Important Notice

Veterinary physiotherapy is a collaborative effort. With professional care and your dedication at home, your pet can achieve greater comfort and a more fulfilling life.

Physiotherapy is not a replacement for veterinary care.

According to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, veterinary consent is not required for maintenance treatments on a healthy animal. However, consent is necessary for conditions involving disease, injury, disorders, and illnesses.

We require veterinary consent for all patients.

Animals exhibiting lameness or significant abnormalities will not be treated, and veterinary intervention will be recommended.

Your veterinarian should be your primary contact for any major concerns.
