Hi everyone, I just wanted to make a quick post to let you all know that we had to make the devastating decision to say goodbye to Rue this afternoon. Most of you will know that she was diagnosed with lymphoma a couple of months ago and she has fought bravely ever since while we did everything we could to try to give her more time and make sure she was happy and well. She had been doing great up until the last couple of days when she started to deteriorate and today she let us know she’d had enough.

I am of course completely heartbroken and devastated, so please bear with me over the next few days or so as I will probably be slower to respond and sort things out.

Thank you to everyone who came over and said hello, took leaflets and/or bought treats from my little stand at the Canin...

Thank you to everyone who came over and said hello, took leaflets and/or bought treats from my little stand at the Canine Country Fayre yesterday. It was lovely to chat to so many different people and their dogs throughout the day. I am, however, thoroughly exhausted today and have been enjoying a nice relaxing day off with my own dogs before getting back to work again tomorrow.

If I get the chance, I will look at potentially attending a few more shows throughout this year so watch this space!

Only one day to go! If you’re free and fancy a fun day out with your dog, come along and say hi! We’ll have plenty of natural dog treats and chews as well as shampoos and drying coats for sale. Plus there’ll be freebies and I’ll be on hand to chat about all things physio and hydro and show off the equipment we have to offer.

**This week only, 10% off block bookings of 5 sessions**

Ending midnight Sunday 22nd March, I’m offering a limited time discount of 10% on block bookings of 5 sessions when paid in full. These can be physio, hydro or combined physio and hydro sessions. Payments accepted via BACS or card or cash at your appointment. Block bookings are non-refundable and all sessions must take place within 6 months, unless under extenuating circumstances. These are still claimable on insurance policies, but they will generally state that you can only submit a claim once all of the sessions have taken place.

Looking back at last month, these are the top 5 conditions I saw most frequently for physiotherapy and/or hydrotherapy. This can be further broken down by breed, with miniature dachshunds most commonly seen for IVDD and Labradors most commonly seen for hip and elbow dysplasia. Luxating patella was most frequently seen in small dog breeds, such as poodles and their crosses and terriers. Meanwhile, osteoarthritis can unfortunately affect any breed at some stage in their life, with the majority of the aforementioned conditions eventually resulting in secondary arthritic changes. Did you know that at least 80% of dogs over the age of 8 suffer from arthritis to some extent?

I’ll be attending the Blake House Canine Country Fayre next Sunday 22nd March so if you’re free and fancy a fun day out with your dog, please come along and say hello! I’ll be available to chat about all things physiotherapy and hydrotherapy and show off the equipment and services we have available in the clinic to help and support your pets. I’ll also have a selection of natural dog treats and chews and our Ruff and Tumble drying coats available for purchase.

Just a quick notice to apologise for the delay in sending out invoices, appointment reminders, insurance claims etc this week. I am in the process of catching up on everything and aim to be back up to date by the end of the week, but this is just a heads up that things may still take slightly longer in the meantime.

Unfortunately we have had a bit of stressful week here after Rue was unexpectedly diagnosed with lymphoma. As you can imagine, it’s been a difficult few days with a lot to take in and process. Thankfully she is under the excellent care of and started her chemotherapy treatment first thing yesterday morning. So far she has been doing great and has been her usual greedy self and out enjoying walks and running around with the other dogs. We are currently keeping everything crossed that the chemotherapy works and she gets to have a longer, happy life. Naturally we will stop treatment if it ever causes her any suffering, but chemotherapy is generally well-tolerated in dogs and so far you wouldn’t know she’d had anything. Please keep her in your thoughts ❤️

Ronnie was in the clinic this afternoon for his monthly physiotherapy session. He is muzzled due to a history of reactivity but is never a problem during his sessions and always cooperates nicely - even if he looks a bit unimpressed! I am always happy to work with dogs with behavioural issues and different temperaments. It’s a great idea to get your dog used to wearing a muzzle should they ever need one and teaching them to accept being handled and assessed at home can also go a long way towards preparing them for physiotherapy, the vets, groomers and any other hands on situation.

Apologies for any inconvenience but unfortunately we have been without WiFi for the last day and it currently looks as though this could continue through the weekend and into next week due to a collision involving a network telegraph pole. We also have quite poor phone service in this area so as a result I am limited in my ability to keep up with admin and respond to messages and emails. I will do my best to get back to everyone as soon as possible, but there will be delays so please be patient with me.

It’s drying coat season again! Just a little reminder that I stock Ruff and Tumble drying coats for purchase in the clinic. These are great for putting on after your dog’s hydrotherapy session to keep them warm and dry in the colder months. They are also handy after wet and muddy walks, or baths at home. It’s particularly important to prevent older dogs and/or those with orthopaedic issues from getting cold and damp in the winter to avoid any associated joint pain/discomfort.

One of the benefits of buying a drying coat in the clinic is that you can try them on your dog to ensure you get the correct size first time. I only have a limited selection of colours in each size, but I do have most sizes in stock from dachshund sizes to GSD.
