Bookings

Prior to your initial consultation, I require a comprehensive history of your animal companion, encompassing their background, previous health considerations, and any specific concerns you wish to address. This information is vital to developing a tailored and effective care plan. While veterinary referral is welcomed and facilitates a more integrated approach, it is not a prerequisite. Collaboration with your primary care veterinarian—regardless of whether it pertains to your dog or cat—will ensure a holistic and comprehensive assessment.

  • A full musculoskeletal examination
  • Alignment of your goals with potential treatment outcomes
  • Initiation of treatments tailored to your animal’s specific needs – whether for your dog or cat

  • Class 4 Laser therapy
  • TENS & NMES

Follow Ups

Most dogs and cats require multiple visits to ensure optimal care. Follow-up appointments are essential for providing continued treatments, updating exercise programs, and reviewing your goals. I am able to evaluate your pet’s progress and make any necessary adjustments to the prescribed home exercises or care regimen. This comprehensive approach ensures that both dogs and cats receive personalized and effective treatment tailored to their specific needs.
