Cristina and Baggio

Baggio is our 13 year old Staffy and the oldest member of the family. When he first met everyone at Mochdre vet, he couldn’t walk properly due to the pain on his joints. Soon after he finished his laser treatment we joined the health plan – he was one of the first members 😊! Since then (six months ago), Baggio started hydrotherapy, monthly had two health checkups with Sarah, who kindly designed and reviewed a medication plan, helping him to be pain-free! He also learned to swim really well with Abbie who was really patient around his determination of NOT TO SWIM – ahahah! I feel that offering his opportunity was the best thing we could do for Baggio at this stage of his life! He is happy – flee and warm free – pain managed – exercised and most importantly very well looked after and loved by the whole team!

Thank you all!

We hope that our experience may benefit others choosing to join the health plan! After six months within the plan I must say that this was the best choice we made for Baggio.

Snoopy and Mrs Mack

“Thank you Sarah for Snoopy’s trial swim. I was 95/5% against her getting in the pool. To be fare auntie Gwenan wasn’t so sure as well. What a moment after a little paddle she was off. Aged 15, how wrong was I! Auntie Gwenan’s face says it all & it brought a little tear to my eye as well. The old saying you are never too old, my little mermaid!”

Theo spent 10 days at the vets and Auntie Sarah even took him home, we were updated daily with pictures, phone calls and text messages so we felt re-assured and relaxed the whole time …

… Sarah’s heart lies with making the animal better.

Alison and Misty Moo

For the past months Misty has gone twice a week for water treadmill and been on a strict exercise routine. What can I say but WOW! After the first month I had a happy puppy enjoying playing bitey face with her annoying bro. Her sitting stance was a lot better and with the extra exercises she was putting more weight on her leg. She has continued twice weekly with the water treadmill and loves it even wanting to go back in rather than have a shower at the end. She greets Abbie and Gwenan with licks and drags us up to it. She returned to agility on micro. As she came in all the group who had not seen her commented on how her whole body shape had become stronger and leaner. Moo was home she was so happy to be back doing what she loves.

Melanie and Zayni

It’s an amazing place – the facilities and finish are akin to a luxury spa and the care, assessment and treatment plan so professional but really friendly too which is so important. Both girls are wonderful. Haven’t experienced a water treadmill before. What a bonus for the area along with that incredible pool. Lovely to see a longtime dream become a reality.

Wishing Sarah and the team all the very, very best.

I have looked at your website and I am so excited! We will 100% be using you as our vet. I am so so passionate about the use of alternative therapies alongside veterinary treatment and it is just totally brilliant to have such a progressive practice in North Wales.

I have spent the last 7 years driving about 2-3 hours from my house to access things like underwater treadmill, physiotherapy, McTimoney and massage and trying to explain to vets that my dogs are athletes and need to access these things to keep them in peak condition and prevent injury even if they are currently fit and healthy!
