Welcome to
Golden Vet Physio

What Services do we provide?
We offer home visit structured appointments within the Oxfordshire area, allowing your pet to feel relaxed and stress-free for their treatments.
Every animal referred to us is treated as an individual, no two are the same. We do not compare one animals recovery progress to another, each has a tailored treatment plan, focusing on individual and realistic goals. Ensuring safe and effective care is provided to your animal aids optimal outcomes for their recovery and future.
Communication with all professionals who care for your animal, ensures a multidisciplinary approach to your animals health. Vets, Hydrotherapists, Behaviourists, Trainers, Groomers/Farriers etc., all have individual roles within your animals care, and collaboration is key when it comes to their comfort and wellbeing.
What exactly is Veterinary Physiotherapy?
Veterinary Physiotherapy is a science-based approach to improving an animal's comfort, strength, and mobility. It combines manual therapies (massage, stretching, joint mobilisation), electrotherapies (such as Pulsed Electromagnetic Energy), and tailored exercise programmes to treat injury, reduce pain, and enhance performance.
Unlike general massage, Veterinary Physiotherapy is carried out by qualified professionals registered with RAMP, ensuring evidence-based, safe, and effective care.
