Hi, I am Neil Barnsley. I am the products designer of Canine Vital and also the head practitioner of Animal Holistic Therapies, a thriving holistic clinic in Sydney specialising in spinal, musculoskeletal and neurological conditions utilising modalities such as Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture, Chiropractic and Infrared Laser Therapy.

I am a third-generation expert in canine alternative therapies, continuing the legacy of my father, Gary Barnsley, and my grandfather, William Burns. With a combined family knowledge spanning 100 years, my expertise is deeply rooted in decades of tradition. My father, Gary Barnsley, is a highly respected specialist in the greyhound and equine industry, practising in Greendale for over 45 years, while my grandfather, William Burns, was a pioneer in Animal Chiropractic and Acupuncture in Australia.

With over 20 years of experience, I have successfully treated and healed countless furry patients suffering from lameness, spinal problems, and paralysis using natural therapies and medicines.

​As the leader of this specialised clinic, I am very passionate about providing effective, natural treatments and supplements to enhance your pet's quality of life.

From Suffering To Solution: How I Created a Breakthrough For Canine Health

By Neil Barnsley

"I'm deeply motivated to share this personal journey with you, not just as a practitioner but as a pet parent who has walked the painful path of seeing beloved dogs suffer from back pain and spinal injuries. The relentless search for a solution for my furry clients was both emotionally draining and mentally challenging." "Watching their discomfort, the limping gait, the heartbreaking whimpers – it tore at my heart, driving me to find a remedy that would offer relief and restore their freedom to move without pain. Before discovering Canine Vital, I felt really frustrated. Traditional treatments offered by standard veterinarians only offered temporary relief at best, with the normal medications reducing pain, but only for a short time, and still not treating the cause of the pain."​ "The alternative treatments that I offer in my clinic work brilliantly for treating spinal injuries, as well as managing pain from arthritic spines. However, it is important to combine these treatments with minerals and herbs (supplements that can assist with the healing process and to help strengthen the spine to reduce the risk of injuries or arthritic 'flare-ups' from occurring in the future). There was very little options available on the market to help do this, and certainly NONE that are specific for treating canine spinal health. It felt like there was no hope". "Each time I tried a product or supplement already available and it did not assist my patients, it added to the weight of the burden I carried, knowing that time was not a luxury that my furry patients had. Their pain reminded me how urgent it was to find a real solution to help with their long term spinal health.""I decided then and there to dedicate my time and very specific skill set to designing and creating a spinal supplement that my furry patients could use to not only assist with the pain, but also to strengthen the spine to help prevent another spinal injury from happening again in the future." "That's when my journey to create Spinal Health (Repair) began. It wasn't going to be just a product to me, it was like a promise of healing and making things better and brighter for all my furry patients that were in pain." "The ingredients have been carefully selected for their strength and effectiveness: herbal ingredients that have been used for thousands of years and now backed by science, and minerals scientifically proven to strengthen the spine became the building blocks of a formula designed with precision and care." "Then over countless hours of testing, hundreds of patient's feedback and fine tuning the ingredients and dosages, Spinal Health (Repair) was perfected! A natural and safe solution that helped to repair the root cause of weakness in the spine, not just the symptoms of pain and inflammation." "As the days turned into weeks and months of using the product in my clinic, seeing the positive results occurring in my furry patients was nothing short of miraculous.  I was finding that my furry patients were healing faster, pain reducing quicker, movement and mobility improving better than before. And over a longer period of time needing less treatments. The check-ups normally kept regularly were being needed less and less as their spines were clearly getting stronger and stronger."​ "Spinal Health (Repair) brought not just relief to my furry patients, it also brought to me a feeling of confidence as well as a sense of purpose and hope. The positive changes it showed were proof to me that this product needed to be available to anyone who needed it, not just to the patients that I see personally. With the rising number of pet owners facing spinal issues with their beloved fur babies, my mission is to make sure every pet parent in this challenging situation is aware that a solution exists to truly improve their pet's quality of life."
