The Rehab Vet

Veterinary rehabilitation and physiotherapy for dogs and cats in Herts, UK.

Do you have a lame, stiff or injured dog? I should be able to help you: I give specialist rehabilitation advice and physiotherapy tailored to the individual patient.

I have great success with all kinds of dogs, from pups with developmental problems to elderly dogs with stiffness and weakness. My special areas of interest are (1) Recovery from cruciate ligament disease without surgery, and (2) Recovery from spinal injury or “IVDD /IVDH”.

I worked as a vet in small animal practice from 1996-2020. On qualifying as a small animal physiotherapist in 2014, I set up my own canine & feline rehabilitation business and have over the years built up a huge amount of experience. I always link in with the pet’s usual vet to ensure a streamlined recovery. The referral process is straightforward, and my service includes detailed written reports back to your vet.

On my website at http://therehabvet.com/ , I’ve built up a free-of-charge information resource for owners of recovering dogs. You’ll also find (on the “About Me” section of that website) links to papers that I’ve had published in peer-reviewed journals on the subject.

Please message me to check for appointment availability. The first appointment is a one hour video consultation. For those living near to me in North Herts, UK, I then follow this up with home visit appointments. During the covid19 pandemic, visits are socially-distanced and held out in the garden. For clients who are not local, video supervision of the entire recovery programme is possible. I look forward to hearing from you!
