TREATMENT:
EMMETT for Dogs and their Humans is now available. Initially treatment for dogs will be in your own home.
An additional travel fee will be discussed – depending on how far you are away from my home in Carmarthenshire.
How can I help your dog?
Perky Pups
"I want to be happy with being handled with a gentle touch. I will grow so quickly that sometimes I will need help to keep all my little muscles flexible & comfortable."
Single appointments, packages and subscriptions are available
Agile and Able Dogs
"I enjoy running around and jumping over things – anything! Sometimes, I am a bit TOO daring and may hurt myself. Once checked over by my vet I like to have some relaxing and gentle muscle work to keep me comfortable."

Comfort for Older Canines
"My days of running around and jumping about are well and truly over. I like to have some relaxing and gentle muscle work to keep me comfortable and to help keep the stiffness at bay."

"Can you also look after my Humans and make sure they are well enough to take me for my runs or walks, bend over to fuss me or to pick me up when I need a cuddle – or they do!"

Please note that the advice on having Veterinary Permission before all dogs are treated has changed very recently and we are now given the following guidance.
“The following guidance has been issued by the RCVS in relation to veterinary consent for competition and maintenance care:
The RCVS recognises that there has been some doubt as to whether therapists require a veterinary referral for maintenance work, such as massage, in a healthy animal.
The new guidance sets out the existing rules for musculoskeletal treatment of illness, disease or pathology, and clarifies that healthy animals do not require a veterinary referral for maintenance care.
The guidance stresses that all therapists are part of the vet-led team, and that any animal, including healthy ones, should be registered with a veterinary surgeon and referred to a vet at the first sign of any symptoms that may suggest underlying health issues.
The guidance also notes that vets should be confident that the musculoskeletal therapist is appropriately qualified; indicators of this can include membership of a voluntary regulatory body with a register of practitioners, and associated standards of education and conduct, supported by a complaints and disciplinary process. This includes such bodies as RAMP, AHPR and IAAT.
We must stress that this new legislation only refers to fully qualified therapists. All students studying with TCAP must continue to obtain vet consent for any case studies”.
My application to join IAAT is currently pending. This will make it much easier to work with you and your dog.
