- What exactly is your service?
-
We help horses, dogs cats and a few other animals recover their health, improve their fitness or simply have fun exercising.
- Why should I be interested?
-
As a pet owner, there will be times when you want him to get better after an illness, injury or health problem, and your vet can refer to us for that rehabilitation work. This might
mean mobilizing limbs that don’t work well, losing weight, moving faster or stronger, or reducing pain-killing medications.
-
Or you may want your healthy animal to get fitter, to perform better at shows, competition or work.
-
Or you might simply want your dog to have a fun-swim, perhaps benefiting from increased fitness too.
- Will it work for my animal?
-
Many people are unsure about complementary treatments when they first come across the option. However, very few are disappointed and most are delighted – by the results, the individual
attention and the inexpensive cost.
-
Look around the website for background information about these approaches to health and about us – or phone or visit to find out more.
- What kind of results can I expect with this service?
-
You can expect a professional service where explanations are always given for what we find and what we do.
-
Also, you can get your hopes up – in almost every situation, there is some improvement we can bring. If we are sure we cannot help in some way, we will be honest and tell you so.
-
We have helped animals for whom there was very little hope – even those for whom the euthanasia needle was only minutes away. We have teamed up with talented vets to achieve miracles
that would not have been possible by either professional working alone. We have made such a difference that some competitors and trainers call Vav Simon their ‘secret weapon’!
- Who else has used this service and what were their results?
-
Almost every animal owner on the Isle of Wight has heard of Vav Simon and the Natural Therapy Centre for Animals.
-
So ask the next few animal owners you meet. We are confident you will hear positive feedback. One farmer once said “I’ve heard nothing bad about you, and that’s rare with the Island
gossip!”
- How exactly do your services work?
-
Your first session will always be with Vav Simon, clinical director, so that she can assess your pet’s condition and decide a treatment plan. Because of this, the first session will
often take longer than subsequent ones. We will take notes on a Record Card and check that you understand what the treatment involves before proceeding.
-
- Do you have the experience to help me?
-
Vav Simon has worked with animals all her life. She is trained as a doctor of chiropractic, in massage, in hydrotherapy, first aid and various other treatment methods. She has an
exceptional talent and often knows what is right for the animal before the owner tells her. She is confident that she can help most problems that do not require surgery or drugs, and is very clear about drawing a line if
the problem is beyond her experience or abilities.
-
- How can I find out more?
-
We have a wide variety of posters, leaflets and newsletters. We hold monthly evening lectures on a variety of animal-related topics. We have occasional Open Days. We have a detailed
website. We are happy for you to drop in to see our facilities (though we may not always have someone free to take you on an extended tour!) Or – as we said above – ask other animal owners either nearby or in clubs and
associations.
