Do you know what pain looks like?
Most people don’t!
Charlie’s Case Study:
Charlie came to me after her Mom, Alex, noticed that her hind legs looked longer than her front, and wondered if this was normal.
Multiple vets, including a neurologist couldn’t find anything amiss, yet Alex was sure that something wasn’t quite right….she just couldn’t put her finger on it.
We decided to do a Dynamic Dog Assessment - Alex sent me all the photos and videos required for analysis.
Once the assessment was completed my report was submitted to their veterinarian. It took a little bit of convincing, but eventually the vet agreed to do X-Rays which confirmed spondylosis of T12-L4 and mild hip dysplasia in the right femoral head.
“Vet was actually pretty surprised to see this given how stoic Charlie is.” - Alex

“Working with a Dynamic Dog Practitioner helps us to get to a faster diagnosis for the patient. The report and videos provided are invaluable. It is a win-win for the veterinary team and client-patient relationship.”
Why a Dynamic Dog Assessment?
There is a HUGE correlation between PAIN and BEHAVIOUR, but unfortunately pain can be really hard to identify - even for professionals.
Why is pain the name of the game?
It's not always a limp or a whine! Pain related behaviour is extremely complex. Dogs don't often show that they are in discomfort in ways we would usually expect, it is often subtle and goes unnoticed for weeks, months and even years!
As a Dynamic Dog Practitioner I can confidently spot potential signs of discomfort and relay them to your vet so that you and your dog find relief sooner.
Assessments are conducted remotely, via video and photo evidence collected in and around your home - where your dog feels safest.
The majority of the dogs I work with suffer from fear and/or anxiety, which makes vet appointments & physical exams very challenging - if not impossible.
A Dynamic Dog Assessment is able to bridge the gap between home and clinic, providing the much need information that your vet maybe missing.
Behaviours that can be connected to pain or discomfort:
Separation Anxiety
Reactive towards dogs/people
Reluctant to go on walks
Sound sensitivity
Resource guarding
Sensitive to touch
Hesitant going up/down stairs
Restless at night - unable to settle

“Bey’s just had her hip X-rays done and it’s been confirmed…She has hip dysplasia!
Not that I’m at all happy about this, but relieved in a way to have this confirmation and an avenue to pursue to help support her in feeling better.
We’ll be referred to a rehab specialist and a surgeon to discuss our options. ”

What Clients Are Saying
”I just wanted to let you know that Indy saw an osteopath last month and she was very impressed with your report and knowledge thanks again for assessing her it has helped a lot."
— Kristen & Indy (Dynamic Dog)
“I met with Rocko's vet today. Like me, she was impressed and found your analyses clear and helpful. She also liked being able to see him at home in a variety of contexts especially when he's calm (ie, not vet-clinic-stressed). We’re going to x-ray everything since throat, back and limbs could all be implicated. Thanks again for helping me make the case so well that something's off. We really appreciate it.”
