People often ask what it’s like to be a canine physiotherapist. 🐾

Our days are filled with hands-on treatment, targeted rehabilitation exercises, electrotherapies, movement assessments, conversations with vets and other professionals, and yes… a fair few late-night emails and late appointments.

But it’s also the emotional side that people don’t always see. It’s the conversations with you, hearing your stories, sharing the highs and lows. When you’re worried, we worry with you. When you’re celebrating progress, we’re celebrating too. And when the time comes to say goodbye to a dog we’ve come to know and love… we feel that loss with you.

Your dogs are part of our week, part of our conversations, and part of why we do what we do 💕

Meet Mr Barry! 🐾💙

Barry came to us following a hemilaminectomy, spinal surgery used to relieve pressure on the spinal cord, often following a slipped or herniated disc.

As part of his rehab, we were able to fit Barry with his very own wheels 🛞, giving him more freedom to get out, exercise and explore. We can also provide braces and other mobility aids where appropriate, tailored to each dog’s needs.

But even without his wheels, Barry has done very well and continues to amaze us with his progress!

He also makes us laugh every single visit, leaving with a cheesy chin and plenty of belly tickles! 😂🧀🐾

🐶 Meet Betty

Betty came to us in May following a fractured patella. Fractures can take time to heal, and physiotherapy can play an important role in the recovery process. Treatment can help support healing, maintain and rebuild muscle strength, improve mobility and gradually restore normal movement, helping patients get back to doing the things they love.

And as if being a physio superstar wasn’t enough… Betty also takes home our Best Dressed Dog Award! 🏆🎩😂

We think you’ll agree, she wears it very well! 💕

What a summer it’s been! ☀️💗

We just want to say a huge thank you for keeping us so wonderfully busy! 🥰 Between the heatwaves, our new air con and everything else summer has thrown at us, we’ve just about made it through! 😂

We’ll be taking a short break from treatments and we will be back from Tuesday 8th September.

In the meantime, our lovely Emma will be behind the scenes, keeping an eye on our emails. You may not always see Emma, but she does so much behind the scenes to help everything run smoothly, so we’re very lucky to have her!

See you all in September! 💕 give all your dogs a cuddle from us 🐶🐾

Nelly may be an older lady, but that doesn’t mean she can’t enjoy her walks! 🐾

This was Nelly on her holiday in the Netherlands 🇳🇱. Her lovely owners made sure she still got out and about, while keeping her comfortable and preventing fatigue and joint pain. When Nelly needs a rest, she gets the VIP treatment in her very own bike stroller! 🥹

As physiotherapists, we always encourage appropriate exercise because it’s all about finding the right balance.

P.s How cute does she look?! 🥰🐶

Steph & Diana are Canine First Aid Trained!

But what does this actually mean for you and your dog? 🐶❤️

It means that while we always do everything we can to keep your dog safe, we’re also prepared to respond calmly and confidently should an accident or emergency happen.

From minor injuries and cuts to recognising signs that your dog may need urgent veterinary attention, our Canine First Aid training gives us the knowledge and skills to provide appropriate first aid while getting the right veterinary help when needed. 🩹🐾

Your dog’s safety, comfort and wellbeing are always our top priority and having two trained team members means extra peace of mind for you. 💙

☀️ 🧊 ANNOUNCEMENT 🧊 ☀️

We are BEYOND pleased to report that we have had industrial air conditioning fitted in the clinic today!

We can all agree this summer has been warmer than all of us have ever intended. Your dog’s comfort in the clinic comes first for us - and we are so pleased to report it’s a chilly 16 degrees! 🌡️ 🧊

As you can see from the pictures, Steph is so happy she could cry happy tears 🥹 … about air conditioning!

A huge thanks to Daniel and Steve for putting us at the top of their list and doing everything they could over the last 10 weeks to make this happen for us. They kindly prioritised the clinic because they knew we were struggling to keep it cool for you all. Without a doubt two incredibly genuine men who have restored Steph’s faith in tradesmen.

👀 Look closely… can you spot the difference in spinal posture?

Something as simple as where your dog’s food bowl sits can change the way they position their whole body while eating.

A bowl on the floor encourages many dogs to drop their head, flex through the neck and spine, and shift their weight onto their front end. Over time, this can place more demand on the shoulders and forelimbs.

Now picture a dog already dealing with joint stiffness, osteoarthritis, reduced mobility, or a shoulder injury…that extra effort may make mealtimes more challenging.

A raised bowl helps bring food closer to a more natural standing position, supporting better posture and reducing unnecessary strain.

Does your dog have a raised bowl? 🤔
