Do you know your pet’s ideal weight? 🐶

Maintaining a healthy body weight is an important part of your pet’s overall wellbeing, especially when it comes to orthopaedic health. Conditions such as arthritis, cruciate ligament injuries, hip dysplasia, and many others can be significantly affected by body weight 🦴

Carrying excess weight places additional stress on joints, bones, and ligaments, which can accelerate wear and tear and contribute to further damage. Being underweight or poorly nourished can also impact musculoskeletal health and recovery.

Regularly monitoring your pet’s weight and providing a balanced, nutritious diet can help support their mobility, comfort, and quality of life. If you're unsure what your dog’s ideal weight should be, speak with your veterinarian and work together to keep them on track for a happy, healthy life. 🐾

Meet gentle Jeremy 🐾

Jeremy came to us in November for assessment of a suspected common calcaneal "achilles" tendon injury.

After a thorough evaluation, Dr Andrew Worth performed a tendon repair and screw fixation of his hock or "ankle" to take the load off the tendon and allow it to heal.

Jeremy's recovery involved numerous bandage changes, rechecks, and careful monitoring to ensure the best possible outcome.

Two months later, the screw was removed, and he was fitted with a Pawthotic brace to allow some gradual loading of the tendon. At this time he started physiotherapy with Lauren at MEND Vet Rehab.

Throughout his treatment, Jeremy was an absolute superstar, and his owner showed incredible dedication every step of the way.

We're delighted to report that Jeremy has now been discharged from both our care and physiotherapy. He's back doing what he loves most — enjoying beach walks with his family. 🌊🐕

Well done, Jeremy! We're so proud of your recovery. ❤️

We’ll reopen as normal on Tuesday and look forward to seeing you then! 🖤💛

Meet handsome Simon 🐾

Simon was referred to us by the wonderful team at Vets On Riverbank Otaki for TPLO surgery to repair his cruciate ligament. After 6 weeks, he made a wonderful recovery with the assistance of physiotherapy from Deb Prattley in Feilding.

Simon’s dedicated owner will continue with his physiotherapy and walking programme following his 6-week check-up.

We wish Simon all the very best as he continues his recovery journey ❤️

Meet handsome Onyx 🖤🐾

This sweet boy came to see us with a limp in his right hind leg, and after his initial consultation, we were able to get him booked in for a TPLO surgery within just 7 days. 💪✨

Onyx’s owner is a familiar face to our team, and we’ve had the privilege of caring for a couple of her other beautiful doggos over the years too. We’re always so grateful for the trust our returning clients place in us. 💕

A huge shoutout as well to the wonderful team at Black Dog Physio for helping support Onyx through his post-op physio journey.

Wishing this gorgeous boy all the very best.
