Rehabilitation & Performance for Sport Dogs
Sports veterinarian with experience in mushing, agility, canicross, and obedience. I work with you so your dog performs better, gets injured less, and competes for more years.
A veterinarian who knows your sport from the inside
Since 2015 I’ve worked as a mushing veterinarian in competitions across Spain, France, Norway, Canada, and Alaska. I’ve been the veterinarian for the Spanish obedience team at a World Championship, I’ve worked with top-level agility dogs, and I’ve advised search-and-rescue and police dog teams. I know what a start line, a demanding season, and a dog that gives everything really feel like.
That’s why my guidance goes beyond treating injuries: I optimize your dog’s performance, prevent problems before they appear, and extend their sporting career, all online and tailored to your discipline.
Whether you do mushing, canicross, bikejöring, agility, obedience, or French ring, or work with rescue or service dogs, we design a tailored plan together: exercise based on goals and fitness, injury prevention, and rapid recovery protocols when needed, with continuous follow-up and direct communication to resolve questions and adjust the strategy.
Because a well-prepared dog doesn’t just compete better: it enjoys the work or sport it loves for longer.

How I work with your sport dog, step by step.
Online rehabilitation services
I provide safe, effective online therapeutic guidance for your sport dog. By video call I can evaluate, treat, and track your dog’s progress wherever you are, whether you train in another region or another country.
Initial evaluation
We will begin with a complete evaluation of your sporting dog, reviewing its medical history, observing any symptoms or physical limitations it may have.
Through the video call, we will be able to carry out an exhaustive review and obtain all the necessary details to design an individualized rehabilitation or training plan.
Advice and recomendations
Once I’ve evaluated your canine athlete, I’ll give you professional advice and specific recommendations to support their recovery. I’ll provide clear guidelines on exercises, massage, passive therapies, supplements, and any other care needed to boost their well-being, improve their performance, and, if necessary, speed up their recovery.
Guided exercise sessions
You won’t be alone in this process: I’ll be with you every step of the way. I’ll guide you and your dog through specific exercises and therapies, tailored to their case and your daily routine. And if a question ever comes up, I’ll answer it quickly by message or video call, because what matters is that you feel confident, supported, and equipped to help them recover.
Monitoring and adjusting the rehabilitation plan
Throughout the entire rehabilitation process, I will closely monitor your four-legged friend’s progress through our online communications. This will allow me to adjust the exercise and care plan whenever necessary, based on how they are responding.
You will have my support and guidance at every stage, so you’ll never have doubts about what to do or how to help them.
