Great help for Arthritic Dogs

Audra has helped my greyhound, who suffers with arthritis from an old racing injury, to keep fit and healthy. She responds to the needs of the dog and is very gentle with her. Greyhounds are not the most compliant of dogs to treat. They tend to go their own way!!!!

Bouncey Brie again

A huge thanks to Audra, she has been treating my 12 and a half year old golden Labrador, who has some arthritis in her hips and feet. After three sessions of physio and hydrotherapy she is a greatly rejuvenated girl, acting about 5 years younger, literally skipping about, wanting to play. It is as if a weight has been lifted from her – she’s really happy and full of the joys of spring. Thank you for giving my younger girl back.

Very gentle & caring

Audra was so gentle & caring – I think Clover thought she was having her own spa treatment! Highly recommend 🙂

Ted’s spa day

My name is Ted and I’m a 13 year old Labrador. I go to see Audra for hydrotherapy and physiotherapy at Carnfield Hall to help with my old legs. It’s just like a spa day to me and I’m so eager to get there and happy to see Auntie Audra. After the humans have had a chat about how I’m doing I get into the pool with her and as I swim around she talks to me and checks that I’m moving ok. We have a little rest between laps, (to get my breath back, they tell me) and Auntie Audra gives me a cuddle. After I’m dried, I sometimes have physio too. Aaah…. luxury, it’s soooo relaxing I have been known to fall asleep. Note from Mum… Audra has a lovely manner with the dogs and Ted is so relaxed and at ease with her. The service is professional, very caring and friendly and highly recommended.

The Canine Athlete seminar

Everyone really enjoyed the talk, they all felt it was an eye opener. They were all thinking about the make-up of their dogs and the training routines they had.
