Sarah MacKeigan

THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO... HI! Thank you for being here 🙏. After an almost 5 year journey with Degenerative Myelopathy, my heart dog 🐾❤️ Sammie crossed the rainbow bridge right before the Covid lockdown in 2020. I found myself grieving and saw so many dog parents online, struggling with their dogs, especially those with neurologic conditions like Sam's. I wanted to help and needed to put my pain somewhere it could make a difference. Bringing together my personal experience and professional canine rehab knowledge, I founded Living with Dogs with Disabilities - a Facebook community dedicated to promoting mobility and canine rehab so pet parents and professionals could learn from others everything that CAN BE DONE to help these dogs. I believe that if pain is manageable and an animal isn't in immediate risk, that there is ALWAYS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO, and doing nothing simply isn't an option. This is why I've invested so much into educating and connecting online. To facilitate interactions with experts in various fields of canine health, wellness, and rehab to dog parents wanting to do more for their pups. You're dog may or may not recover from an injury or disease, but that doesn't mean you are helpless and their life is over, In fact - "IT'S NOT OVER, IT'S JUST DIFFERENT" are powerful words to live by. Today I have my own practice in canine rehabilitation in Nova Scotia, Canada and impacted thousands of dog parents online with over 500k video views and 21k followers across social platforms My goal is for every dog parent that that gets a diagnosis for their dog, like DM, is then told of what they CAN DO and WHO CAN HELP THEM do it. 💞
