Meet the gorgeous Bonnie 💕
Her outlook wasn’t great at first, but with the right management, physiotherapy, and a devoted family behind her, she’s truly found her bounce again 🐾

A mix of manual therapy, laser treatment, and targeted rehab exercises has helped her get to this point — and we’re not done yet!

Just look how happy she is to be moving freely again 🩵

Two simple but effective exercises for dogs with hip dysplasia 🐾⬇️

🔸 Sit to Stand – basically a doggy squat! Great for building strength in the muscles that support the hips.
🔸 Lie & Lure Forwards – an active-assisted stretch that helps work the limb at its end range.

⚠️ These exercises should always be done on a NON SLIP SURFACE & under the guidance of your vet or physio to make sure they’re safe and effective for your dog.

For more information, drop me a DM 📩

🟤 ⚠️ Acorn Toxicity Alert for Horse Owners ⚠️ 🟤

We've recently seen a spike in veterinary cases due to horses ingesting acorns 🍂—a result of recent high winds and heavy acorn yields this season.

👉 While acorns are naturally bitter, some horses develop a taste for them—with potentially fatal consequences.

⚠️ Acorns, leaves & branches contain tannins, which can lead to:

Gastrointestinal damage

Colic

Bloody diarrhoea

Kidney injury

Lethargy, inappetence, and more

🚫 What you can do:

Avoid grazing in areas with fallen acorns

Rake & remove acorns promptly

Fence off affected grazing

Provide extra forage where grass is limited

Signs to watch for:
🔹 Acorn husks in droppings
🔹 Colic symptoms
🔹 Blood-stained diarrhoea
🔹 Lethargy, fever, dehydration

📞 If you notice any of these signs, contact your vet immediately. Quick treatment can make all the difference.

🚶‍♂️🐾 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!

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. 💛
