From 1st September, Cotswold Animal Therapy will be having a re-brand, due to some slight changes in the work we do (more working dog focused) and due to a relocation.

Over the next few months, you'll see new branding on this page. The old website will disappear for a while whilst a new one is developed over the next six months or so.

For now, my contact details remain the same and any patients affected by the relocation have been contacted.

For patients in the Cotswolds area, where I was previously based, please contact Parkview Chiropractic Clinic and Melanie Savile and she will be able to assist anyone needing musculoskeletal treatments, rehabilitation, or laser therapy in my old area.

Ralph, I’ve loved rehabbing you but no more surgeries please 😂

It’s so lovely to see Ralph looking strong and fit- a fab example of how hydrotherapy fits perfectly into a physio rehab plan.

Look at Ralph’s squishy face 🥰

Poor Ralph has had numerous orthopaedic surgeries now, but has bounced back every time with the help of the underwater treadmill at Canactive 💪🏻

So much so, that Ralph is living his best life canicrossing with his owner again, taking it steady but very much enjoying being out and active 🐾

If you’d like to know more about how we can help your dog live their best life following surgery, get in touch 💻

** GRAPHIC IMAGES of a wound **

This is why I love using laser so much as a modality. This wound looked like the first picture on Sunday, where it had broken down. On Tuesday it looked like the second picture, after lasering four times.

Lots of Healthy granulation tissue and the wound is contracting nicely.

As an RVN I’ve seen so many wounds that are just slow to heal, get so far and they’ll get tired, or have broken down for whatever reason. Laser isn’t a magical cure-all, and isn’t suitable for every case, but in suitable patients, it can help upregulate the cell metabolism and help with fibroblast production, speeding up healing.

I’ll continue to laser this long after it’s sealed over- there will be scar tissue and probably some deeper healing that will continue to happen once it looks to the outside eye like it’s healed. I’ll also be doing manual work on the area to help with the scar tissue and fascia.

The spaniels and I have spend the morning with the lovely Fran at DforDaycare checking out their new site and doggy daycare facilities

Fran has set up a small, personalised daycare service where dogs can have a fun and relaxed day in a beautiful setting.

If you’re local and need someone experienced, sensible, and qualified - Fran is your woman!

Head over to their page or give Fran a shout for a guided tour. We will hopefully be collaborating for some mantrailing sessions later in the year, getting more dog enthusiasts hooked on this fun dog sport!
