Celebrating our 5th anniversary already. Where does the time go?
I've met some amazing pets and owners all on different journey's. Some recovering after major surgery and rehabilitation. Others growing old gracefully and staying comfortable through that journey.
I've shed tears with a few of you, that have reached the end of the road and its time to let them fly high.
Thank you to each and every one of you, that have trusted me to treat your best friends and join you on your journeys.
Here is to the next 5 years. 🍾

MYTH: Dogs with arthritis will always cry or limp if they’re in pain.

✅ Fact:
Many dogs with arthritis don’t cry out or limp, and that can be misleading.
Instead, they often show much subtler signs of pain, like hesitating to go for walks, struggling to get up after resting, avoiding stairs, or simply seeming "not themselves."

You might notice they’re less playful, more withdrawn, or sleeping more than usual. These changes are easy to dismiss as “just getting older,” but they’re often quiet signals that your dog is in pain and needs help.

Recognising these signs early is key to improving their comfort and quality of life.

Gorgeous buddy is 5 Weeks post op TPLO surgery and is recovering well with the help of Hydrotherapy in the underwater treadmill.

(TPLO surgery, or Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy, is a surgical procedure for dogs to treat cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) tears, a common cause of hind leg lameness. It involves cutting the tibia bone and rotating the tibial plateau to change the angle of the stifle joint, stabilizing it with a plate and screws. This procedure aims to reduce the need for the damaged CCL and restore stability to the knee joint.)

MYTH: "If my dog’s arthritis isn’t severe, they don’t need treatment."

FACT: Even mild arthritis can cause significant pain and discomfort for your dog 🐶 The effects of arthritis are often gradual, but left untreated, it can worsen over time, making it harder to manage.

✨ Why early treatment matters: Managing arthritis early can slow the progression of joint damage, helping to preserve your dog’s mobility and comfort. The goal is to minimise pain and improve their quality of life..

💡 By addressing arthritis sooner rather than later, you can reduce the impact of long-term joint damage and keep your dog feeling their best for years to come.

If you notice any signs of stiffness, limping, or reluctance to move, it’s time to talk to your vet. Early intervention is key! 💙
