Performance Enhancement Therapies and Pain Management

At Pet Rehab, we specialise in the management of pain and optimisation of performance in pets and working dogs. We cater for animals with arthritis; agility, sporting or working dogs with injury; and any pet recovering from surgery. We also advise on sport fitness and can advise on training programmes to help prevent injury.

The Vet Rehab team work from personal experience and a passionate interest in this area. Rachel Mowbray is the official vet for the Kennel Club’s GB Agility Team and Emma Fretwell is the team’s chiropractor. Rachel has competed with her champion agility dog, Nutmeg, at the highest level all over the world.

Hydrotherapy Assistant Pippa Hoornaert is a qualified veterinary nurse with a keen interest in companion animal rehabilitation. She assists the PET Rehab team and is hoping to achieve the ABC certificate in canine hydrotherapy later on this year.

Our philosophy is to discover the underlying cause of pain and treat this via a tailored mix of our different therapies and services. We offer chiropractic, physiotherapy, sport massage, acupuncture and hydrotherapy on our treadmill.

Vets are invited to an official opening and CPD

    All of the rehab team are very excited about the arrival of the hydrotherapy treadmill. We can now add another level to the rehabilitation of the dogs that we see and get them fighting fit in no time.

  • Crufts 2013

    Meanwhile, so as not to upset Nutmeg, Rachel has entered her for the veteran’s Border Terrier class at Crufts. Not that she has anything to prove.  Nutmeg has competed 10 times for Team GB – way more than any other agility dog.  And she is the first and only Border Terrier ever to become an Agility Champion.

  • New Year; new puppy

    Rachel has been to choose her new border terrier puppy. She will collect  "Teasel" from his breeder at the end of January.  We can’t wait to meet him and are all asking if he will be the next agility champion?
