About Jacqui chittock
Dog’s have been an integral part of Jacqui’s life
Having been brought up on a Southland sheep farm surrounded by working dogs, Jacqui then worked at Gore Vets for eight years as a Veterinary Nurse specialising in orthopaedic surgeries and the care of small animals.
For the next twenty two years Jacqui and her husband were farming with a large team of working dogs (and pets). Several of them had surgeries and musculoskeletal issues and it was over this time that she developed a particular interest in the role of animal rehabilitation for post op cruciate surgery, osteoarthritis and improving the life of elderly dogs.

Happy Clients
“Bowen treatments for our dog Dougal have helped him with pain relief and stiffness. I personally find Bowen helps me release stress, and reduces aches and pain. I have a greater range of movement after treatments.
Jacqui is an outstanding practitioner and has not only a wealth of experience and knowledge but intuitiveness with magic hands.”
Lyn and Dougal
“Our wee Jack Russell/foxy cross dog, Ally, dislocated her hip a couple of years ago. We took her to the vets and she had surgery (Femoral head ostectomy). But after this she wasn’t making any progress. We were then recommended to Jacqui. After a few appointments we began to see a huge improvement. She sent us home with exercises that we could do with Ally. Now it’s like it never happened, back to her old self.
If we ever needed help with something like this we would not hesitate to send our dogs to Jacqui again. Could not recommend her more highly.”
