You know, it's something I speak about a lot, and it's something we all need to remember when it comes to our dogs: you can't generalise a dog's pain.

Just like humans, every dog experiences pain differently. What might be a minor discomfort for one could be agonizing for another. Their breed, age, individual pain tolerance, and even their unique personality all play a huge role in how they perceive and express pain.

A stoic dog might silently suffer through something that would make a more vocal dog yelp and whine. A playful pup might try to hide their pain to keep playing, while an older dog might become withdrawn. It's so easy to miss the subtle cues – a slight limp, a change in appetite, reluctance to jump, excessive licking, or even just a shift in their usual demeanor.

That's why it's so incredibly important to be attuned to our own dog's specific behaviors and habits. If something seems off, even if you can't quite put your finger on it, it's always worth a call to the vet. They can't tell us in words where it hurts, so it's up to us to be their voice and advocate for their comfort and well-being.

And here's where something truly incredible comes in: veterinary physiotherapy. A qualified veterinary physiotherapist doesn't just guess at the problem. They conduct a full, comprehensive assessment, looking at your dog's gait, posture, muscle symmetry, joint range of motion, and how they move in general. They're trained to pinpoint the exact source of pain or dysfunction, even when it's subtle.

Once they've assessed your dog, they can then create a tailored treatment plan using a variety of modalities like massage, therapeutic exercise, manual therapies, laser therapy, and pulsed magnetic field therapy. These treatments can help to reduce pain, improve mobility, strengthen weakened muscles, and ultimately enhance your dog's quality of life, often treating the root cause of the discomfort.

Let's commit to really seeing our dogs as individuals, recognizing that their pain is unique to them, and always prioritizing their health and happiness. If you suspect your dog is in pain, ask your vet about a referral to a veterinary physiotherapist. It can make all the difference! ❤️🐾

Friendly reminder: 🐾

🐾 Cancellations made the day before your session will incur full charge
🐾 My appointments are very busy and limited, I currently have a 3 week waiting list for new clients who are keen to start
🐾 Cancelling last minute means that I cannot fill the session and other people also miss out on it
🐾 Please, if you're not sure when you are booked in just drop me a message
🐾 My "reminder text" is a day before reminder not a chance to cancel
🐾 I don’t want to have to start taking deposits
🐾 I understand it’s a busy time of year and that these things happen but it is also my livelihood and cancellations are a huge loss
🐾 this is not aimed at anyone, it is just a reminder to all

Thank you for understanding

Just Teddy enjoying his massage 😍 his smile says it all!

Teddy spends a lot of time of time on wheels as he is paralysed. He enjoys running around so much and sometimes this causes some compensatory muscle tightness around his shoulders so we address this every few weeks to help to keep him comfortable (and speedy on those wheels!)

⛔ PLEASE READ & SHARE ⛔

Hi everyone,

A couple of months ago I posted about another local pet care business trading under the name All Creatures.

This afternoon, I received a phone call from an understandably very angry farmer accusing me of letting my dogs kill two of his sheep. He didn't realise he had the wrong person.

I wasn't there so I do NOT know the circumstances of the incident but I want to let all my followers know that THIS WAS NOT ME.

I don't want this post to serve as a slagging match but I know how quickly word travels around somewhere as small as Keighley. I don't want their to be any confusion about this incident, it involved someone I've never met and is nothing to do with All Creatures Pet Care.

Thank you for reading and please share 🙏

The lovely Charlie absolutely loves his physio massage, LASER therapy, and PEMF - all from the comfort of his sofa 🥰 I see Charlie regularly to help support him in managing his hip dysplasia.

Hip dysplasia is a developmental orthopaedic condition caused by abnormal formation of the hip joint. It begins in early life and is not an “old dog” condition as commonly believed. Although, symptoms are often missed until the dog is older and the joint integrity starts to fail. The femoral head and acetabulum (the ball and socket of the hip) fail to form a stable, congruent joint, leading to joint laxity, inflammation, and ultimately, osteoarthritis.

🔬 While more common in large, fast-growing breeds, hip dysplasia can affect dogs of any size. Early signs may include reduced range of motion, lameness of one or both back legs, and muscle atrophy (wastage).

📈 Regular physiotherapy plays a vital role in maintaining joint health, improving mobility, supporting muscle strength, and enhancing overall quality of life.
