What to expect

I respect the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966 and Exemption Order 2015 by never working upon an animal without gaining prior Veterinary approval. Therefore, please be advised that unless Veterinary consent is obtained prior to the first appointment, I will be unable to carry out a treatment on your dog. A Veterinary Consent form may be downloaded here
Every dog is different, therefore, each treatment will be tailored to suit your dogs needs. Some dogs will relax straight away and may even snooze throughout the whole treatment, whilst others may be restless, wriggle about and may even need short breaks. If you are worried that your dog will not settle, rest assured that I have been trained to work with dogs across a range of environments, circumstances and behaviours so the treatment will be adapted to suit your dog’s needs and abilities.

You may decide to use regular maintenance treatments in order to manage any orthopaedic conditions or to continue to improve your dog’s general wellbeing. These treatments will generally be around 4-6 weeks apart but I will work with you to decide on how often these treatments will be. Allow up to 60 minutes for maintenance treatments.
