When people ask us where we'd recommend for canine rehabilitation in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, these are three practices we confidently suggest.

We've personally met and worked with the teams, and we know they share a similar philosophy to the one we always believed in at Scuba Sam's—providing compassionate, evidence-based care that's tailored to each individual dog.

If your dog is recovering from surgery, managing arthritis or experiencing mobility issues, always speak with your veterinarian about the most appropriate treatment plan.

🐾 Can older dogs build muscle again?

It's one of the questions we're asked most often.

The answer is yes... but it isn't as simple as giving a supplement.

The first step is always to identify why muscle has been lost. Arthritis, injury, neurological conditions and other health problems can all contribute, so we recommend speaking with your veterinarian if you've noticed muscle wasting.

Once any underlying issues are being managed, a combination of appropriate exercise, good nutrition and, in some cases, muscle-support supplements may help maintain or improve muscle condition.

One supplement we've used and recommended is Myos Vet Formula Plus, which is designed to support muscle health in dogs.

💬 Has your dog ever struggled with muscle loss?

06/27/2026

When we moved from Texas to the UK with our dogs, we thought we had done everything right.

We worked with a pet transport company, had veterinary appointments, completed paperwork and followed all the requirements.

Then Remo got stuck in Germany.

The issue? His microchip couldn't be located when he landed.

It was one of the most stressful experiences I've ever had as a dog owner.

Thankfully, Remo is now safely in the UK, but it taught me a lesson that I wish someone had told us earlier:

⚠️ Never assume your dog's microchip can be found just because it's there.

If you're travelling internationally with your dog:

✅ Ask your vet to scan the microchip at every appointment.
✅ Check that the number matches the paperwork.
✅ Keep copies of all records.
✅ Confirm the chip can be located quickly and easily.

I hope sharing our experience helps another dog owner avoid the stress and uncertainty we went through.

🐾 5 Signs Your Dog May Be Losing Muscle Mass

Muscle loss doesn't just happen in senior dogs. We often see it in dogs recovering from injury, dealing with arthritis, experiencing pain, or becoming less active.

Look out for:

1️⃣ Hind legs looking thinner than they used to

2️⃣ Difficulty getting up from lying down

3️⃣ Struggling with stairs or jumping into the car

4️⃣ Becoming tired more quickly on walks

5️⃣ A more prominent spine, hips or shoulders

⚠️ If you notice muscle loss, don't assume it's simply due to age. Muscle wasting can be a sign of an underlying medical condition that requires veterinary attention.

We always recommend booking an appointment with your veterinarian as soon as possible so they can identify the cause and discuss appropriate treatment options.

Once any underlying issues have been investigated, a tailored exercise, nutrition and wellness plan can help support strength, mobility and quality of life.

Have you noticed any of these signs in your dog?

On Monday, we had to say goodbye to our beautiful boy, Sam.

He was 16 years old, and although I knew this day would come eventually, nothing really prepares you for it.

This week has been a blur of tears, guilt, relief, sadness, gratitude and memories. One minute I'm looking at photos and smiling, the next I'm full on crying again.

There is a hole in our hearts.

For so many years, Sam was simply part of everything. He was there through family milestones, business milestones, good days, bad days and all the ordinary moments in between.

One of the hardest parts has been questioning whether we made the right decision, even though deep down we know we did. As dog owners, we carry the responsibility of making that final choice for them, and it is a burden that comes from a place of love.

What brings me comfort is knowing that Sam didn't know fear, or guilt, or heartbreak. He only knew that he was loved. And now im crying again.......

And he was loved deeply.

Right now, I'm trying to be kind to myself and allow myself to grieve. Not rush it. Not hide from it. Just take it one day at a time.

If you've lost a dog, you'll understand that they leave pawprints on your heart that never really fade.

Thank you for 16 wonderful years, Sam. ❤️🐾

I miss you more than words can say.

A new chapter for Scuba Sam's 🐾

While our physical location has now closed as we prepare for our move back to the UK, our passion for helping dogs live longer, healthier and more comfortable lives hasn't changed.

Over the last few years we've had the privilege of working with hundreds of incredible dogs and their families. We've learned so much along the way, and we'd love to continue sharing that knowledge.

This page isn't going anywhere. Instead, we'll be using it to share practical advice on canine wellness, mobility, exercise, weight management, nutrition and healthy ageing.

We'll also continue sharing resources, products and programmes that we genuinely trust and believe can help dogs thrive.

Thank you for being part of the Scuba Sam's journey so far. We're excited to see where this next chapter takes us.
