Physiotherapy isn’t reserved
By Bryony Van Niekerk I am pretty sure I am preaching to the choir here. If you are reading Pet Prints then chances are your pets are living a life of luxury. And if we are really being honest, our pets already think they are royalty. The cat who sits on the counter staring you down until you fill their (already full) bowl? Royalty.
