Hip dysplasia is one of the most common orthopedic conditions affecting our pets, particularly dogs - but cats can suffer from it too. 🐾
Because pets often adapt to pain gradually, the signs can be easy to overlook until significant arthritis has developed. Learning what to watch for can help your pet receive treatment earlier and stay active and comfortable for longer.
If your fur-baby is suffering from hip dysplasia, and you need help, don't hesitate to reach out to us about our weight management or pain relief physio programs.

Our pets are living longer than ever before, which means we're seeing more age-related conditions such as Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS), often referred to as dementia in pets.
Many of the signs can be subtle at first and are often mistaken for "normal ageing." Understanding the symptoms, the DISHAA assessment, and the important connection between chronic pain and cognitive decline can help owners seek support earlier and improve their pet's quality of life.
Early recognition, appropriate pain management, environmental support, and veterinary guidance can make a significant difference for our senior companions. ❤️🐾 Reach out to us if you have any questions about supporting your ageing pet.

A very very sad goodbye to Blade.
We will always remember him for his sweet, gentle nature, and the extreme patience and calm he brought into every physiotherapy session. He was much loved by his family, and enjoyed curling up beneath a warm blanket for naps, and most of all he loved playing in his ball pit as much as he possibly could. Though he couldn’t see or hear very well, he could always tell when dinner was on the way (if dinner hour approached, he was sure to let you know!) and would make sure he was at the very front of the queue.
Some of his family's most treasured memories are of Blade running alongside his dad on the beach in Cape Town, matching him step for step without ever needing a leash - a perfect little pair, moving together as one. His mom remembers how every attempt to give him a kiss on the nose was met with Blade trying to "eat" it instead.
He loved his walks, provided they didn't involve wet or muddy paws, and he filled his home with countless small moments of joy, comfort, and love. Blade was deeply cherished, and his absence will be felt by all who knew him. We are grateful to have been part of his journey and send our heartfelt condolences to his family during this difficult time.
Run free, sweet boy.
