 THE IW Natural Therapy
Centre for Animals
in
Ryde is holding an open
day as part of National Pet Week.
Visitors are welcome to visit the centre at
Aldermoor
Farm in Upton Road between
10am and 4pm next Saturday,
May 6.
The centre offers a wide range of natural
therapies for
cats, dogs and horses, which
are designed to be gentle,
holistic and complementary to
the skills and methods of veterinary medicine.
Treatments on offer include
chiropractic, hydrotherapy, massage,
laser, ultrasound and deep heat and clinical
director Vav Simon performs
many of the therapies herself,
while mainland vet
Roger
Meacock visits regularly to do
acupuncture and homeopathy.
Both experts will he present
at the open day, which is
designed to be a fun day out for all the family, but complements the ethos of National
Pet Week to encourage people to be more responsible,
better pet owners.
Visitors will be able to see dog obedience displays by the
IW Dog Training Society,
which will include tips on
being a more responsible dog
owner and how to train a pet
not to foul pavements or bite.
There will also be raffles and fun competitions with
small prizes, plus a chance to
check out the dog swimming
facilities
and
learn
more
about the different treatments
available.
Friends Of The Animals
and other rescue charities will
be on hand to tell you more
about their work, while centre staff will he giving talks about
improving the fitness of pets and providing better diets,
particularly for dogs.
Many Island vets refer animals to the centre for treatment. Referrals must be made
by your vet for rehabilitation
programmes but are usually
made by owners for fitness
and fun programmes.
Entrance to the open day is
free. |
