Puppy Checks
Our puppy physiotherapy checks are designed to support healthy growth and movement from an early age. We carry out a gentle full body assessment to identify any early signs of stiffness, weakness or movement imbalance during key development stages. These checks are suitable for all breeds and are particularly beneficial for fast growing puppies, larger breeds, and future sporting or working dogs. Alongside the assessment, owners receive clear guidance on exercise, play and daily habits to help reduce the risk of injury and support long term musculoskeletal health.

Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about physiotherapy, treatment options, or what to expect during a session? Here you’ll find answers to some of the most common queries we receive from clients.
What is canine physiotherapy?
Most people have either had physiotherapy themselves or know someone who has had it. Canine physiotherapy follows the exact same principles and treatments. Evolution has meant we are all designed to move, however after illness, surgery, injury or disability this can be difficult. We can help restore movement whilst reducing pain, improving strength and ultimately independence.
Do you treat other small animals?
Yes we treat Cats and other small furries such as rabbits.
What conditions/patients do you see?
We see a variety of patients but below are the most common conditions;
– Post-surgical rehabilitation , soft tissue or bony surgeries
– Management of chronic conditions such as arthritis
– Conservative cases
– Conditioning programmes
How do I book an appointment?
How long will physiotherapy take?
This is a million-dollar question and difficult to answer, purely because every case is different and so is the reason for physiotherapy. We will answer this however after an initial appointment. We do tailor our rehabilitation plans to you, for example if you would prefer to space appointments, we will ensure you feel equipped with our rehabilitation plans to do this at home. But it’s around 45 – 60 minutes.
Can my insurance cover physiotherapy treatment?
It is dependent on your insurance but we always advise to check with your insurer prior to your first appointment.
Are there any extra charges?
Travel charges will be applied over a 10 mile radius. Home visit appointments are more expensive than clinic appointments. Please contact us to find out more and we will do our best to accommodate your needs. For urgent appointments within 24-48hours extra charges may apply subject to availability.
