Active Pet

In 2023 our labradoodle had major spinal surgery, 12 months later her mobility deteriorated, we couldn't put her through more surgery for her spondylitis and she also has arthritis in her knuckles, so our local vet suggested Active Pets, with Acupuncture and Hydrotherapy, plus home physio exercises we have seen such an improvement in our dogs mobility in just a few months. Vet Philippa has so much knowledge not only about the treatments they do, but about pain relief advice, and cares so much about the pets welfare. We use insurance and the administration of this and making appointments is seamless. I would highly recommend the treatments, practice and staff, So would Lacey as she happily goes on every time.

An excellent service is offered by Philippa, Michelle and the team. They are very experienced and seek to provide solutions that help your dog deal with arthritis (in our case) and have as full and pain free life as possible. We have been taking our now ten year old Flat Coated Retriever Branston to Active Pet for a couple of years now and he is undoubtedly a healthier and happier dog as a consequence. He has acupuncture, laser and radial shock therapy at each visit and he is well chilled with the experience each time. What I particularly like is how closely they work with our own traditional vets....which provides a joined up approach to treatment.

Dr Phillipa is so knowledgeable, kind, trustworthy and takes time to listen to the whole story. Phillipa has helped us realise that our dog is not badly behaved, he is in pain that affects his everyday life, and that is affecting his behaviour. We can now pick up on signs that our dog is struggling and we know how to help him. His behaviour has improved because of the knowledge we now have. Phillipa has a plan to help our dog with medication to improve his daily life as best we can. Phillipa being in our life and helping us and our dog is invaluable right now.
