Our new maintenance man, John, has been hard at work today making sure our paddocks are in tip-top condition for our lovely clients! This now gives our own Mr John Dyson time to work on our exciting upcoming projects!

We are so pleased to be able to offer your dogs a wander in the beautifully maintained paddocks before and/or after their treatment sessions for them to enjoy and have a sniff! 💜

🌞Summer is here!🌞

Snowy has got some tips to help your pups beat the heat and stay cool during this little heatwave we are currently experiencing:

🚰 Stay Hydrated: Ensure your dog has plenty of fresh, cool water readily available.

⛱️ Find the Shade: Create shaded areas using umbrellas etc in your garden.

🥶Indoor Chill: Keep your home cool with fans or air conditioning.
💡Top tip: Leaving a damp towel for your dog to lie on alongside keeping curtains/blinds shut can help provide relief from the heat.

🪮 Regular Grooming: Brush your dog frequently to remove any excess hair.

🦮 Limit exercise on hot days: Consider the time of day you are taking your dog on a walk. It is best to walk your dog early morning or late evenings to avoid the heat and try to take them on walks in shaded areas.

🌡️ Watch out for hot pavement: Pavements and tarmac become very hot, very quickly during the summer months. If the ground is too hot to touch with your hand for a few seconds, it is too hot for paws!

We would like to remind our clients to stay safe and take care of themselves during the summer heat. Enjoy the sunshine and stay cool!

🐾 Guess who’s back! 🐾

After a difficult journey with her much loved labrador Brandy, Jackie is back in the centre and doing what she loves best, treating the many wonderful dogs we have here at Snowys.

Jackie has many accomplishments under her belt, which includes Galen Myotherapy, this is a practice that uses specialised massage techniques and rehabilitative exercises as a form of effective pain management

Here you can see Lopsy, the 14-year-old rescue, thoroughly enjoying his treatment. Unfortunately, when Lopsy was younger he suffered severe injuries which lead to the amputation of his left hind. His usual Saturday normal consists of a session in the pool with one of our qualified hydro therapists to aid with mobility, however due to compensation over time, Lopsy started to become tight over the shoulders and neck. Our skilled team devised a treatment plan to also incorporate massage which will rebalance the muscle and help Lopsy feel more comfortable in his senior years! 🐶

Thinking Therapy Thursday!

Think! 🤔 – How can Snowy’s Help Your Dog?

Therapy! 👐🏼 – Snowy’s provide a multitude of modalities to help your pet

Thursday! ⭐️ – Thermal Imaging Camera Introduction.

We are thrilled to announce our new IR 640 Infrared Camera and Tablet system, which will enhance our ability to support and optimise our treatment plans for each client, ensuring the best possible care. This piece of technology will detect early-stage issues such as inflammation. The thermal imaging capabilities are especially useful for canine athletes, as they often face unique physical demands and injuries. Early detection of issues can prevent minor problems from becoming major setbacks, keeping these athletes in peak condition.

We are so excited about the possibilities this brings for Snowy’s and our clients!

If you feel that the thermal imaging camera may help your dog, please feel free to get in touch where one of the team would be more than happy to discuss this further.

Meet the new kid on the block!🐾

Woody began his hydrotherapy journey with us today following a ruptured cruciate ligament injury. He recently began LASER therapy too and he will have the treatments combined as part of his tailored plan to help aid with his recovery.

Woody took to the treadmill very well and the use of some treats, along with lots of cuddles from the therapists between his sets really helped to make him feel at home. Go Woody!🐶
