Important update - 28/11/24
Our appointment book is currently full, I'm afraid we are unable to take on any new clients at this time. Appointments are currently limited to those that have already received massage therapy at our clinic and household dogs. I'm afraid I'm unable to accept anyone that has been in contact regarding vet referrals if you have not booked an appointment,
Results you can see and your dog can feel.
