About Quattro Animal Physiotherapy 

Quattro Animal Physiotherapy comes from a long-time love of animals, and a passion to give them the longest, happiest life I can. 

 

Our first family pet was a wonderful little Maltese-Schitzu called Minty, named after the Allen’s Minties sweets my mum had stored in her car, to avoid my sister and I arguing over other ridiculous options. She was brilliant. She took up half the bed when she slept with me, and growled at me if I moved! We were lucky that she never suffered much in the way of injuries or sickness, only passing away in 2016 at the great age of 15. 

 

My luck with the horses however, not so good. I have ridden and competed up to international levels with my horses, and sadly had the experiences of injury and pain effects with them. This was largely what led me down the path of studying to become a Veterinary Physiotherapist, so that I could be on the more helpful side to animal welfare. Being able to offer improvements to the comfort of four-legged family members everywhere is why Quattro started, and using my platform and education to advocate for and help our pets is the purpose. 

 

Since moving to Sydney, Australia, I get to enjoy the dreamy outdoor lifestyle and wonderful neighbourhood I live in that is, very happily, saturated with dogs and cats! As a mobile service, I can bring my knowledge and my toolkit straight to your pet’s favourite bed, where they are happiest and most confident. I can help advise on considerations for the home to minimise risk with older, young, injured or post-operative pet patients. 

 

If you see me around Balmain and have any questions please don’t hesitate to stop me! Otherwise, I look forward to getting your phone calls and messages on your journey to get your pets feeling happier and healthier!
