Please do not buy. Throw them away if your dog gets one as a gift. Giving rawhide to a dog is never a good idea.

Many of these so called treats end up with the dog "enjoying" some time in a veterinary surgery over Christmas. The vast majority of these rawhide products and treats come from China.

The chews are made from cattle or horse hides and their journey starts with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulfide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are used in order to split the hide into layers which is then washed with hydrogen peroxide to give the white "pure" look and remove the rancid smell.

Now comes the pretty festive colors and the glue to form cute shapes. On testing, these chews have shown traces of arsenic, mercury, chromium and formaldehyde.

If that wasn't bad enough, they regularly cause intestinal blockages, poisoning from chemical residue and choking. The chews go slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save a choking dog.

Did you know..

Hydrotherapy can be an effective treatment for dogs with arthritis, offering several benefits through low-impact exercise in water. The buoyancy of water helps reduce the strain on joints, making it easier for dogs to move without bearing their full body weight.

Regular hydrotherapy can greatly enhance a dog’s quality of life, especially when combined with other treatments like medications, physical therapy, and dietary changes. Any concerns regarding your dogs health we recommend you always consult with your vet first 🐾

Does your dog have arthritis? If so keep reading…. How can hydrotherapy benefit dogs with arthritis? It provides resistance to build muscle without stressing joints. Hydrotherapy allows dogs to exercise in water, which supports their weight and reduces joint stress while providing resistance to build muscle strength. Helping to keep your dog fit and healthy 🐾 For more information call 07889902400

Atlas loves his toy after his water treadmill session, he would love to have it the whole time but he hasn’t mastered walking and holding it just yet 🐾

What is hip dysplasia and how can hydrotherapy help? Hip dysplasia is the commonest orthopaedic condition in dogs. It most frequently affects large rapidly growing dogs, although small dogs and cats can also be affected. The onset of clinical signs is variable, but hip dysplasia is most commonly diagnosed between 6 and 12 months of age. The clinical signs are very variable and include stiffness, exercise intolerance, difficulty getting up or lying down, problems climbing stairs, and gait abnormalities, including limping on one or both back legs. Hydrotherapy, in particular, the underwater treadmill can be a useful tool for strengthening specific muscles and improving gait patterns. The buoyancy of the water provides support to the body which in turn reduces the load on the affected joints whilst exercising the necessary muscles. Aims for rehabilitation Reduce pain Strengthen the affected muscles Improve and maintain soft tissue flexibility Improve and maintain range of movement Enhance gait patterning Please call if you think your dog could benefit from hydrotherapy. 07889902400

How cute is Boff 🥰 Boff is a 12 year old Yorkshire Terrier who was referred by The Ralph for hydrotherapy following his diagnosis of elbow dysplasia, Boff also has osteoarthritis in multiple joints.

Let’s talk Prehab (pre surgical rehabilitation) If able, the main purpose of prehab prior to surgery is to improve outcomes after the operation, for the dog to be able to have a higher level of function and ability, and potentially even heal quicker. Hydrotherapy can be used for prehab and can aid in; 🐶 Helping with weight loss in over weight dogs along side a balanced diet 🐶 increased muscle mass 🐶 Improve joint range of movement 🐶 pain relief 🐶 reduced weight bearing on joints 🐶 reduce swelling 🐶 mental stimulation if on reduced exercise.

Did you know ….. That most pet insurance companies will cover hydrotherapy treatments making it affordable to bring your dog or cat for their sessions.

Codie showing you some of the many benefits of hydrotherapy. 💦🐶

What is hydrotherapy? Hydrotherapy is a form of exercise that involves the use of water to aid in rehabilitation, conditioning, and relaxation. It can be a useful treatment option for dogs who have suffered an injury, undergone surgery, or have a chronic condition that affects their mobility. The Underwater treadmill involves walking on a treadmill that is submerged in water. The buoyancy of the water reduces the amount of weight that the dog has to support, which can make it easier for them to walk and improve range of motion. Hydrotherapy can be a beneficial treatment option for a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, cruciate ligament injuries and spinal cord injuries.

How can hydrotherapy help your dog with arthritis? 🐶 Buoyancy from the water reduces the impact on degenerative joints and supports sore or weak joints, which is variable by water height. 🐶Controlled temperature where warmth improves circulation and aids relaxation, reducing muscle and joint pain. 🐶Hydrostatic pressure improves circulation and reduces swelling, aiding the healing process. 🐶 Can aid in gait re education avoiding secondary conditions.
