When a dog is diagnosed with a MSK injury or disease their usual daily routine will be affected. Very  often a short or long term programme of therapy will be implimented which frequently includes several treatment options for effective management of the condition.  The subsiquent change in routine and lifestyle can be  challenging for owners  and we can provide help and guidence in the adaptation of  their dogs lifestyle to accommodate these changes. This includes assistance with environment/ home adaptations, wieght management, appropriate exercise and enrichnment activities, and training plans to help ameliorate often consequent behavioural issues.

This is offered as part of our holistic approach to care and welfare of these dogs and support for their owners.
