Just like humans, as dogs age, so do their needs.
We may not always notice the subtle changes, or we might, but not understand what they mean exactly. A Senior Dog Consultation can give you peace of mind – we can discuss your concerns, identify possible issues, help put a plan in place and provide you the tools so you can help your dog age gracefully.
The earlier we start to put interventions in place the happier they can be for longer.
What happens during a Senior Dog Consultation?
We will discuss the following:
If physiotherapy and therapeutic exercise is indicated, this can also take place as well.
Please remember, I am not a Veterinary Surgeon, so this is not suitable if you have a concern regarding a illness in your dog.
I am however a Registered Veterinary Nurse and Physiotherapist with a passion for Senior pet health management. I want to support both you and your dog to ensure they are living their best life.
If you would like to, please feel free to use our free online Canine Arthritis Assessment. This assessment is based on the University of Liverpool produced validated questionnaire to help people measure with great accuracy, the level of their dog’s arthritis.
To take part – please use this questionnaire
It will be sent to us automatically and we will send you your results. In using this questionnaire, you agree to us storing your email address and contacting you about your dog’s results and future communications from Surrey Veterinary Physio. You can opt out at any time and your details will not be sent to any third party.
Once you receive your results it is totally up to you as to how you move forward. There is no further obligation. But it can help you choose the next steps in your dog’s care plan.
The majority of insurance companies will cover the costs of veterinary physiotherapy treatment. It is worth contacting your insurance provider to discuss this.
If you would like to claim the costs of treatment back, please provide me with your insurance form to complete.
Please note, I am unable to do direct claims.
