🥳 Round of Applause for Sookie! 🥳
This lovely little Spaniel lady has gone from 19.80kg down to 14.35kg! How incredible is that?! 🐾
Losing over 27% of her body weight is a massive achievement. Sookie looks fantastic, and is also feeling the benefits in her joints, her energy levels, and her overall quality of life. Extra weight puts significant strain on a dog's frame, so this transformation is a huge win for her long-term health!
Huge well done to Sookie's owner for her dedication, and the expert guidance from our nutrition focused staff member Laura, who made sure Sookie was losing weight safely and sustainably 💙

Pet of the Month: Troye! 🌟
Favourite activities: Swimming (pre-injury!) and eating!
Favourite toy: Before his injury, he loved chasing his ball around the field.
Favourite treat: Cheese!
Special talent: Persuading anyone that he definitely needs another treat, even if he's just had one!
Owners report: Troye is a six year old Cockapoo who loves to show his affection by giving everyone kisses! Thanks to everyone at SMART for helping Troye in his long recovery. The team are great.
Troye is a total superstar who has been working through a complex orthopaedic recovery. Following an advanced specialist review, he was diagnosed with bilateral cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) ruptures and bilateral Grade 4 lateral patella luxation.
He has just completed his second major surgery - a Cranial Closing Wedge Osteotomy (CCWO) - and has been an absolute joy to have as an inpatient here at Smart Clinic 💙
The Importance of "Pre-hab"
Troye’s progress is a great example of how physiotherapy and rehabilitation aren't just for after surgery. Starting a rehab program before a procedure can significantly accelerate recovery. By building muscle strength and maintaining joint flexibility early on, the body is much better equipped to heal once the surgery is complete.
A Huge Shout-out to Troye’s Owners
Recovering from bilateral injuries takes a lot of heart and hard work. Troye’s owners have been doing a fantastic job managing his post-operative care and keeping him on track. Their dedication is the reason Troye is doing so well!
Well done Team Troye - keep up that amazing progress! 🐾
