Django
“We started working with Josée shortly after our dog Django was diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia and recommended to have both hips replaced. She started seeing us before the first surgery to help us prepare. Django is very anxious and Josée took things very slow and made sure he was comfortable at all times.
We were excited to get back to physical rehab when he was ready after his first surgery. Josée helped us strengthen his operated leg while ensuring balance in his unoperated leg. His first surgery recovery was a huge success largely because of Josée. There were some complications with the second surgery which has led Django to be very behind in his recovery. We’ve started working with Josée again and are already seeing improvement and he’s gaining strength each day.
Django is now obsessed with Josée and gets so excited when she comes over. Josée is always great at explaining what she’s doing and gives great homework and resources. She always takes things slow and follows up to ensure he’s doing okay.”
Lyra
“Oh boy, where do I begin with Josée?
She’s like the dog whisperer meets the physical rehab practitioner guru! I honestly can’t thank her enough for the incredible care and support she has provided to Lyra, my four-legged troublemaker, over the last two years.
From the moment Lyra and I walked into Josée’s clinic, we were greeted with a level of warmth and enthusiasm that rivals a dog’s excitement for a game of fetch. It’s clear that Josée has a true passion for what she does, and boy, does it show in every session!
Lyra had been dealing with some mobility issues, and the vet diagnosed her with a torn CCL. Surgery was an option, but I wanted to explore other alternatives. That’s when Josée came into the picture, like a superhero with a cape made of rehabilitation knowledge. She convinced me that we could try a different route, and I thought, “Why not? Let’s give it a shot!” I was initially skeptical, but Josée’s thorough assessment of Lyra’s condition and her detailed questions about her history and symptoms put my mind at ease. She even observed Lyra’s movements and gait, gathering more information than an undercover detective on a mission.
But what really blew me away was the personalized treatment plan that Josée created for Lyra. She explained each exercise and technique in such detail that even I felt like a certified doggy physical rehab practitioner.
Not only did Josée provide top-notch care, but she also became like family to Lyra. You know how some dogs are a bit hesitant around strangers? Well, not with Josée! She quickly became Lyra’s “Auntie Josée,” and it was incredible to see how Lyra warmed up to her, even in a clinic environment. It’s like they had their own secret pawshake! And just when we thought things couldn’t get any crazier, Lyra managed to injure her second leg. But fear not, because Josée was there in a flash, ready to tackle the challenge head-on. It’s like she has a sixth sense for doggy injuries! Working with Josée is like being part of a dream team. She collaborates with you every step of the way, making sure you’re involved in the process. And let me tell you, that kind of collaboration is as rare as finding a dog who doesn’t go crazy over a squirrel!
Thanks to Josée’s exceptional care, Lyra is now back to her mischievous, active self. She truly takes the biscuit (or should I say, the dog treat)! I can’t recommend Josée enough to any dog owner in need of some rehabilitation wizardry. Just be prepared for your dog to become Josée’s number one fan. Trust me, it’s a win-win situation!”
Crosby
“We were incredibly fortunate to have Josée Greenacre as our dog’s physical rehabilitation practitioner for our beloved Crosby. From the moment she stepped into our home, her positive energy filled the room, bringing comfort and reassurance to both Crosby and us.
Josée’s extensive knowledge in dog physical rehabilitation was evident in every session. She took the time to explain each step of the process, ensuring we understood the purpose behind every treatment. Her genuine love for Crosby shone through in her tender care and lighthearted humor, making each session a joy for him.
Crosby eagerly awaited Josée’s visits, knowing that they brought not only physical relief but also a sense of companionship and warmth. Under her guidance, Crosby regained strength and mobility, vastly improving his quality of life.
What truly set Josée apart was her intuitive approach to her work. She understood Crosby’s needs on a deeper level, guiding us through his final days with compassion and wisdom. Her presence was a source of comfort during a difficult time, and we are forever grateful that she was part of Crosby’s journey.
Through Josée, we not only witnessed Crosby’s transformation but also gained invaluable knowledge about how to better support our furry friends’ physical well-being. Her dedication and genuine care have left a lasting impact on us, and we wholeheartedly recommend Josée to anyone seeking exceptional care for their beloved pets.”
Princi
“When we first received the news that our Bernese Princi has degenerative myelopathy, a very unfortunate diagnosis, we had no idea what to do. We were very lucky to find Josée who is the light as well as sound of reasoning and calmness on our journey. Every time when she comes for Princi’s session, she is immediately the highlight of the day for all of our dogs as her kindness and love for animals is endless.
When Josée’s car stops in front of our house Princi gets all excited and is waiting at the door. After each session we can see that she is relaxed and feeling good. Laser, massage, mobility exercises, wheelchair fitting, tips and tricks to keep Princi clean and happy… this is just a small portion of all the skills and knowledge that Josée is applying to help our girl to get comfortable in her “new” body. In addition, we have daily tasks to do to keep Princi’s nerve system going, like massage, stimulation, or mobility exercises.
I’m sure that Josée will stay in our lives for ever, even for our other dogs and we are very grateful that Princi brought her to us.

Kaela
“When our 10 year old hound, Kaela, started to have some stiffness in her back hips, I asked a trusted dog-owning friend if she could recommend someone who would give Kaela some physical rehab. Our friend recommended Josée, and we made our first appointment
with her. We are so happy to have made this connection!
The first fantastic thing is that Josée comes to your house and so your pet can receive care in the comfort and familiarity of your home.
The second fantastic thing is the treatments themselves. After careful observation and information gathering about Kaela’s situation, Josée began a physical rehab programme that yielded results almost immediately. Kaela was able to manage stairs, getting in the car, sitting and lying down with much greater ease.
The third fantastic thing is that we wanted to learn how to help Kaela and Josée was more than willing to teach us how to treat Kaela ourselves in-between her visits.
The fourth fantastic thing is Josée herself! She is serious about her professional expertise, while at the same time being loving and kind with our pet. We always enjoy having Josée in our home, and it is a true pleasure to see how much our Kaela loves to have the physical rehab sessions with her.”
Elsa
“After our St. Bernard had her second knee surgery, we wanted to ensure we were rehabbing Elsa correctly to keep her active and mobile for as long as possible. It’s not easy loading a 130 lb. dog with knee problems in a vehicle, so we were incredibly grateful and happy to find Josée’s mobile rehab services.
Josée has been a great support to us and Elsa. Our dog absolutely loves her, and you can tell Josée loves animals. She is gentle and patient with Elsa, while also ensuring Elsa does the work she needs to do. We really appreciate how communicative Josée has been in explaining what she is doing and teaching us how we can help Elsa.
Before we started physical therapy with Josée, we were really concerned about how Elsa would recover. Several sessions later, it’s not even a thought in our mind, as Elsa is back to her normal, bubbly, and active self. We highly recommend Josee!”

Murray
“My dog Murray has been attending physical rehabilitation with Josée for the past 3 years after rupturing his cruciate ligament and having to undergo TPLO surgery. Initially his therapy was for post operative rehabilitation. However, after seeing the benefits of Josée’s work on Murray’s physical and emotional wellbeing I have continued to work with Josée. These days he attends regular monthly maintenance combined with laser therapy, massage, stretching, strengthening and mobility exercises.
Over the last years, Josée has worked to improve Murray’s strength and stamina to help to maintain his mobility, and to reduce pain brought on by arthritis and age-related issues. Murray loves his visits with Josée so much he doesn’t want to leave when the appointment ends. Josée spoils her patients. Murray adores Josée and always tries his best especially when there is a treat involved.
I can honestly say Murray has and will continue to receive the best possible up to date care and treatment from Josée. I have and will continue to highly recommend Josée’s Animal Wellness Services.”
