Extract “…Best practice is to try to prevent injuries. If your pet does get injured, make sure to consult a qualified veterinary physiotherapist. Veterinary physiotherapists are trained to treat injured tissue, strengthen the weakened area and maintain the body as a whole throughout the period of healing. All three aspects are important. Once the tissue is healed, the therapist will advise on how to start sports retraining appropriately to get the canine athlete back to their previous level of competition. When muscles are tight, they have reduced power to act correctly and they pull joints out of alignment. This results in other muscles having to compensate for the improperly functioning muscles, which in turn predisposes the dog to injury. A little foresight and knowledge can make a huge difference to your dog’s enjoyment and success in agility work. Please bear these pointers in mind, and enhance the experience of agility for both you and your dog.
