For anyone purchasing YuMove joint supplements from Amazon: please be aware there are counterfeit products in circulation!!
https://yumove.co.uk/pages/amazon-faqs/

Veterinary Medicines Directorate, a government organisation in charge everything to do with veterinary medicines, maintains a list of registered and verified online medicine retailers. And while this is a supplement and not a medicine, the legitimacy of the online pharmacy in question makes it less likely for counterfeit products to sneak in: https://www.vmd.defra.gov.uk/register/online-retailers

After 3 years of hard work, final exams are over, and Dalya is now a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner, one of only a handful in the UK 😊

Rehabilitation has similar principles to physiotherapy, and is a process of managing pain, restoring musculoskeletal function, improving mobility, and improving fitness. It encompasses diagnostics (such as thorough joint and soft tissue examination, gait a**lysis, x-rays, musculoskeletal ultrasound), pain management (including acupuncture), therapeutic exercises, physical therapy, hydrotherapy, modalities such as laser and therapeutic ultrasound, and regenerative medicine (stem cells and platelet-rich plasma injections).

Who can benefit from rehabilitation?
- arthritic pets
- pets who've had orthopaedic surgery
- pets with non-surgical cruciate injuries, medial patella luxations, elbow or hip dysplasia
- pets with back/intervertebral disc problems
- pets with other neurological conditions, e.g. vestibular disease, degenerative myelopathy, muscular weakness
- puppies and adult dogs with abnormal conformation
- sporting dogs
- dogs with cognitive dysfunction/senility

If you'd like to know more or think that your dog could use some rehabilitation to help them enjoy their best life, please get in touch!

BEST LIFE PLAN: PUPPY EDITION
We are so excited about this one! Everything you could possibly need to set up your puppy for a healthy life! All the usual preventative care suspects (vaccines, parasite treatment, teeth brushing, social visits) are included, but we also have:
- GENETIC TESTING via a simple cheek swab - this is such a massive addition to your toolbox as a dog owner! The Wisdom panel tests for 250 different genetic markers to assess your pup's risk for different problems, and if any are identified then we can talk about decreasing the risks, prevention and long term management, this is HUGE!
- musculoskeletal assessments as your puppy grows, let's decrease the risk and impact of things like hip dysplasia and abnormal conformation early on, so we can delay and even prevent problems later in life
- nutrition assessments and changes to requirement as your puppy grows
- puppy classes, including some behaviour one-on-ones with our clinical behaviourist

This puppy plan is AMAZING value and really showcases what a positive impact we can have on long term health! Our standard Puppy Pack remains available, but if you want to supercharge your puppy's start in life this is the plan for you!

Dogs + sticks = trouble!

Most of us know by now that throwing sticks for our dogs to fetch can result in some dangerous injuries, but we'd also like to raise awareness that simple stick chewing can also lead to trouble!

This little guy got a piece of stick stuck between his upper molars, causing him a lot of discomfort, but luckily no serious damage, and we're pleased to report that he's recovering nicely!

If your doggo is a relentless chewer, opt for hardy toys (Kongs are great, especially when filled with their favourite tasty treats!), rawhide strips (but make sure they are not swallowing large chunks) or dental sticks, and remove them when they show signs of splintering.

We've been a bit busy destroying the practice 😆
You've probably heard a bit of noise - there's a team of builders hard at work creating another consult room to give us all a bit more space! The work is expected to take a couple of months, so please bear with us - we're trying to keep the noise to a minimum, but if your pet finds the noise in reception upsetting, please ask to wait in the car until you're called in.
We're all excited to share the new room with you soon! 😊

Watch this space for all things puppies!👀
Zoom Q&A and in-person training sessions coming soon...

Hi everyone! We saw a lovely litter of Dachshund puppies for their health check this week, so thought it would be a good time to talk about disc disease in dogs!

Disc disease can happen to any dog, but certain breeds are at higher risk - did you know that 50% of Dachshunds will develop at least 1 disc problem in their lifetime? Other high risk breeds include French Bulldogs, Corgis, and Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.

While we can't prevent a disc problem from happening, we can do something to reduce risk:
1. Maintaining a normal body weight, and not allowing our dogs to become overweight
2. Avoiding high impact repetitive activities that place excessive stress on the back, such as agility, repetitive jumping up to catch a ball, frisbee catching
3. Rehab exercises to strengthen the dog's back and core muscles, and hind legs

We'll be holding a group rehab class that aims to teach you several strengthening exercises that can be beneficial to dogs at risk of back problems, so if you share your life with a Dachshund, a Frenchie, a Cavalier, or any other dog who might benefit from some strength work, give us a call on 01202 499622 or email [email protected] to register your interest!

Hope you've all had a great weekend!

GRASS SEEDS!
Little Boo had a grass seed lodged in her eye, causing an ulcer on the eye surface and a lot of irritation. She was a super good girl for the removal of the offending awn, and her eye should now feel a lot better!
Please remain vigilant everyone, and avoid long grass whenever possible!

FIRST AID webinar is linked in the comments below! It only took me about a dozen false starts 😂

The wonderfully talented Sky came in to help us film some rehabilitation exercise videos last week! Rehab exercises have so many benefits, and here are just a few: - return to full function after orthopaedic surgery - maintaining strength, range of movement and general mobility in our arthritic patients - improving core strength - important for everyone, and especially important for dogs who are at risk of disc disease (we're looking at you, Daxies and Frenchies!) - improving body awareness - help with symptoms of cognitive dysfunction/doggy dementia - help strengthen muscles and soft tissues in dogs at risk of joint disease Most importantly, our patients have a lot of fun learning the exercises! And they are great for a rainy day :) Have a great weekend everyone! xx
