In this fasinating chat between two animal physiotherapists, Dr Gillian Tabor and Canine physio Tom Daly, discuss the many similarities and differences in treating horses and dogs.

Tom discusses his passion for helping dogs, the powers of water therapy for dogs

In a typical day, Tom would treat dogs that have:

• Joint issues - such as arthritis, hip or elbow displacer
• Cruciate issues in need of support
• Neurological - inc discs and back issues

With osteoporosis - how can a physio help make a dog more comfortable in their day-to-day lives? Tom explains some of the signs and behaviours to look for which may indicate that your dog is suffering from painful joints.

How does a cruciate issue affect your dog? It is a very common issue that Tom helps many dogs with; these can be caused by chasing squirrels and damage caused by chasing fastballs! Do you use a chuck-it-ball throw?! You may reconsider after listening to the damage they can cause to your dog's cruciate ligaments!

Water treadmills vs treadmills - why are they so useful and helpful in recuperating dogs? And when would a physio use them?
