This is a special plea for lots of shares to hopefully reach the right family.

Our vet Dr Michelle assisted 3 dogs earlier this year who were working as anti-poaching dogs in the Congo. The farm closed down, and she imported all three to try and help them.

The two Malinois found a home, but Stix the Basenji is still in need of a home.

He did have an amazing home with a wonderful family where the husband also manages a reserve and was able to work with Stix, but unfortunately Stix is not dog friendly and after months of trying, he had to return him with tears rolling down his eyes.

Stix does mingle with female dogs at the vet, but the ideal home would be as an only dog as he is quite reactive.
Everything is fine, but when there are some triggers like too much human affection being handed out, or a very bossy dog he can be very reactive, and Stix is not a scared dog! He is clearly a very brave boy!

Stix is not a youngster but still very active and hopefully there is a family out there who is familiar with the breed and would enjoy a trained Basenji ❤

He is currently in Grabouw and we can be emailed at

Let Griff teach you how to play the hot and cold game. This is an awesome activity for dogs who are on crate rest and cannot move around too much.

Remember the welcome post for Pauline Burrows new horse, Gunston, shared a little while ago?

Below, see the incredible transformation that Gunner (as he is now affectionately known) has undergone after only three weeks of TLC and the extremely hard work that his new owner has put into him. She has been following the rehabilitation guidelines set out, and has been implementing all the techniques that she has learned religiously. Notice especially how Gunner was unable to stand square in photograph one vs his improved posture 3-weeks later!

We can’t wait to see how he continues to improve going forwards.

Why Mobile Therapy?

Many animals experience stress when taken out of their familiar environment. Mobile veterinary physiotherapy allows the treatment to occur in the comfort and security of the animal's home or stable, reducing stress and anxiety.

Animal physiotherapy, also known as veterinary physiotherapy or animal physical therapy, is a specialized branch of physiotherapy that focuses on the rehabilitation and physical well-being of animals.

The goal of animal physiotherapy is to improve and maintain the functional ability and quality of life of animals, particularly those that have suffered injuries, undergone surgery, or have chronic conditions.

Animal physiotherapy can be used as a preventative measure to maintain and enhance the overall well-being of animals, particularly in situations where there is a higher risk of injury or when working with performance animals. By incorporating physiotherapy into the routine care of animals, certain issues can be addressed proactively, potentially preventing injuries and improving the animal's overall physical condition.
