Build water confidence in all dogs of all ages. Over a series of sessions we will introduce your dog to swimming and normalise water as something safe and fun! We tap in to your dog’s individual motivations and build up their independence into making them confident swimmers whilst also working on their buoyancy.

Whether a dog has undergone surgery or suffered an injury, we provide a low-impact environment that promotes muscle strengthening and joint flexibility. The buoyancy of water reduces the impact on joints, allowing dogs to exercise without placing excessive strain on their bodies.

Obesity is a growing concern among dogs. Water resistance makes every movement more challenging, encourages the heart to work more efficiently, strengthening its muscles and enhancing blood flow. Therefore engaging muscles burning calories. This all helps your dog to maintain a healthy weight while also reducing the risk of obesity-related illnesses.

Hydrotherapy allows exercise to be conducted in a completely weightless environment. This allows aerobic ability, muscle strength and range of motion to be improved/maintained while reducing the impact on painful joints suffering from arthritis, hip, elbow dysplasia and other orthopaedic conditions.

Water has a calming effect on many canines, making hydrotherapy an effective stress-relief tool. It can improve a dog's mental well-being by reducing frustration from restricted exercise, releasing pent-up energy in a safe way, and helping them regain confidence. The physical benefits, like improved mobility and muscle strength, often lead to a more positive and less anxious temperament. 

Due to our treatments having effects on endorphin release, improvement in blood flow and alteration of pain signalling pathways, our services (especially acupuncture) is an excellent treatment choice for conditions which result in chronic pain or nerve dysfunction.

Veterinary Physiotherapy for dogs can be extremely beneficial to keeping your dog functional, comfortable, maintain fitness as well serve as a form of treatment for chronic conditions or post injury. Regular treatments can improve performance and minimise the risk of further injury. We offer an exercise prescription specifically based around your dog’s needs which can be applied in our hydrotherapy and at home.

The benefits extend beyond immediate improvements, contributing to increased longevity. Dogs that undergo regular treatments within our portfolio not only usually recover from injuries faster but also experience improved health and vitality – allowing them to lead fulfilling lives well into their senior years.
