Layla was diagnosed with IVDD (slipped disc) in her neck which they operated on. She started her rehab journey with us in hospital already and is doing super at home now! 🐾

Cody is a Dachshund that was diagnosed with IVDD (slipped disc in his back) His owners opted for the conservative route rather than doing surgery. He's had intensive physiotherapy and care at home to get him to where he is today. We are extremely proud of how far he has come! 🐾

It’s time for feel good Friday! This amazing video testimony just goes to show the great and quick effect that essential oils have on dogs. We mixed a calming blend for her and she’s a different dog! She even comes asking for the oils by herself 🐾
Thank you Sasha Wein for sharing!

A little bit of an educational post. Ever wondered what an FCE is? Take a look at Stoffel that we recently treated for exactly that 🐾
Thank you Fourways Vet Hospital for the referral!

Very interesting indeed..

“These two boys are from the same parents, boy on the left was paediatric neutered and the other has stayed intact. As you can see, the development the right pup has compared to the left is undeniable, from his skull width, to his chest and shoulders.
This is the development pups will lose out on when desexing before full maturity.”

This is something everyone should see.

When you get your 8/10 week old puppies, please keep this image in mind. Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod around so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movement because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons, ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet.

When you run them excessively or don't restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period you don't give them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in.

But when you're letting puppy jump up and down off the lounge or bed, take them for long walks/hikes, you are damaging that forming joint. When you let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction you are damaging the joint.

You only get the chance to grow them once. A well built body is something that comes from excellent breeding and a great upbringing-BOTH, not just one.

Once grown you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they're still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once.

We often hear “He’s been such an active dog all his life, he’s been running with me since a puppy. I can’t understand why he has problems now” It’s hard having a young, boisterous, energetic puppy in the house and not taking it for a run. Before 18 months of age you can actually do a whole lot of damage to their growing skeleton. We loved this illustration of safe exercises at different ages from the balanced dog and thought it wise to share 🐾

When a tennis ball is your WHOLE life 🎾

Obviously not impressed with us making her wear a 'princess bun' to keep her ears dry in the underwater treadmill for her session. Must say, it was quite the entertainment! 😆

Hazel absolutely loving her acupuncture treatment this morning! Falling asleep in Dr Marisa's hands 🥰
