“I really enjoyed myself, there were so many opportunities to ask questions, the information and demonstrations were clear and have given me the confidence to hopefully help my own dog (or someone elses!)”


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.

“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!”

Mr jack has had 2 sessions of Reiki with Abbie.
He has ‘behavioural issues’ and is often impatient and will occasionally ‘take off’ whilst being led from his field to his stable.
He always seems to need something in his mouth…
Rope, hay , fork handles, clothing or humans.
During his first session I was with Abbie in his stable.
For the first few minutes he was restless and trying to nip or turning round.
However, after a few minutes he seemed to calm down and appeared quite relaxed.
I definitely felt he was enjoying and accepting it.
The second session I left Abbie to it just keeping an eye out from time to time. He was very calm and relaxed, almost asleep, with no hay needed. The session was almost an hour, and the majority of that time he was calm relaxed and obviously ‘accepting ‘ the treatment.
Since then I do feel he is calmer overall. I will definitely pursue this therapy for him.
