Hannah CaponHannah Capon​

A Vet MB MRCVS, CAM and CASS Founder and Director

Hannah has been a qualified first opinion small animal vet for 17 years. She is the founder of CAM which started off as a small one on one vet with owner external service in 2013. She had noted that there was a disproportion of dogs being euthanased for poorly managed arthritis and felt that this chronic disease needed to be managed differently. After a succession of euthanasias of dogs that had gone off their back legs, she felt compelled to initiate CAM online and help owners through an online platform as she had noted there was a lack of consistent reliable no commitment to buy resources for owners of dogs with arthritis to turn to. Hannah continues to work as a vet, is the director of Canine Arthritis management, is working towards her Certified Canine Rehabilitation Practitioner certificate as well as offering her one on one service CASS in the Scottish Borders.

Her other full-time job is looking after Luna the beautiful Border Collie, who is currently learning how to ride paddle boards with her mum!

HollyHolly

Poohface

Holly was Hannah's best friend and shadow and the inspiration behind Canine Arthritis Management. She rose to fame with her starring role in CAMs social media film “In Silence” and featured in further social media films “Holly’s story" and “Not just getting old, but getting old great!”. In 2017, Holly and Hannah took on THE BIG WALK, walking 100k across the South Downs raising awareness of arthritis and chronic pain in dogs.

Sadly, Holly passed away at the end of 2018, but continues to be our inspiration, our poster girl and the reason we keep pushing on with our aim of improving the lives of dogs with arthritis all over the globe.
