Dr. Hannah Capon

MA Vet MB MRCVS

Founder and Director of Canine Arthritis Management

ABOUT Hannah

Hannah qualified from Cambridge University in 2002 and has worked in a large variety of practices and roles from sole charge first opinion to teamwork emergency practice. She won the 2020 Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons Impact Award, the 2019 CEVA Vet of the Year and finalist in the 2019 Petplan Vet of the Year. Hannah has an incredible passion for chronic pain management, geriatrics and musculoskeletal health and rehabilitation and has been recognised for her tireless work on Canine Arthritis Management (CAM) an online education and support service for owners of arthritic dogs and professionals.

Hannah SAYS...

I was a vet frustrated by the confines of time available with clients. I knew we could do more for the dogs in our care, I just had to figure out how. CAM started off as a mobile veterinary service focusing on dogs struggling with arthritis. With more time, and in their own home, I could achieve so much more. The results I was getting were astounding and CAM’s hashtag was born #YourDogMoreYears, because that was exactly what was happening – I was giving these dogs and their caregivers more years together.

However, I still felt we could do more. So I persuaded my clients to let me photograph, film and quote advice I was giving them and post it on a Facebook page. It went nuts and grew so quickly. I can remember hitting 5000 followers within a few months and knew an online advisory service was needed. Canine Arthritis Teleguidance is the next logical step in supporting caregivers and their arthritic dogs.

DR. JAMES HUNT

BVetMed MSc PhD CertVA DipECAWBM(AWSEL) MRCVS

Veterinary surgeon & clinical anaesthetist

ABOUT JAMES

James Hunt is one of the UK’s leading vets in the management of painful conditions in dogs and cats. For over 25 years working as a vet, pain management has been his primary interest, and he has undertaken additional training and recognition in anaesthesia, and acute and chronic pain management. He has published numerous peer-reviewed scientific papers on topics of pain management, and co-authored the chapter on chronic pain in the BSAVA handbook of pain management.

In 2020, he was awarded a PhD from the University of Bristol for his thesis on pain management in dogs and cats and in 2022, he established Pet Pain Relief, a clinical pain referral service in Devon and Somerset.

JAMES SAYS...

My journey into veterinary medicine was inspired by a profound desire to enhance the well-being of animals, and over the years, this journey has led me to concentrate on one of the most critical areas of veterinary care: the management of chronic pain in dogs, and I made every effort to expand my knowledge and understanding of painful diseases and treatments and contribute to new research in this area.

My lived experience of caring for my own dogs with osteoarthritis and other pain conditions has left me with a deep understanding of the lifestyle modifications that can contribute so much to successful osteoarthritis management, as well as the emotional impact of the disease on families. I am so pleased to now be able to share my expertise and experience with Canine Arthritis Teleguidance.

EVIE SAYS...

Joining The Pain Vet team is the perfect next step in my mission to spread awareness and help educate pet parents about the emotional aspects of an arthritic diagnosis in their dogs. As a trained veterinary nurse with a deep passion for geriatric care and pain management, I’ve always been saddened by the number of dogs whose pain was dismissed as just “getting old”.

In my practice, I started conducting pain clinics, and the difference it made for both the dogs and their owners was incredible. I am excited to elevate this service and bring it to you in the comfort of your home.

Testimonials

I thoroughly recommend Hannah and CAM for any dog with arthritis-related problems. Button is now 12 and has severe hip and shoulder problems, but still comes on a 30 minute walk each day and has a quality of life.

From one very grateful owner.

Very useful information about ways to improve the quality of life of (older) dogs with OA. I’ve been following this page for a while now and it has helped me so much with my 16-year-old dog. Thank you!

Laure-Anne Callewaert

Our dog had recently been diagnosed as having arthritis of the spine and the information provided by CAM has been eye opening, supportive, positive and beneficial. Would definitely recommend CAMs products and information.

Sarah Davie

It’s great having somewhere to go to find out as much about arthritis as I can. I want to make my dog as comfortable as possible for as long as possible, so really appreciate all the good advice.

Donna Medland

For the last 2 years I have taken the advice from CAM to ensure my labrador has the right environment/ exercise and support to ensure he remains as mobile as possible in his later years. The biggest learning is to really observe your dogs behaviour, posture and environment.

Lorr E Moffat

The information given to help us as owners, provides a comfortable and good quality of life to our elderly dogs is fantastic. So many things we can do to help our dogs and all explained clearly.
