Hamish
“Hi I’m Hamish and I’m nearly 16. As I’ve got older, arthritis has really stopped me enjoying life and getting around. Medication helps but since I’ve been having regular acupuncture – woof what a difference! I’m even back to dancing for my dinner. I can’t recommend Kate enough. She is so gentle, kind and caring and life is so much better for my regular treatments with her.”
Barney
“Hi I’m Barney and I’m 11. Sadly I tore my cruciate ligament in my back leg chasing a squirrel. Mum, Dad and vet Sharon decided I wouldn’t cope with surgery and being in a crate for weeks afterwards. They decided to spare me surgery and try medication, rest and acupuncture. My regular treatments with Kate mean that I can now enjoy my walks again and bimbling about in the garden. I’ve always been so scared of going to the vets but I love my sessions with Kate – I feel so chilled during and afterwards.”
Alice
“This is Alice our lovely Saluki. Kate was recommended to us by a consultant veterinary surgeon who was treating Alice for a shoulder injury. After just four acupuncture sessions with Kate the improvement in her movement was very apparent. Although Alice is not particularly fond of vets she always gave Kate a very enthusiastic greeting which to me indicated that the dog was appreciative of the treatment that she was receiving and that Kate’s manner was perfect for a, sometimes, sensitive Saluki.”
Millie
“I brought Millie in to see Kate due to her suffering with nerve pain from a recent RTA. Kate was very helpful throughout her treatment and made sure Millie felt relaxed at each session. Millie can sometimes be a very stressed cat when visiting places but this did not seem to faze her at all which made the process for me a lot better. It was lovely to see the difference in Millie after each treatment. I would recommend trying acupuncture to others in the future.”
Daphne
“Daphne had a pelvis injury when she was a puppy and her back legs have always been a bit wonky. She isn’t on any medication at the moment but Kate has made lots of recommendations to help keep her comfortable and some exercises to strengthen her back legs. Daphne LOVES ‘Fit club’ and learning the new exercises that Kate gives us – although she is a lot better for Kate than for me!”
Merry
“It will be good for people to know how much acupuncture improved Merry’s quality of life so she could play, go upstairs and get on the sofa again.”
Margot
“Margot loves her monthly acupuncture session with Kate. There is great excitement when she knows it is a ‘Dr Kate Day’. Kate also recommended Librela to ease Margot’s arthritis pain as she couldn’t take regular painkillers. Our vet hadn’t even heard of it! It was brilliant when we were finally able to get hold of it, which along with her regular sessions of acupuncture has made a big difference.”
Dotty
“Since regularly receiving acupuncture Dotty has become much more athletic and can now get on the boiler again!”
