Our vet recommended Butterwick Animal Rehab Clinic after our gentle elderly rescue Meg miraculously survived being hit head on by a car, leaving her with nerve damage impacting her right foreleg. Although it isnt local to us, from the first conversation with Barbra, our thorough initial appointment with Amy and hydrotherapy sessions with Claire, we knew we had come to the best place not only for Meg, but for ourselves. They all took us under their wing, showing such empathy for our traumatising experience and its impact on us. As well as assessing Megs physical condition, we discussed in detail what we used to do with her and our hopes for the level of fitness she could regain. It was such a relief to get clear and firm guidance regarding what activities she should and should not be doing. As part of this we were given exercises to do with her at home, along with access to an online portal. It felt so positive and empowering to be an integral part of her rehabilitation and crucially provided Meg with mental as well as physical stimulation (cookie stretches being an immediate favourite!) Along with the hydrotherapy treadmill sessions, her tailored programme is not only helping with the foreleg injury, but movement in her arthritic hindlegs is also improving. Four weeks into her treatment, Meg is now confidently weight bearing on her injured leg and were up to 30mins slow walking a day. Moreover, with the clinics advice and support, we feel were returning to a more normal life together.

I couldn't thank them enough for all they have done for my dog Sophie, she had to have hip surgery when she was only a year old, after her check up at the vets they thought she might need more surgery. But after the great work of the Butterwick team, Sophie is doing great and running around with the other dogs and back to her old self.

Would highly recommend Butterwick to anyone who has a pooch that may need some assistance now or in the future. We started to notice that Milo was showing some discomfort and lameness end of last year and made a call to speak about it, we had a call back straight away where I discussed with Barbra what I thought was wrong and went through all the questions I had, this quickly followed up with a consultation where the team could assess Milo to see what the plan would be. Anyone who knows Milo knows he is the most loving dog in the world, however can be extremely nervous of new people, especially when it comes to being touched. Because of this, I am also very nervous because i always worry for him and how he is going to feel/react in situations, however, Amy ensured me that everything would be fine and we could work at Milos pace. Within weeks Milo opened up and fell in love with the team and now has no issues working with them - he is always super excited to attend and cant wait to get in! His progress has been great, we have had some niggles along the way however the team were straight on it, and responded within an hour to any messages/videos I sent so that we could set up a new plan to help the issue along the way. If it couldnt get any better we have been away for two weeks, and Butterwick have been sending me updates on Milo and his progress to keep my mind as rest (picture of Milo at hydro whilst Im away). Thank you Mark, Amy, Claire and Barbra for everything you have done for myself and Milo, you are all truly amazing!

I cannot thank all the staff at Butterwick Animal Rehab Clinic enough. Since the very first time Contacting them everyone has been so helpful, friendly, professional and compassionate. They have listened to all my concerns regarding Lunas back and leg and have devised a plan of treatment which has just blown me away. Within the first 2 weeks of physio and hydrotherapy Luna has improved so much, her pain has decreased, she can move more freely and she is a much happier content dog because of it. Its amazing to see her coming back to her old self and Im amazed at the difference in such a short time. I am so excited to see what the rest of the sessions product. Thanks to each and everyone one of you - you are bringing my precious Luna back to me. Each time I visit the clinic you make it feel like visiting family too.
