💚🎄💜V.A.T ADVENT CALENDAR 2025💜🎄💚

🌟On the 2nd of December…

Our advent calendar today is the handsome chap Rigsby 🥰

Rigsby first started coming to us for rehabilitation post cruciate surgery back in January. He was doing brilliantly and then his other cruciate went and he had surgery on that side too.
Rigsby is doing amazing and is the most loving boy who really enjoys his k-laser treatment and tells us when he is ready to start! He has done incredible in hydro and is now back to enjoying a few more exciting walks that are age appropriate!

When our dogs get older it is often hard for us to adapt especially when having undergone such surgery. But Rigsby has a very dedicated and loving family who have done everything possible to help him along. It’s a pleasure to work with such dedicated owners

Rigsby you are such a sweetie with so much character 💜💚🐾

💚🎄💜V.A.T ADVENT CALENDAR 2025💜🎄💚

🌟On the 1st of December…

Our advent calendar today is the amazing Sydney 🖤

Today had to be this special boy 🥰 it was also his birthday on Saturday 😍🐾 so huge happy birthday wishes to this prince 👑

Sydney started his rehabilitation with us a few years ago! He was a lazy boy to begin with and wouldn’t engage much - he liked to float around! But after he settled into things and we built trust and understanding he became a fabulous swimmer with such confidence and great range of motion. He now shows us his fantastic stride in our underwater treadmill! He may need a little encouragement from time to time but he is the loveliest boy to work with.

He has a brilliant family who have given him such a wonderful life and knows exactly what he needs.

Sydney you are amazing 🤩 what a gorgeous dog he is to work with too 💜💚🖤🐾

These two are just beautiful 😍 they are such characters with so much to give!

Bramble is a regular on a rehabilitation journey and is doing incredible since her elbow surgery during covid 💪🏻🧡 this little dog just tries so hard and puts her trust in me every single time and that’s an honour.

Holly has begun a fitness and wellbeing journey and has smashed it from the start 🌟 she’s keen to follow her sisters lead!

🍂🧡HAPPY FRIDAY 🤎 🍂

WOW how is it now October already!! This year is flying by!

It’s been another fantastic week in clinic this week. We have been really busy but have seen some amazing progress on the plans our patients are on. 💜💚

Here is one special little guy……

HOWARD 😍 this boy has done incredible with his rehabilitation.
He has had a spinal injury, but after in depth conversations with the vet’s, his owners decided they wouldn’t have the surgery as it was too risky with the type of spinal injury he had.

So Howard was on strict plan at home with minimal exercise for approximately 6weeks and then when more stable he came to us to start his K-Laser and hydrotherapy treatment.
Now I have to say he is the most energetic, full of life, cheeky little guy ever 🥰 he has the biggest personality and he never fails to make us smile 😍

Howard is now doing even better and building strength and muscle to support himself all the time.
We are so proud of how far he has come 🥰 But it’s down to the pure dedication of his owners.

All spinal cases are different and we work so hard to ensure each patient receives the best care and treatment plan to suit their individual needs.
If your dog has a weakness get in touch.
