Keep fit with your dog

Most of us want to be fitter - and we all want our dogs to be as happy and healthy as possible - and Steph Evans can help us achieve that. And we - and our dogs - can have fun at the same time!

Steph spend part of her time lecturing in animal therapy at Hartpury University (U.K.) and part time helping dogs attain and stay in good health, in her canine Physiotherapy business, VetPhysPro, where you can also find links to her social media pages. Her specialism is encouraging people to exercise and get fit with their dogs!

Holistic animal approach

Lisa Tully is a holistic animal practitioner who not only treats the animals who are referred to her, but she looks into the dynamic between the pet and their human, and often has insights into the person’s health which they had no idea about.

In Lisa’s experience our dogs often reflect our physical and mental health. She can also communicate with domestic and wild animals such as seals and large cats. She works with all kinds of animals - including beautiful dogs - using skills such a zoopharmacognosy where animals self select their own healing botanicals.
