Helping dogs in pain move comfortably again

Is your dog?

  • Slowing down / not interested in going out for a walk

  • Stiff after rest

  • Reluctant to jump on couch or into the car

  • Suddenly grumpy when touched

  • Reactive with you or other dogs/people

  • Anxious

  • Nibbling their body but do not have a skin condition

 

These are often signs of pain — not behaviour or just “getting older.”

Or you may be here because......

• Is limping but the vet cannot find a clear cause
• Has been diagnosed with arthritis or hip dysplasia
• Is recovering from cruciate ligament surgery
• Has become reactive, grumpy or sensitive to touch
• Sits crooked or bunny hops when running

Many owners are told


“it’s just age”


— but most of these are actually treatable pain problems.

 

I help dogs with arthritis, injuries and post-surgery recovery become comfortable and mobile again using gentle, veterinary-approved physiotherapy.

Home visits are provided for all appointments, allowing your dog to be assessed and treated in the comfort of their own home. This is especially helpful for nervous, anxious or reactive dogs.

The earlier we address discomfort, the easier it is to improve your dog’s quality of life.
