TheraPets was born out of Suzie Fine's observation that many animals she groomed were suffering from various skin and coat issues such as dryness, wounds, hair loss, itchiness, and infections. Suzie embarked on a journey to find treatments and products that would restore the skin and coat's natural barrier function, allowing them to effectively protect the animal from external elements like water, dirt, impurities, and bacteria.
Through her research, Suzie identified two main areas to focus on.
1. Treatments for acute and chronic conditions such as alopecia, wounds, and dry skin.
2. .Specific skin and coat care routines for dogs, cats and horses with different hair types and coats. By using the right products designed for each specific need, Suzie ensured that the skin and coat received the necessary nutrients for optimal health.
Suzie's dedication to learning and expertise led her to obtain four certifications focusing on the skin science (dermatoloty), coat types, skin conditions, and treatment methods. She also became a certified aesthetician through the Therapeutic Pet Groomers Association. Suzie carefully selected products, from Italy, that are dermatologically and vet certified as well as natural and eco friendly, to treat her (hairy) clients.
Suzie resided in Australia for 15 years, where she recieved her experience and training. After treating numerous animals with remarkable results, Suzie has now returned to South Africa, where she continues her work in Plettenberg Bay and Cape Town. Each animal receives personalised care as Suzie meets with both pet and owner to assess the skin and coat's condition, history, and specific needs before creating a customised treatment plan.
