Shower & Drying Room

All dogs are showered prior to entering the pool. This ensures that the quality of our water remains high as well as warming your dog up before any exercise or treatment. Our shower facilities are floor level allowing easy access for all dogs regardless of mobility.

The pool water contains low levels of chlorine in it as antibacterial protection, despite these low levels we also shower the dogs after each session to remove the pool water. All sessions include a shampoo and fragrance spray following their session to leave them smelling fresh. If your dog has medicated shampoo you are more than welcome to bring it along to their session. 

Dogs are dried with "Aquamats" which absorb water from their coats and towel dry. We then use a blaster dryer, this has variable speeds to suit all dogs. It is important that the dog is not left wet as the cold and damp can cause further stiffness, especially during the colder months. During the colder months is is a good idea to bring a towelling coat to prevent them from getting cold.

Our clients say it best
  • After losing my 9 year old old English sheepdog this week to cancer I felt appropriate that I thank the wonderful staff at Aquavet for their care and expertise.

    I decided to take Missie to Aquavet after a referral from her vets after trying to maintain the pain in her arthritis. This is a condition that missie has endured even through her young years due to unnecessary docking.

    We had a session every fortnight for 3 years. The improvement was steady but certainly noticed ! Missie was not a confident dog in water but soon got to know and like the staff and dare I say even got to like her visits !

    The staff made our trips good fun , informative and run perfectly ! I would 100% recommend the treatment and Aquavet.

    Thank you Aquavet. Will miss our sessions.

  • I would just love to say that we was a bit worried when we got told our 8 week old puppy had got hip dysplasia. We was heart broken. We are trying our best to work round our moo moo. We was told at the vet that there was somewhere that our moo moo could build up her muscles and that place was AQUAVET this place is amazing I would definitely recommend the staff there, they are absolutely brill and so polite. I have bipolar and sometimes I dont like change and I can panic, but when I walked through that door it was the best thing I did.

    Our moo moo knows her workers now and she has had her second visit. She has been made to feel so comfortable at Aquavet . And we really love going our moo moo is my mental health dog and we are getting each other through the difficult challenges ahead. I just wanna say a big thankyou to the staff at Aquavet. Your doing a brilliant job and molly moo and me will see u soon god bless. –Sally Wright
