Understanding your dog’s day.
Your dog’s history and the observations you make at home help us understand their experience of elbow dysplasia. We consider these alongside information from the veterinary team and the reasons for rehabilitation referral.
Assessment may include discussion of gait, stance and the tasks your dog finds difficult. Any proposed approach is then considered as part of the wider plan for their care, with attention to their confidence and daily routines.
