What is the Canine Hydrotherapy service from Aquapaws

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.

HYDROTHERAPY SESSIONS WILL BE TAILORED AROUND YOUR DOG'S INDIVIDUAL REQUIREMENTS

Our clients say it best

  • bracken was only a few months old when his hip problem was diagnoised.He had stopped walking at times could not stand without help.Since having hydro at aquavet he walks runs on the beach playing ball swims in the sea. He does not need any pain relief his life is so much better. He is now a happy one year old Boarder Collie –Casterton

  • In January this year we received the devastating news that our 9month old Cavalier King Charles had severe hip dysplasia.

    A local search found that Aquavet was our nearest hydrotherapy centre and a phone call later we were booked in to start with hydrotherapy sessions. I write this testimonial several months on and we cannot thank Lisa, Nicole, Becky and all the team enough for their support, understanding and encouragement. Along with physio from Sarah we now have a stronger, fitter and healthier dog well placed to fight her condition.


    Daisy loves her trips to see Lisa and the team and it is now part of our regular routine, instead of a long walk in the fields, we have a trip to Aquavet for a swim! Thank you Lisa for all that you do, it really does make a difference x
