Canine & feline osteopathy
Does your dog or cat show signs of pain, stiffness, or unusual behavior?
Animal osteopathy is a gentle and natural way to relieve tension, improve mobility, and promote your companion’s overall well-being.
My name is Caroline Dupont Zayani, a certified animal osteopath, and I offer home consultations in the Rolle area, from Lausanne to Geneva, as well as in all the towns along La Côte: Nyon, Gland, Morges, Aubonne.
A gentle, holistic, and individualized approach
Every dog and every cat is unique.
I practice a holistic approach, where observation and attentive listening are key.
My goal: to restore balance, relieve tension, and support the body’s natural healing processes - without ever forcing or rushing the animal.
Why consult an osteopath for a dog or cat?
Canine and feline osteopathy is suitable for pets of all ages: young, adult, senior, or recovering from illness or surgery.
Through non-invasive manual techniques, it helps restore mobility and optimize the function of the body’s structures.
It is especially recommended:
-
As a preventive treatment, to support growth or aging
-
In addition to veterinary care, as part of a holistic health plan
-
Following trauma, a fall, or surgery
-
In cases of locomotor, digestive, or behavioral issues
When to see an animal osteopath?
Here are some common signs in dogs and cats that may call for an osteopathic session:
-
Difficulty jumping, climbing stairs, or standing up
-
Limping or uneven gait
-
Pain when touched or sudden aggression
-
Excessive licking of a specific area
-
Loss of appetite or energy
-
Discomfort after surgery or injury
-
Digestive issues, irregular breathing
-
Stress, anxiety, or unusual behavior
What happens during an osteopathy session for dogs and cats?
Consultations take place at home, in the animal’s usual environment, to reduce stress and ensure maximum comfort.
A session includes:
-
Case history: discussion with the owner about lifestyle, medical history, and observed issues
-
Overall observation of the animal (both still and in motion)
-
Palpation and mobility testing
-
Manual osteopathic treatment, tailored to the animal’s needs
-
Personalized advice for the following days (rest, food, exercises)
-
Average duration: 30 to 45 minutes
-
The animal remains an active participant — no force or restraint is used.
