🚶‍♂️🐾 Lead walking isn’t boring – it’s brilliant!

So many people see it as “just a way to get from A → B” but in reality, lead walking is one of the BEST things you can do for your dog’s health.

✅ You control the pace (keeping joints & muscles safe)
✅ You can build rehab exercises into your daily walk (sit ↔ stand, kerbs, gentle hills)
✅ It keeps your dog’s brain switched on & reduces the risk of injury

Next time you clip the lead on, remember – you’re not “just walking”… you’re building strength, connection & resilience 💪🐶

Would you agree your dog benefits more from a structured walk than a mad run in the park? 👇

But they look fine to me…” 🐾
Dogs are masters of disguise — especially when it comes to pain.
They can be running, wagging, and playing… yet still be sore, stiff, or struggling.

Here’s why you might miss the signs:
1️⃣ Instinct – In the wild, showing weakness makes them vulnerable.
2️⃣ Your eye isn’t trained – Subtle changes are easy to miss unless you know what to look for.
3️⃣ Adrenaline – Excitement hides discomfort in the moment.

💡 If something feels “off,” even without obvious limping, trust your gut and get them checked.
Early intervention = less pain, faster recovery, happier dog. 🐶❤️

📲 Save this for later & share it with another dog owner who needs to see it!

🐾 How long should I walk my dog for? 🐶
It depends on their age, breed & energy levels! As a general guide:
🦴 Puppies: 5 mins per month of age, up to 2x/day
🏃‍♂️ Adults: 30–60 mins daily
🐕‍🦺 Seniors: Shorter, more frequent strolls

Every dog is different — listen to their body and adjust as needed! 💬

Three legs and full of bounce! 🐾 This amazing pup comes for regular physio every 6 weeks to keep him feeling his best. His owner knows to bring him sooner if there’s any change in how he moves or behaves. Nothing holds this boy back!

🐶✨ Post-surgery zoomies are a goal — but first, rehab! ✨🐾

Just like us, dogs need time, care, and a proper physiotherapy plan to bounce back after surgery.

From rebuilding strength to easing pain and regaining mobility, physio is the key to getting those tails wagging again! 💪🐕💖

Bruce’s happy update! 🐾
Bruce’s owner noticed he was slowing down and reluctant to go on walks — even when his favourite friend next door came to play.

We created a tailored exercise plan, made some simple adjustments at home to support him, and included laser therapy sessions to aid his recovery.

Now Bruce is loving his walks again! 🐕✨

If your dog is starting to slow down or seems less keen to move, physiotherapy can help keep them comfortable and active. 💛

Are you a horse rider based in the UK? We want to hear from you!
We are inviting people who take part in horse riding within the UK to tell us about their experiences of warming up horses before exercise.
The study is being undertaken by Veterinary Physiotherapy postgraduate student Amy as part of her master's degree at the University of Liverpool.
This study is aimed at anyone who rides horses or ponies in a non-professional capacity (where riding is not their primary source of income). You don’t have to have a regular warm-up routine with your horse to participate as all answers are extremely valuable for this research.
If you would like to participate, the questionnaire should take no longer than 10-20 minutes to complete (and it is completely anonymous). Please click on the link below or scan the QR code in the image and read through the information sheet before completing the online survey.
https://app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/liverpool/current-warm-up-practices-of-horse-riders-in-the-uk
Thank you in advance for participating. Your involvement is invaluable in helping us improve our understanding of this important topic.

Why Do Dogs Need Physiotherapy? 🐾

Just like us, dogs can suffer from injuries, arthritis, muscle imbalances, or post-op stiffness. Physiotherapy helps reduce pain, improve mobility, and speed up recovery—so your dog can get back to doing what they love most! 🐶💪

Whether it’s a working dog, a senior pet, or a pup bouncing back from surgery, physio plays a key role in keeping them happy and healthy.

A few interesting cases from this week in the clinic and out on the yard:
• Angular limb deformities
• Ulcers or lameness… or maybe both?
• Helping our golden oldies thrive
• Swerving laminitis before it strikes
• Managing hip dysplasia with care

Plus a few extras that kept me on my toes!
I love the challenge of working with these incredible animals — no two cases are ever the same, and that’s exactly what makes this job so rewarding.
