Swimming - "Hydrotherapy in an indoor heated pool..."

Knowledgeable and experienced staff will work with you and your dog to maximise the benefits of this highly effective therapy.

Hydrotherapists are trained under NARCH guidelines to ensure good practice for safety and care.

Individual programmes combining swimming with electro-magnetic pulse therapy and massage can be designed, to improve many painful orthopaedic conditions.

The Benefits of Swimming

•   Non weight-bearing exercise
•   Mobilising stiff arthritic joints

Safety:
Buoyancy aids are used to maximise safety, and improve confidence. They also allow for assistance to be given to dogs with physical disabilities. Full control of the  dog is maintained without  restricting  natural movement. Industrial quality non-slip, studded rubber flooring surrounds the pool and covers the steps leading into the water. Dogs are supported in the water by one or two qualified hydrotherapists

Water quality:
Water is tested daily for sanitation, pH, etc and we maintain its clarity to a high standard.

Drying:
Optional use of our high-powered, heated "blaster" with flexible hose or cage diffuser. This can also be used for de-tangling and dust removal before swimming.
