It’s been a long time coming but we’ve finally partnered up with to offer a once a month clinic specifically for Exempted Dogs! ❤️

Why have we decided to offer this?

Danielle is acutely aware of the impacts of Breed Specific Legislation and has sadly seen first hand the upset and segregation these owners and their dogs suffer - and for what? THE WAY THEY LOOK!

She genuinely believed as a human race we were way beyond judging people and animals based on appearances. But apparently not.

So, Danielle is here for YOU & Your Beautiful Dogs ❤️❤️

One-to-one treatment with a focus of enrichment and socialisation to open up your dogs world & to allow them to access Rehabilitation without fear of judgement ❤️

ALL treatments are 50% off for Exempted Dogs (Exempted dogs CAN NOT be medically insured)

Referral required - Limited spaces available
The last Thursday of each month (First is on 26th September)

For the love of ALL dogs irrespective of Breed ❤️❤️

We have wonderful news! Our Thursday clinics have changed and we are opening up our centre for other like minded & empathic individuals to run their very own clinics from our Award winning centre.

Firstly, we would like to introduce you to Georgia Owen BVMS MRCVS PgCertDent(WBIS) who is holding her very own Acupuncture Clinic on Thursdays from 26th September 2024.

Georgia has been providing Acupuncture for Small Animals for several years and is truly holistic in her approach - treating the patient as a whole to achieve Homeostasis (Whole Body Balance)

She specialises in Anxious pets as well as those pets who need something extra to help naturally manage their pain levels.

Acupuncture is also great for patients with chronic pain - to find out more, message Georgia directly!

13/09/2024

Yes - 100% this! We don’t simply treat patients based on their Diagnoses. We treat the whole body & our goal is to achieve homeostasis (Whole body balance) ❤️

Chronic pain in humans is influenced not just by the disease but by biological, clinical, psychological and socio-demographic factors.

Translating this to companion animals - their own anatomy and physiology, their current and previous trauma as well as co-morbidities, where and how they live, their previous experiences and emotional resilience are likely to influence their perception of their pain.

We have so much to learn…but we are also finding ways to best manage it.

23/08/2024
