Patricia Scholz

Patricia writes: "As a Canine Physiotherapist with additional qualifications in osteopathy and rehabilitation consulting, I specialize in paw and claw care. My own dog, Paula, inspired this focus.

During my training, I noticed that not only she but almost all my patients had issues with their paws or claws. This led to my final thesis and eventually to my courses for dog owners and professionals, which I'm excited to bring to the Grisha Stewart Academy!

In addition to physiotherapy, I also provide advice on healthy, species-appropriate nutrition, because movement and diet go hand in hand for me. My motto is: You are what you eat and how you move.

My practice, "Schmack & Fit," is located in Mosbach-Diedesheim in the south of Germany. "
