About Us
At The Canine Wellness Centre, we are passionate about enhancing the health and happiness of dogs across Surrey. In a serene Oak Barn in Shalford, our centre was founded with one clear vision: to provide a dedicated space where dogs could receive specialised, high-quality care to support their physical wellness and mobility.
Born from a deep love for animals and a desire to make a positive impact, we created a facility that combines professional expertise with a calm and comforting environment. Our goal has always been to offer dogs – and their owners – a trusted space where they feel supported, understood, and cared for at every step of their wellness journey.
Our centre is equipped with a state-of-the-art water treadmill room designed for safe and effective hydrotherapy sessions, and a fully equipped physiotherapy suite where bespoke treatment plans are delivered by qualified professionals. From our welcoming entrance and comfortable waiting area to the peaceful surroundings of our Shalford location, every element has been thoughtfully designed to make visits as stress-free and enjoyable as possible – for both dogs and their humans.
At The Canine Wellness Centre, we’re proud to combine compassionate care with clinical excellence, helping dogs live more mobile, comfortable, and fulfilling lives.
OUR TEAM
Lucy Sugden
Veterinary Physiotherapist IMSc, RAMP & Level 3 Canine Hydrotherapist
Hi, I’m Lucy, a fully qualified veterinary physiotherapist with a Master’s degree from Writtle University College, which I completed in 2020. In the same year, I also gained my Level 3 qualification in Canine Hydrotherapy. I’m proud to be RAMP registered, ensuring that I adhere to the highest standards of professional care. I have a particular passion for working with orthopaedic cases and helping fitness dogs stay at the top of their game. Whether it's supporting recovery from injury or enhancing performance, I’m dedicated to providing tailored, compassionate therapy for every patient. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me out exploring with my Staffordshire Bull Terrier, Baker, or unwinding with pilates and yoga.
