About Us
Hello there! 👋
Let me introduce myself. My name is Holly. I am the founder of Hoof & Hound Veterinary Physiotherapy.
Our story
From a very young age, I have been passionate and dedicated to learning the silent language of animals that tells us everything we need to know. As keepers, carers, and animal lovers, it is our job to advocate for the animals that need our help and that is what I have spent the last 20 years trying to achieve.
From owning my own pets, to working in pet stores, farms, zoos, veterinary facilities, and research, I have worked with endless numbers of species (in-situ and ex-situ) to learn more about them, provide the best care, and optimise their state of living.
Me myself and I? I enjoy reading fantasy and sci-fi, and I enjoy being outside, only made better by the presence of my gorgeous 4 year old and amazingly supportive other half.
Our history
From modest beginnings, we've grown through unwavering dedication and a commitment to continuous improvement in animal health, welfare and enrichment. Each step has reinforced our core belief in the power of collaboration and the importance of integrity. We're passionate about what we do, and we're excited to share our experience with you.
