Here to make your best friend healthier & happier!

Massage

We do a complete assessment which tells us the nature and severity of the problem. It indicates which structures are affected and the functional limitations for your dog. It also provides us with baseline information for reassessment.

The benefits of canine remedial massage:

• Assists with pain and injury management
• Increases blood and lymphatic circulation
• Reduces pain and spasm in tense muscles
• Stimulates the immune system
• Assists in the removal of waste and toxins
• Aids in digestion

Nutrition

Food is natural medicine and nutrition is the key to long life, health and happiness for your dog.

An increasing number of dogs are developing severe issues. These include diarrhoea, vomiting, pancreatitis, anal gland issues, inflammatory bowel disease, kidney disease, obesity, arthritis, allergies, autoimmune disease, diabetes, cancer and many more.

We can help you create a biologically appropriate raw food balanced diet at home. Or, if you’re time poor, we can refer you to some excellent retailers.

Arthritis

The ageing process can be painful and debilitating for our senior dogs – just like it can be for us. Arthritis is very common, and it’s usually the result of ongoing wear and tear and instability of the joints. Some other factors – such as injury, genetics, inflammation, immune disease, infection and cancer – can affect the progression.

There are many signs that may indicate your dog is suffering from arthritis. Some dogs can be stoic and mask signs of pain. A few signs to look out for:

• Pain or stiffness when getting up or down
• Reluctance to walk, climb stairs, jump or play
• Lag behind on walks
• Yelping when touched or picked up
• Lameness
• Personality changes (withdrawn, abnormal aggression)

Massage and Red Light (Photonic) therapy can assist with painful muscles and joints so they can continue to be as active as possible. This helps to slow down muscle atrophy and musculoskeletal degeneration. It increases circulation, delivering nutrients and oxygen to the muscles and removing toxins.

As our dogs age it is important for them to have a healthy diet, supplement support, appropriate daily exercise and complementary therapies to help improve their quality of life.

Anxiety

Anxiety and stress are becoming a huge issue for a lot of dogs. They’re living their lives in constant arousal and are unable to self regulate into a relaxed state.

This can cause extreme behavioural concerns and can make life for the dog and their owners incredibly stressful.

We can help with a range of natural complementary therapies. This will help them become a calmer, happier and healthier dog.

Acute Herbalism

Symptoms are the body’s way of telling us what is going on inside. The goal of herbal healing is to stimulate the body to heal itself.

We always look at the underlying conditions that might be causing the acute symptoms.

There are many herbal treatments that may assist your dog with a whole range of issues.
