Animal Osteopathy
Osteopathy for dogs
Is your dog recovering from an injury? Have you notice any sign of pain or a change in their behaviour? Has your companion difficulties getting up, jumping, or climbing stairs? Has your pet a decline in performance or reluctance to participate in activities they once enjoyed?
Dogs can exhibit various signs and symptoms that may indicate underlying musculoskeletal issues necessitating osteopathic consultation. Ensuring that your dog is in the best possible condition contributes significantly to their health, comfort, and overall quality of life.
The number of osteopathic sessions your pet will need depends on various factors, including its specific condition, response to treatment, and overall health. A treatment plan will be tailored to your pet's individual needs and may involve multiple sessions spaced out over time. Your input and involvement are essential parts of the process, and we're here to support you every step of the way.
What to except and how to care after the treatment?
Treatments start a healing response that triggers changes to occur within the animals body. Any onset of symptoms or an increase in pain is referred to as the “rebound effect” or “healing crisis”. This can often be quite a tiring experience and some animals can feel soreness for a day or so after an osteopathic treatment; it is often an indication of increased circulation and removal of toxins.
For this reason it is recommended that your pet should be rested after the treatment for 24-48 hours followed by a gradual return to normal activity. The results of a treatment are seen after a few days or weeks depending their body’s ability to adapt these changes.
We are here to support you every step of the way on your companion's healing journey. In addition to providing treatment, we will offer advice on various lifestyle factors that can contribute to your pet's overall well-being. This includes guidance on nutrition, stress management, and exercise routines tailored to meet the specific needs of your pet.
