๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ Go Jakob, Go Jakob! ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’ช

Meet Jakob, our amazing 10-year-old Staffie whoโ€™s been working hard with our veterinary physiotherapist Becky to manage hind limb weakness โ€” and what a transformation! ๐ŸŒŸ

Since starting his tailored treatment plan, Jakobโ€™s mum has noticed a real improvement in his mobility and mood, and even his dog walker has commented on how much better heโ€™s moving. ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’›

โœจ Jakobโ€™s treatment plan includes:

* Full veterinary musculoskeletal assessment
* Home adaptations for comfort and safety
* Prescribed remedial exercises
* Weekly underwater treadmill sessions ๐Ÿ’ฆ
* Andโ€ฆ heโ€™s lost 1kg in just under one month! ๐Ÿ‘

Such incredible progress, Jakob โ€” youโ€™re proof that dedication and teamwork really pay off! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿ’ฆ

After his therapy session, Marley is enjoying the best part โ€” his blow-dry with therapist Susan! ๐Ÿงก

He loves to move his head into the warm air (who doesnโ€™t love a little spa moment after a workout? ๐Ÿ’ฆ). The perfect end to a great session โ€” relaxed, cosy, and full of treats.

โšซโšช Building Confidence โ€” Archieโ€™s Treadmill Journey โšซโšช

When Archie the Dalmatian first met the underwater treadmill, he was unsure and nervous โ€” needing lots of support to help him feel safe and stay straight. Too many hands can sometimes make a dog feel overwhelmed, so our priority was to give Archie a sense of **control and security**.

Through **patient, gentle sessions**, weโ€™ve worked to make the experience positive:
๐Ÿ’› Using noodles at the front** instead of holding him tightly
๐Ÿ’› Therapist seated, using legs as gentle โ€œscaffoldingโ€ or bumper lanes to help his hips stay aligned
๐Ÿ’› Minimal handling so he feels confident and calm

Now Archie is much more comfortable and balanced with minimal help โ€” a huge step forward! ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿพ

Weโ€™re delighted with your progress, Archie, and canโ€™t wait to keep improving your gait and eventually move you into the pool! ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐Ÿ‘

๐Ÿ“ฃ Important update from the veterinary sector โ€“ and what it means for our clients

The CMA has recently published provisional findings from its market investigation into veterinary services for household pets in the UK. ๐Ÿพ

Key highlights from the report:
โ€ข The CMA found that many veterinary practices may not be giving pet owners enough clear information about prices, treatment options, or who owns the practice.
โ€ข Prices for veterinary services (and medicines) have risen significantly โ€” in some cases well ahead of inflation.
โ€ข Because of concerns about weak competition (especially in areas dominated by large veterinary groups) and an outdated regulatory framework, the CMA is proposing remedies that would legally require practices to publish pricing, provide itemised fees, and give clearer ownership information.

โธป

At Vet Rehab NI, we want to reassure our clients of the following:
โ€ข From day one, weโ€™ve been fully transparent with our pricing โ€” our fees are clearly displayed on our website and included in the welcome email sent to all new clients.
โ€ข Weโ€™re committed to ensuring you always understand what youโ€™re paying for, why, and what alternatives may exist.
โ€ข The CMAโ€™s investigation outcomes only strengthen our dedication to clarity, fairness, and choice for every client and their pet.

โธป

Weโ€™re proud to be a small business, independently owned by a veterinary surgeon and hydrotherapist, who โ€” alongside our dedicated team โ€” strive to provide individualised, compassionate care for every patient that walks (or swims!) through our doors. ๐Ÿถ๐Ÿ’™

We believe that a truly client-centred veterinary service is built on trust, transparency, and communication. If you have any questions about our pricing, treatment options, or anything else, please reach out โ€” weโ€™re always happy to help.

๐Ÿ’™ Thank you for your continued trust in the Vet Rehab NI team ๐Ÿ’™

๐Ÿ’คโœจ Sleepy Time for Fudge โœจ๐Ÿ’ค

Our gorgeous chocolate Labrador, Fudge, knows how to relax! Here he is enjoying **medical laser therapy** with our veterinary physiotherapist Becky โ€” so comfy and calm he could nod off mid-treatment ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’›.

Laser therapy is gentle, non-invasive, and deeply soothing โ€” perfect for helping dogs like Fudge, who benefit from multiple treatment modalities across physiotherapy and hydrotherapy.

โœจ Why laser therapy helps Fudge:

* Reduces pain & inflammation in sore joints and muscles
* Promotes healing and tissue repair
* Improves circulation and mobility
* Enhances comfort, making other therapies even more effective

Combining laser, physiotherapy, and hydrotherapy gives Fudge the best chance to stay strong, mobile, and happy for years to come.

Weโ€™re proud to say Fudge is supported by The Barn Animal Rescue ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’™ โ€” and weโ€™re so grateful for the trust his mummy puts in us to care for her boy ๐ŸคŽ.
