Owners often arrive with a simple observation: something about a familiar walk looks different. You do not need the technical vocabulary to describe it. Explain what caught your attention and the circumstances in which you noticed it.
Gait and movement assessment provides a place to explore those questions with a practitioner. Ask what is being observed, whether additional assessment tools are relevant and how findings will be considered alongside the veterinary history and your dog’s daily life.
Take into your next conversation
- Describe what you noticed in your own words.
