Case study 01 · Post-operative recovery
Restoring voluntary fluid intake in post-operative canine patients
Inappetence in the first 24 hours after soft tissue surgery remains one of the most common reasons for extended hospitalisation. Willow Vets introduced a 150ml hydration smoothie at the first post-anaesthetic feed window, offered by hand at cage side rather than in a standing bowl. The practice recorded voluntary intake within 20 minutes in 38 of 42 patients, and nursing staff reported that the pouch format allowed precise portioning against each patient’s calculated maintenance requirement without decanting or waste.
Case study 02 · Senior & renal support
Supporting increased water intake plans in senior patients at home
Owner compliance, not clinical advice, is usually the limiting factor in increased-water-intake plans. This practice issued a hydration smoothie alongside written guidance at every senior wellness consult, framing it as a daily ritual rather than a medical instruction. At the eight-week review, owners self-reported adherence of 81% against a practice baseline of 44% for water-bowl-only advice, and nursing teams found the format a useful conversation opener for discussing early renal and urinary monitoring.
Case study 03 · Practice retail
A practice retail line that supports the clinical conversation
Practice retail only works when the product reinforces advice the team already gives. Fieldhouse positioned the range at reception with a single point-of-sale card referencing their hydration and dental advice, and briefed the nursing team on a two-sentence recommendation script. Across four sites the line delivered a 34% average gross margin with repeat purchase from 61% of first-time buyers, and the group reported no increase in dispensary workload because the product sits outside the prescription pathway entirely.
“It’s the first hydration product my clients actually keep using past week two.”
