There are many steps towards enhancing wellness into your dog’s life.

We offer expert advice, support, compassion, care, empathy and understanding in a positive, healing and welcoming environment.

Along the journey, we will educate and empower you to make meaningful changes to your dog’s wellbeing. While our focus is on functional wellness, we’re also realistic about what can be achieved outside of the Centre. We’ll work with you to set goals and ensure our recommended conditioning programs reflect your priorities and lifestyle, and the abilities of your dog.

OUR SERVICES

Happy Pawrents

  • Kathleen & Ghost

    Ghost has been seeing Pearl for 6 months now, and she doesn't have any pain relief or arthritis injections anymore. The exercises and massage has changed Ghost for the better, she's more energetic and stronger, she also takes Antinol (recommended by Pearl) which I would also attribute to her new found lease on life. 100% would recommend Pearl and The Dog Wellness Centre to everyone.

  • Alex

    I was truly blown away by the experience at our first visit at The Dog Wellness Centre. Pearl was amazing. By the end of our session, my dog felt very comfortable with her. He is usually quite friendly but aloof with 'strangers'. She was very detailed orientated and I was impressed with passion and focus she demonstrated during our session.

  • Jennifer & Nola

    Pearl, Kayla and the team at the dog wellness centre are fantastic people who really listened to our Kelpie X Nola and helped her recovery from FHO surgery. Pearl gave us the right plan to get Nola on the path to enjoying her life again and Kayla made her hydro sessions fun and at the right level for Nola to develop her muscles. Highly Recommend. Personal caring team with a lovely environment where the doggies don’t even get stressed by others waiting with an entry that keeps them apart and feeling relaxed. Thanks Dog Wellness Centre !!

  • Liam, Annie & Obi

    I would highly recommend anyone whose dog has previously had surgery to go visit The Dog Wellness Centre. Pearl and Kayla have been amazing to deal with and have a genuine love and passion for dogs and their wellbeing. Our 2 year old English Bulldog has had two TPLO surgery back to back, and the physio and hydrotherapy have helped him immensely with mobility and strengthening his legs. He's now back to drooling all over the house :)

  • Stephanie & Louie

    Pearl has been amazing with both her knowledge, helping us apply the homework for our dog Louie and her warm manner. When we had the choice of surgery or physio we chose physio and we are 100% happy with this decision & the results. I would highly recommend Pearl & The Dog Wellness Centre.
