And I'm a dog lover just like you. My parents brought home our family dog when I was 10, a yellow lab puppy. Her name was Bubbles and my parents thought she'd be more my brother's dog...well they were wrong! I fell in love and have been a bit dog obsessed since. Bubbles lived until she was 16.5 years old.
My current dog is a yellow lab named Maggie Mae and she's now 13. When she was 4 she had surgery on both knees 8-weeks apart for torn cruciate ligaments. If you're in this situation and are feeling more than a little stress, I've been there and it WILL get better!
How I treat dogs is based on my own lived experience, my experience with the hundreds of client owned dogs I've had the opportunity to work with and my education as a physiotherapist.
I started Pawsitively Fit Canine Rehabilitation & Wellness in the spring of 2017 when I was pregnant with my first child. Pawsitively Fit helps dedicated dog owners by restoring their dog's mobility and comfort through personalized physiotherapy - so they can enjoy more good days together. We work with dogs in Kingston, Ontario and the surrounding area.
I became a physiotherapist since 2010 and earned my Diploma in Canine Rehab through the Animal Rehab Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association in 2018. Outside of working with dogs, I am mom of two young kids, love reading (personal development and murder mysteries are my favourite!) and love being active myself! I've been known to run races wearing dog ears and tail in order to raise money for charity!!
