Expert veterinary physiotherapy advice for your dog from the comfort of your own home.

 

If attending an in-person appointment feels difficult — whether due to distance, mobility, behaviour, time constraints or personal preference — an online consultation can be a practical and effective alternative.

​

Originally introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, online consultations are now a well-established option for owners who want professional, personalised support without the stress of travel. They are particularly useful for movement assessment, lifestyle guidance, rehabilitation support and helping you decide on next steps.

I work alongside vets and dog owners across the UK and internationally.

Is an Online Vet Physiotherapy Consultation right for you & your dog?

An online physiotherapy consultation may be helpful if

​

• You’ve noticed changes in your dog’s movement, posture or behaviour

• Your dog seems stiff, uncomfortable, or not quite themselves

• You have videos of your dog walking, running or resting for review

• You’re unsure whether your dog is in pain or needs further investigation

• You’d like guidance on exercise, walking routines, home setup or recovery

• Your dog struggles with travel, unfamiliar environments or handling

• You live outside my local area but would like expert canine physiotherapy input

Online consultations are suitable for dogs of all ages, breeds and activity levels.

​

How Do Online Consultations Work?​​ Before your appointment

To help me prepare for your consultation

• I will contact your vet to request referral and relevant clinical history

• You’ll complete a short owner questionnaire

• You’ll receive guidance on how to send videos and photos of your dog

• We’ll arrange a video call via FaceTime, WhatsApp or Messenger — whichever is easiest for you

​

During your Consultation

• Using your videos alongside live discussion, I will assess your dog’s movement, posture and functional ability.

• We’ll talk through your concerns in detail, and I’ll explain my findings in clear, practical terms so you understand what may be contributing to what you’re seeing at home.

​

​

Every online consultation includes

• Professional Vet Physiotherapy advice tailored to your dog

• Guidance on exercise, walking and daily routine management

• Advice on home environment setup, rest and activity modification

Follow Up Support​

Online Vet Physiotherapy FAQs For Your Dog

​

Can Online Vet Physiotherapy really help?

Yes. Online consultations are highly effective for movement assessment, gait analysis, lifestyle advice and rehabilitation support. By reviewing videos and discussing your dog’s history, I can provide clear, practical guidance tailored to their needs.

​

What Conditions can you Help with Online?

Common reasons include arthritis, stiffness, reduced mobility, post-operative recovery, chronic pain, neurological conditions, age-related weakness and behaviour changes linked to discomfort.

​

Do I need a vet referral for an online consultation?

Yes. Veterinary consent is required before any physiotherapy consultation. I will contact your vet directly to obtain referral and relevant clinical history.

What Videos will I Need to Provide?

You’ll receive simple guidance, but typically short videos of your dog walking, standing and resting at home are ideal.

 

Can you diagnose my dog’s condition online?

I cannot diagnose medical conditions. However, I can assess movement, identify areas of concern, support rehabilitation and advise when further veterinary investigation may be needed.
 

Are online consultations suitable for senior dogs?

Yes, absolutely! they are often particularly helpful for senior dogs, as they can be assessed comfortably in their own environment, reducing stress while allowing a more natural view of their movement and behaviour.
