Mend Veterinary Rehabilitation

My thoughts go out to everyone affected by the severe weather we're experiencing in our beautiful city 💔 Who would have thought the last 48 hours could have been so devastating 🌧

My family and I are very grateful to have weathered the storm well, I am currently at home with my children due to the school closures. If there are further closures then I may have to reschedule some of my lovely patients. I'll try my best to avoid inconveniencing anyone in what is turning out to be quite an unexpected turn of events.

Take care and stay warm 🤍🐾

Our website is expected to be down for maintenance from tomorrow (11th March). I'm unsure how long the website will be down for, but rest assured that Mend will be continuing BUSINESS AS USUAL. If you're wanting rehab for your pet, please email, call, or message through social media. If you are a veterinarian wanting to refer a patient, please just email a short summary as well as the patient's clinical history through to info@mendvetrehab.co.nz.

Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause!

Check out gorgeous Pickle - her mum is Katy, the owner of Pupper Hutt Hydrotherapy Clinic. Pickle was recently diagnosed with hip dysplasia, and Katy and I are collaborating on her care to ensure she's as comfy and fit as she can be. This industry is all about caring, and that includes the patients who really aren't sure they want our help (like Pickle!). That's okay, Pickle, the love on my end is guaranteed 🩷

Next move for us was to engage with the wonderful Dr Lauren Bleaken at . Lauren is a fully qualified vet specialising in rehabilitation and she has given Pickle an individualised rehab plan consisting of stretches, exercises, getting Pickle moving safely and strengthening her muscles and her body overall. 🐾🐾

We are GOING AHEAD! For those of who reached out, I am very pleased to announce that our agility clinic has gotten enough interest for us to go ahead.

As you all likely know, I'm a bit mad about agility and sporting dogs. These dogs give their all, so what better way to show them our appreciation than to make sure they're feeling great and are in tip-top condition!

THE DETAILS:
Date: this Thursday, 16th October
Time: onsite from 4pm onwards, schedule an appointment or head on by.
Location: DAWG

The fine print:
🐾 Each booking will get a maximum of 30 minutes for a complete musculoskeletal examination with a registered veterinarian with qualifications in veterinary sports medicine and rehabilitation (me!)
🐾 Cost: $110 per dog
🐾 Treatment: Includes laser and manual therapy and massage as time allows. Home exercise/conditioning programmes not included.
🐾This clinic isn't intended for dogs with known injuries, as it will be difficult to give them the care they require in this sort of environment. If you're not sure if this is the right option for your dog, reach out and we can have a chat about it!
