Physiotherapy for dogs

Pain in the musculoskeletal system is widespread in dogs - often caused by incorrect strain, overloading, health problems or breed-specific anatomical characteristics. If left untreated, this pain can not only significantly reduce your dog's quality of life, but also trigger unwanted behavior.

 

This is exactly where our dog physiotherapy comes in: With targeted measures, we help your four-legged friend to regain mobility, relieve pain and develop more zest for life again.

 

Give your dog more well-being - with professional physiotherapy, individually tailored to his needs.

Physiotherapy takes place regularly in the hall in Mettmenstetten. Depending on the problem and characteristics of the dog, therapy can also take the form of a home visit. If this is desired, please contact us in writing to make an inquiry.

In my work as a dog trainer, I come into contact with the topic of pain in connection with behavior and training time and again. Pain has a major impact on training, behavior and the life of each individual. In order to gain a better understanding of this, I decided to complete a dog physiotherapy course. The combination of physiotherapy and non-violent dog training is a very good basis for me to enable dogs to live a good life. I am very happy to be able to help many dog & human teams in the field of physiotherapy. To further expand my knowledge, I am also starting a dog osteopathy course.
