Hydrotherapy is the therapeutic use of warm water to exercise.

 

Our Canine Hydrotherapy is directed at the treatment of chronic conditions, post-operative recovery, and pre-operative and general fitness in dogs.

At Aquapaws your pet can exercise and receive treatment in the safety of our large purpose built temperature controlled pool, a trained and qualified hydrotherapist is in the pool with your dog at all times.

  • In July 2018, our 5 year old Dalmatian, Daisy, collapsed with a ruptured disc in her spine that rendered her paralysed from the waist down. She had surgery and our vets told us she would need regular Physio and Hydrotherapy sessions - something I had no idea even existed for animals!

    After asking for recommendations on a local community page, every single reply was to recommend Aquavets so we contacted them and we were given expert and friendly support and advice immediately, something we were so so grateful for.

    Since then, Daisy has been attending her sessions weekly and she has progressed so much. We are always given support, advice and recommendations of what to do and what kind of things would help her at home and her everyday life, things such as a wheelchair for her (which she absolutely loves!) and even little things like socks and creams and doggy pants to help with sores she gets with dragging herself around.

    Aquavet are by our sides with everything that involves with caring for our dog, they are marvellous. If your pet does ever need to have these kind of services, then I can’t recommend them enough!
