Small Animal Hydrotherapy

I believe that your pet requires the best treatment possible and should be in safe hands. Being a qualified veterinary nurse since 1998, I hold a certificate in small animal hydrotherapy and trained at Hawskmoor, an advanced diploma in canine behaviour I can offer your pet 5* treatment. By having a veterinary nursing background I can pick up on things and monitor your pet pet whilst swimming to ensure they are safe at all times.
My hydrotherapy certificate gives me knowledge on how best to treat your pet for a better outcome and my behaviour knowledge helps me identify stress and anxiety.
I use positive reinforcement techniques so that we can get best out of your pet and if they are unsure we can take things slowly so not to rush and frighten them.
I will be in the pool with your pet at all times
Benefits of Hydrotherapy
A ten minute swim is equivalent to a 5 mile walk but without the adding stress on the dogs joints!
Swimming in a controlled environment is great for the following :
Cardiovascular system: The warm water increase body temperature which increases circulation because as it causes the blood vessels to dilate. This in turn, delivers oxygen and nutrients to the body whilst taking ways toxins.
Muscular system: Swimming is non-weight bearing, therefore it reduces unnecessary stress on the joints and ligaments. It also helps reduce pain and spasm due to the relaxing effect the water has on the muscles. If your dog has had an operation and needs to build up muscle this is a great way to do so.
Respiratory-system: The increased respiratory rate from swimming helps detox the body by carrying excess carbon monoxide away and increasing oxygen. It is also great for increasing overall fitness levels.
Lymphatic system: Swimming in water decreases inflammation and improves the immune system as well as increased lymphatic drainage.
It also helps with the reproduction system by increasing hormones which in turn helps the body’s other systems.
Digestion is helped by smooth muscles relaxing which in turn feeds the body with nutrients. The water can also help the kidneys ridding toxins and waste products by it providing increased blood flow via the kidneys. This is also good to balance out electrolytes and water.


I rent a pool to carry out the hydrotherapy and fun swims, The pool is heated to the correct temperature and is treated/tested accordingly.
