Little Mae, and Merlin – our retired agility stars who’ve lived active and competitive lives in the agility world. Now enjoying their well-deserved retirement, they have embraced a more relaxed lifestyle with regular treatments to keep them feeling their best.

Bonnie, who has arthritis, receives ongoing care through hydrotherapy, gentle physiotherapy, and laser treatment to maintain her mobility and comfort. Mae, with her focus on muscle tone, enjoys her regular sessions to ensure her strength doesn’t diminish with age.

Merlin, the youngest of the trio, also benefits from laser therapy, particularly when experiencing muscular tension in his lower back. He’s especially fond of the attention that comes with his treatment, and he loves being the center of attention! 🐶

These wonderful dogs bring so much joy to our rehab center, and it’s always a full house when they’re here! We love helping them thrive and continue to live their best, mobile, and happy lives in retirement. 🐩❤️

Stay tuned for more updates on Solovey's journey – we’re so excited to watch him return to his regular adventures, from long walks on his lead to zooming around the house and climbing his cat tree! 💨

Meet Kiara, Our Sassy Young Lady! 🐩💙

Kiara was diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia at just over a year old, meaning her hip joints didn’t develop properly, which caused instability and early arthritis. Despite these challenges, Kiara is a happy, energetic dog who enjoys life to the fullest.

Her love of water is a key part of her treatment plan. Regular hydrotherapy helps strengthen her hind limbs, improve her posture, and support weight distribution. In addition to this, land physiotherapy and a structured home routine also help maintain her comfort and mobility.

We’re proud of Kiara’s progress and the dedication of her owners in supporting her through her rehabilitation. She’s a true example of resilience! 💙🐾

Our Resilient Rehab Star! ✨🐶

Meet Angus, a brave Labradoodle who has been a patient at our Rehab Centre for several months. Angus was diagnosed with mild bilateral hip dysplasia, which required a patient and gentle approach to his rehabilitation.

Angus can become easily overwhelmed by various stimuli, so we’ve worked with him one step at a time, using a calm and slow approach to ensure his comfort. Although Angus prefers to be handled only by his owner, with time and patience, we achieved steady progress, including muscle palpation, hydrotherapy, and laser therapy.

One of the most rewarding milestones was seeing Angus become more comfortable with eye contact and accepting treats – small but significant victories! His owner has been incredibly supportive throughout the process, and we’re grateful for their commitment to Angus's rehabilitation.

Sadly, Angus has recently relocated to the Scottish Highlands. We will miss him dearly and wish him a long, happy, and active life in his new home.

Good luck, Angus! ❤️

Meet Theodore – Our Rehabilitation Champion! 🐶💙

Theodore has made incredible strides in his recovery from hip dysplasia and behavioral challenges. With the help of regular physiotherapy and hydrotherapy, he’s not only improving his mobility but also becoming more focused and calm. While Theodore is a lovely dog, he can get easily overexcited, which makes it harder for him to settle. His treatment plan is helping him manage this, so he can stay relaxed and comfortable.

His dedicated owners have been fully committed to his rehab, and their hard work is paying off. Theodore loves his hydrotherapy sessions, especially when toys or towels are involved, and he’s gained 5 cm of muscle mass in his back legs as a bonus!

We’re so proud of Theodore’s progress and his owner’s dedication. He’s well on his way to living an active and balanced life. Keep it up, Theodore! 🐾💙
