Long Home Visit Dog Physio (Sydney)
For complex cases or anxious dogs needing extra time. PT examines & treats your dog at home.
Service Description
Our qualified physiotherapist travels to your home to assess your dog, listen to your concerns, discuss your goals & start getting your dog back to their best life. A longer appointment gives your dog time to relax after the Physio's arrival, meaning she can identify any issues at the first session & give you practical advice to address them. Quite often a change in your dog's behaviour can be a sign of hidden pain. Call 0457 877 321 to book - Appointments usually available in next 48-72 hours. We offer several ways to soothe & reduce pain such as laser treatment, massage, gentle manipulation and acupuncture, often in combination. Once any pain is identified and under control, the Physio will address the root cause so we can prevent it recurring. This involves closely analysing their movements, retraining muscles and improving stability of joints. We use video gait analysis for cases where it isn't immediately obvious where the problem lies, viewing your dog moving in slow motion or frame-by-frame to pinpoint the exact location of dysfunction or pain. The physiotherapist will liaise with your Vet, Specialists and Behaviouralists as required to ensure a holistic & joined-up approach. What to expect: - The Physio is experienced with fearful, anxious & reactive dogs, and will call you prior to the appointment to ask how best to approach your dog. - Your dog will NOT be forced to do anything if they're uncomfortable or scared. Sometimes they only allow us to physically touch them after a few visits. - Physio is gentle and does NOT cause any pain. Appropriate treatment options will be discussed with you based on the findings of the assessment, any medical conditions or medications your pet may have, and your Vet's opinion (if appropriate). *Visits further than approx. 30 mins drive from Caringbah, NSW may require up to $30 additional travel charge. The physiotherapist endeavours to arrange visits in a similar geographical area on the same day to avoid clients having to pay this travel charge. However this is not always possible due to client availability, case urgency & the ever increasing traffic & tolls in the Sydney area* $100 non-refundable deposit (deducted from the total) is required to secure booking, as the Physiotherapist travels all around Sydney to accommodate her valued patients. The balance is due on the day at the conclusion of the appointment. Call 0457 877 321 to book, and ask any questions you like!
Cancellation Policy
Home Visit Charges; For Sydney visits to addresses under approximately 30 minutes drive from Caringbah 2228, the travel cost is absorbed into your Visit fee. For visits to addresses over 30 minutes but under 60 minutes drive from Caringbah 2228, there may be an added travel charge to contribute towards the extra driving time & fuel (more time driving = less clients visited). THIS WILL BE DISCUSSED WITH YOU BEFORE YOU BOOK (no nasty surprises!!). The Physio endeavours to arrange appointments within the same area on the same day to avoid having to ask her valued clients to pay this extra charge. However sometimes this is unavoidable. A $100 deposit is required for new clients first bookings and is deducted from the total charge at the end of the visit. The balance is payable at the Visit via bank transfer, card, PayID or cash. You may also pay the total amount in full when you pay the deposit, if you wish. If you need to change the appointment day or time, please give as much notice as possible by calling or texting 0457 877 321. We will try our best to rebook you ASAP. If you cancel the appointment with less than 24 hours to go before the appointment time, the Deposit is non-refundable (except in circumstances in which the physiotherapist judges it should be waived, for example, an emergency such as the dog is unexpectedly admitted for surgery). In the unlikely event the physiotherapist cancels your appointment, you can either transfer the Deposit to a rearranged appointment time, or you can ask for it to be refunded to you. Refunds take the number of days stated by your Bank and Square Payments Terms & Conditions and this is (annoyingly) several days and out of our control. Appointment Reminders: You'll receive an email with a reminder of your appointment approximately 48 hours prior to your appointment. Receipts: You will be emailed a receipt on payment. Pet Insurance: If your Insurance Company requires the clinical notes, they usually contact us directly to request them. If you need a particular type of invoice or receipt of payment, please just ask. Purchase of Equipment or Supplies from DogFit PT: Should you wish to purchase any equipment from the Physio at the appointment, payment will be taken at the time using the same methods. Please ask if you require a Receipt. Vet Communication: Unless you inform us otherwise, we'll update your Vet with any findings and our management plan.
