Testimonials

Our border collie has hip dysplasia and needed a physio referral. Issy promptly answered our initial query and coordinated with our vet for history and images. The venue is very well equipped and very conveniently located with plenty of parking and large dog walking areas to relax our boy. Issy clearly knows her stuff and spends time to understand and progress at our dogs pace. She also thoroughly explains the purpose of the exercises and how to continue these at home, along with sharing the goals she has for treatment outcomes. The website has clear descriptions of the treatments and how they can help, along with pricing. It'll be a long journey for our boy, but I'm delighted to have found Paws and Claws to help us manage his condition.
