Our Canine Services
Canine physiotherapy is a specialist treatment focussing on the assessment, treatment and rehabilitation of dogs to improve their physical function, performance and quality of life. Physiotherapy can be particularly relevant for competitive sports such as agility and fly ball, but is also extremely beneficial for elderly dogs or those recovering from injury or surgery. Canine physiotherapy is commonly utilised for two reasons, rehabilitative needs including injury recovery and conditioning / performance enhancement and preventative care comprised of routine maintenance and optimal management practices.

It is designed to evaluate your pet's current physical condition, mobility, and any specific areas of concern, like pain, stiffness, or reduced range of motion.

Pathology Seminars
Designed for clients
When your animal is diagnosed with a condition such as hip dysplasia or cruciate ligament rupture, it can be extremely upsetting and often our vets are unable to provide us with an in depth understanding of what this means and the best steps to take moving forward. Our pathology seminars extensively discuss specific pathologies, guiding our owners through different management and surgical interventions, allowing them to ask questions. These seminars help our owners understand their next steps and leave with peace of mind.
Seminars can be delivered in person or online, and can be delivered in groups.
Designed for businesses
If you own a canine business such as a veterinary clinic, doggy day care or training centre and would like to book these pathology seminars for your staff, these seminars can be tailored to specific pathologies or structures depending on what you require.
Seminars can be delivered in the form of lunch & learns, structured seminars or group sessions.
Prices start from £35 for personal seminars and a £5 surcharge will be added for each additional person attending
For business seminars, prices will vary (from £50) depending on attendance and what your business requires.
Whether your dog is seeking physiotherapy post-surgery, post-injury or for maintenance purposes, all dogs will require an initial assessment.
