Hip dysplasia is sadly a common disease, affecting many breeds of dogs. But there is something that you can do to help.
The Hip Health Project is a research project which aims to look at the benefit of physiotherapy and rehabilitation techniques on the outcomes of dogs with hip dysplasia.
Following years of successful non surgical treatments of dogs, we are looking to collect as much information as possible and help your pet in the process.
The Hip Health Project is a series of consultations or classes that helps build strength and fitness to help your dog live its best life. We can help;
The Hip Health Project exercise program is a series of modules delivered once a month for six months.
Each module includes videos and ebooks to demonstrate and describe the exercise, its benefits and more importantly, how to train your dog to do it.
Enroling in our face to face program allows you to have one on one support with our lead vet for the Hip Health Project Lindy. Face to face sessions are located in Newcastle, NSW. Please contact Lindy directly to enrol for face to face
Our online program is self sufficient. We will give you access to our modules throughout the 6 month schedule and you can work through them yourself with your canine at the schedule pace. If you interested in our online program, please fill in our enrolment form online
Please note, sometimes your dog may have trouble with certain exercises, and you may need longer to complete the program. We highly recommend you work at your dog’s pace.
Additional consultations required for completion will be charged
Face to face : $93.50
Online : $75.00

When Joey was about 6 months old we noticed he would whimper when rolling over asleep, or going from a drop to stand position, and he would only be able to withstand walks for about 10 mins. All of this made
Daisy Dillon : December 2021 I wanted to thank you so much for giving me hope for Daisy. When we first saw you I really struggled to see what Daisy’s future could be after an indication of hip replacements, pain management and the doubt of her being large enough to even have surgery. I really worried that we wouldn’t have her for very long. Thankfully the tools you’ve given Daisy and I have changed my vision for now and the fact that she is pain and medication free, living a
Our Rehab journey with our beautiful boy Clancy Within 30 minutes of dropping our gorgeous Golden Retriever pup to get de-sexed we received a phone call from Lindy informing us that she was concerned about his hips. Lindy asked if we would consent to an Xray of Clancy’s hips whilst he was under anaesthetic to determine just how bad the situation was. We were devastated. However, in hindsight we had noticed that Clancy would often stop on short walks, he would simply lay down as if to say…”that is enough
