our story

We wish that our best friends
could live forever

Welcome to Holistic Paws = Waggy Tails, the first small animal wellness centre of its kind. Established by Johanne Plows and Tanya Williamson to offer Pet owners a more natural approach to healing and maintaining vitality in their furry and feathery friends.

Tanya and Johanne grew up together and as twins share the same compassion and love for animals. With the same vision and passion their dream of caring and nuturing animals using a gentle and holistic approach has come to fruition with Holisitic Paws = Waggy Tails. Both have spent many years of training in their specialised fields and travelled to the U.K. to become Hydrotherapy Practitioners. By combining their knowledge of anatomy and physiology with the wisdom of various complementary modalities they strive to help your pet live a longer and happier life. Time is the most precious gift we have with our pets and here at Holistic Paws = Waggy Tails we hope to make that gift endure for as long as possible.
