Day 4 of 12 Days of Pet Comfort: Supporting Senior Dogs This Winter 🎄🐾Veterinary Physiotherapist and MAA practitioner Hannah Topping (HT Animal Rehabilitation ) shares some simple tips to help keep our senior dogs comfortable and moving well throughout winter. A little extra care can make a big difference to their wellbeing. ✨🛏️ Supportive Bedding – Provide thick, comfortable, breathable bedding raised off the floor to reduce drafts and support aging joints. ❄️🧣 Keeping Warm– A well-fitting coat or fleece can help maintain body heat, both indoors and outdoors. During wet weather, a drying coat is invaluable for keeping dogs warm and preventing post-walk chills. 🎁🚶‍♂️ Gentle, Consistent Exercise – Short, frequent walks are easier on senior joints than long outings. Incorporating recommended stretches can support mobility and reduce stiffness before and after exercise. 🌟⚖️ Weight Management – Reduced activity in winter can lead to weight gain. Adjusting calorie intake and seeking tailored guidance from a canine nutritionist can help maintain a healthy balance. 🍂🧼 Non-Slip Flooring – Wet paws on smooth floors can increase the risk of slips or falls. Using non-slip mats or runners can improve confidence and safety around the home. 🎀💊 Pain Management – If your dog shows signs of discomfort or reduced mobility, a veterinary pain-management consultation can significantly enhance their quality of life. ❤️🐕‍🦺 McTimoney Chiropractic and physiotherapy Care – Soft tissue work, gentle adjustments, and targeted exercises can help relieve stiffness, support joint health, and improve overall comfort. 🎅🌊 Hydrotherapy – A great low-impact option that allows senior dogs to exercise safely, maintain strength, and move more freely without stress on their joints. ⭐#mctimoneyanimalassociation #mctimoneyanimalchiropractic #12daysofpetcomfort #mctimoneyanimal #PetWellbeing #SeniorDogCare ...

🐴 Day 3 of 12 Days of Pet Comfort: Keep Hooves Tip-Top This WinterTips from Harriet Blick (HB McTimoney Animal Chiropractor )No foot no horse... As the old saying goes we should always look after our horses’ hooves, especially in winter with all the water and mud! Make sure you take 5 minutes to pick out feet daily and check for any signs of cracks, thrush or mud fever... You can also use hoof oil to help stop them from drying out over time from the changes in footing or consider a hoof supplement to keep them growing strong!#mctimoneyanimalchiropractic #mctimoneyanimalassociation #horsehoofcare #horsewinterwellness #equinecaretips ...

Day 2 of our 12 Days of Pet Comfort is here, and today Dog trainer and MAA practitioner Jay Hrycak shares some tips on keeping gundogs fit and injury-free during cold working days. ❄️🐶“In the colder months, it’s very important to take extra care when out working your gundogs. During periods of inactivity (such as lunch or elevenses), muscles can get cold which puts them at a higher risk of injury when they’re back on the job. So, using well designed and insulated coats or fleece jumpers and having a warm and dry place for them to rest is a must! It’s also even more important to warm those muscles up before intense activity (e.g., walking first, doing some sit to down to stand exercises and having them turn and do figure of 8 movements).”#mctimoneyanimalassociation #mctimoneyanimalchiropractic #mctimoneyanimal #caninemobility #mctimoneyanimalpractitioner #WorkingDogsUK #WinterDogCare #12daysofpetcomfort ...
