Care Over Cost: What your dog wishes you knew

Get the inside scoop on what your dog really needs — expert talks on health, nutrition & signs every owner should know.
About this Event

Join us for an informative and eye-opening afternoon focused on helping dog owners recognise the early signs of pain, arthritis, and mobility issues in dogs — before they become serious problems.

Hosted at the Alton Assembly Rooms, this event features guest speakers from The Animal Therapy Co alongside experienced professionals sharing practical, essential knowledge every dog owner should have.

Dogs can’t tell us when they’re hurting — so subtle changes in behaviour, movement, sleep, posture or mood are often overlooked or mistaken for “just getting older.”

Who it’s for:

🐾 Dog owners
🐾 Rescue volunteers
🐾 Groomers & walkers
🐾 Pet carers
🐾 Veterinary professionals
🐾 Anyone who loves dogs

What we’ll cover:

• Early signs of pain in dogs
• Arthritis and mobility awareness
• Modern therapies and treatment options
• Prevention and long-term care
• How early intervention can reduce suffering and vet costs

On the day:

You’ll also be able to enjoy a selection of stalls and refreshments, giving you the chance to browse, ask questions, and support local dog-focused businesses and causes.

Each attendee will receive a certificate of attendance, and all ticket sales support animals in need through Care Over Cost.
