Because healthy habits (and movement) start young.
✨🐾🧡🐶🐐🐱🧡🐾✨
Let’s Talk About Your Little Whirlwind
You know the one – floppy ears, turbo-charged zoomies, and absolutely no concept of “taking it easy.”
Puppies, foals, kittens, and other young animals are bundles of energy and adorable chaos. But here’s the secret: all that wild energy needs some guidance.
That’s where veterinary physiotherapy comes in – not just to fix problems, but to prevent them. Because physio isn’t just for recovery – it’s for growth, strength, and setting your little one up for a lifetime of healthy movement.
What’s the Point of Physio for Young Animals?
Think of it as training wheels for their little bodies 🚲🐕
Young animals are still developing their:
- Bones and joints
- Muscles and coordination
- Posture and balance
Just like human children might need physio for flat feet, hypermobility, or growing pains, your puppy, kitten, or foal might too!
Physiotherapy helps:
✅ Correct early imbalances
✅ Build even muscle tone
✅ Improve coordination
✅ Support healthy joint development
✅ Prevent long-term issues (like hip dysplasia, arthritis, or luxating patellas)
Who’s It For?
🎯 Pretty much every young animal… but especially:
- Breeds prone to joint issues (Labradors, German Shepherds, Bulldogs)
- Agility, working, or show animals (Border Collies, Yorkies, Spaniels)
- Fast-growing large breeds (Great Danes, Mastiffs, Irish Wolfhounds)
- Young animals with injuries or congenital conditions
If your little one zooms, tumbles, or seems a little “off,” physio might be the perfect next step.
What Does a Puppy Physio Session Look Like?
Spoiler: It’s not boot camp. It’s structured playtime – backed by science!
Here’s what a session usually includes:
- A gentle assessment of your pet’s movement, posture, and limb use
- A personalised exercise plan tailored to your animal’s age and needs
- Fun equipment like balance pads, tunnels, wobble boards… and yes, treats!
- Home advice for safe play, posture tips, and what to look out for
No stress. No pain. Just one happy little explorer learning to move like a pro.
Tail wags and wiggles included.
Real Talk: Why Bother?
Because it’s easier (and more affordable!) to prevent problems than to treat them later
Starting physio early can help your pet avoid:
🚫 Lifelong joint problems
🚫 Muscle imbalances and pain
🚫 Clumsy accidents
🚫 Early arthritis
Plus, you’re giving them the best possible start – whether they’re headed for show rings, sheep herding, or just epic games of fetch.
