How gorgeous is Falkor! He is a 3 month old Bergamasco Shepherd Dog 😍

Falkor’s mum brought him to BARC to get used to all things physio and to set him up for wins in the future 🙌🏻

Falkor did a fantastic job throughout his initial assessment, including his first go in the underwater treadmill 💪🏻

Keep up the great work Falkor and mum! 🐾✨

How gorgeous is little Peggy-Sue! 🥰

She is an almost 17 y.o. Maltese x Shih Tzu x Jack Russell.

Peggy-Sue is attending BARC to help keep her comfortable and remain as mobile as possible in her senior years ✨

She took to everything swimmingly in her first session. You certainly can teach an old dog new tricks ☺️

This magnificent man is Marshall, an 8 y.o. Jack Russell x Fox Terrier.

Marshall is coming to BARC to build his strength and optimise his mobility following fracture and dislocation of his left back leg 🩹

Getting used to physio has been slightly different for Marshall as he is blind (has been since birth). He is an absolute trooper nonetheless 🙌🏻

We are pleased with his progress so far and look forward to supporting him as he continues to get stronger! 💪🏻

Keep up the great work Marshall and mum 🐾✨

This delightful gentleman is Lucky, a 14 y.o. Golden Retriever x Poodle x Australian Cattle Dog.

Lucky is attending BARC to keep him moving freely and comfortable in his senior years 😌

He has very much made himself at home in the clinic, which is always lovely to see 🥰

Keep up the great work Lucky and family 🐾✨

We wanted to say a big thank you to our lovely clients who were able to accommodate some very short notice rescheduling this week due to the bushfire risk.

We also want to thank our beautiful clients that checked in to see if we were safe and offered their assistance. We are grateful to be surrounded by such wonderful people.

We did have to evacuate Friday afternoon, but are very grateful that the fire was able to be controlled before getting any closer to us.

Our thoughts go out to all that have been affected by these devastating bushfires.

Thank you to the CFA and emergency services that are working tirelessly to protect our community ❤️
