Canine rehabilitation is not just about recovering from injury, but did you know I also teach K9 Conditioning classes in Summerside and Charlottetown?

New Member Alert!!!!

As a licensed physiotherapist with a Diploma in Canine Rehabilitation, I’m passionate about helping small animals regain mobility and improve their quality of life. Since graduating from Dalhousie University in 2011, I’ve gained extensive experience in diverse settings across PEI, including hospitals and home-based care. My advanced training spans Orthopedic and Neurological conditions, Cancer Rehabilitation, and Vestibular therapy.

When we’re in pain or injured, we seek out the best care—our pets deserve the same. As a key member of your pet’s healthcare team, I work hand-in-hand with you and your veterinarian to address conditions like hip dysplasia, arthritis, disc disease, and CCL tears, ensuring your furry companion gets the tailored care they need.



Together, we can help your beloved companion recover from injury and get back to doing what they love most. From playful puppies to cherished senior pets, I’m here to support your family member every step of the way.

With the fall chill setting in and winter on the way, don't let your dog's fitness hibernate!

Canine conditioning offers incredible benefits for every dog, whether you have an active dog athlete or a sweet, slightly snuggly couch potato; a few minutes a day can improve strength, balance, and joint health, making the transition to lower-activity months smoother and safer.

Keep those tails wagging and muscles working!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supported ElderDog's Pawd in the Park today! Stepping outside my comfort zone to give these presentations is always worth it when I see your passion. I especially appreciate the fantastic feedback after my talk! My goal is to empower you with simple, effective steps to improve your senior dog's life. If even one person takes away a helpful tip, we’ve made the world a better, more comfortable place for our cherished pets.

I'm putting together a group order for canine fitness equipment to help you save on shipping costs. This is a great opportunity to get some useful tools to continue your dog's conditioning and rehabilitation at home.

I'm looking to order the following:

Cavaletti Cones and Poles: The 21" tall cones come in five colors. They are sold as a set of two cones and one pole for $26.95. I recommend a minimum of four cones and two poles to get the most out of your at-home exercises.

FitPaws Balance Discs: These are the inflatable discs, Fit Bones, etc. we've used in class to help improve core strength and stability.

K9 Fitness Equipment: We can also order the MVP Plank and the MVP Box. Both of these pieces of equipment are highly versatile, each offering at least seven different ways to be used in your training. I've attached images for your reference.

If you're interested in joining the group order, please reply to this email with the items you'd like by Friday, September 26th. If you're not sure what would be best for your dog or need help with sizing, just let me know, and I can help you decide.

Once I have everyone's requests, I will contact each of you individually with your final total and an invoice.

Let me know if you have any questions!

What a weekend! We were thrilled to be at the scent trial, where we had the pleasure of meeting so many of you at our booth.

Thank you to every single person who stopped by to ask such wonderful and insightful questions about canine physio and rehabilitation. It was a joy to see so many of you prioritizing your pet's long-term health, especially by asking about the safe and correct use of FitPaws equipment.

On a personal note, it was an extra special weekend as my own dogs, Zoey and Nova, were competing! I'm incredibly proud of both my girls for their improvements and new PBs!!!It just goes to show how rewarding it is to invest in your dog's wellness journey!
