I created the Senior Dog Wellness Monthly TRIO because I love working with older dogs! I love helping pet parents through this stage of life that their dog is entering. Helping a senior dog regain mobility and reducing their pain level is so rewarding.
We love our dogs at every stage of life but the senior stage can be more difficult mentally and physically. We never want to see our beloved dog slow down because of age. It can also become more difficult to care for an older dog. Getting in and out of your car can be a struggle. Walking on the hardwood floors can be strenuous. All of these can really impact your dog’s quality of life.
If your entering this stage with your dog. If your dog is slowing down. If your dog has arthritis. If you want to prevent mobility issue. If you have tons of questions on how to care for your aging dog. Our Senior Dog Wellness Monthly TRIO is what you need!
This package combines the benefits of physio, massage therapy and hydrotherapy. Our Senior Dog Wellness Monthly TRIO is a 4 week program where you will be booking one physio appointment, one massage appointment and 4 swims.
All 6 appointments + at home exercises for 299$ +taxes.
What to expect during these appointments

Your dog will receive a physio treatment which may include laser therapy, manual therapy, acupuncture and soft tissue release.
