✨ What a week of CPD! ✨

Amy just wrapped up 20 hours of CPD in three incredible days of learning, and her brain is definitely buzzing (in the best way!). As a vet physio, continuous professional development is absolutely essential—it keeps our skills sharp, our knowledge current, and ensures we’re giving every animal the best possible care. 🐾💙

🧠 Day 1: Started with a brilliant webinar on myofascial lines—so fascinating to learn more on how improving fascial function can transform movement, form, and overall performance.

🦶 Day 2: A hands-on, jam-packed deep dive into orthotics—how they work, how to fit them, and even how to make custom splints and devices. A huge shout-out to the amazing Di Messum for sharing her expertise!

🏋️ Day 3: Finished strong with a full day of conditioning and performance enhancement with Daisy at Pure Balance - Canine Osteopathy & Rehabilitation So many game-changing takeaways for the sporting dogs.

Feeling inspired, empowered, and excited to bring all this new knowledge back to the patients of Taylored Pet Therapies. This is exactly why CPD matters—because our animals deserve the very best. 💪✨

This!!!!

The animal world has morphed and accepted ALOT in recent years however old habits die hard. I still hear a lot of "she's just moody" or "He's really playing me up" but the fact of it is animals just don't think that way.

Animals have thoughts and feelings but they are a lot simpler than ours, they don't do things just to get a rise out of you. It will be simpler principles such as stress, pain, fear or boredom.

Many of the behaviours that bother us as owners fall into one of the above categories and then it's down to us to find out the cause and get on top of it in order to remove the behaviour we don't want to see.

All our animals are trying to do is communicate with us, it's just about us being prepared to listen
