Meet with our qualified vet or CCRT expert to discuss your pet’s condition, set goals, and plan treatment.
We design a bespoke programme (underwater treadmill or heated pool) tailored to your pet’s needs, with clear frequency, duration, and milestones.
Your pet builds strength and reduces discomfort through structured hydrotherapy sessions. We track progress, make adjustments, and keep you informed.
Hydrotherapy offers a safe, drug-free way to restore mobility, reduce pain, and speed up recovery.
Our certified specialists use heated pools and underwater treadmills to rebuild strength without joint strain. Whether your pet is recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or needs gentle exercise, hydrotherapy provides tailored support for a happier, healthier life.
Absolutely! Our sessions are supervised by certified veterinary rehab specialists who tailor water temperature, pressure, and exercise intensity to your dog’s condition. Hydrotherapy is low-impact, making it ideal for pets with arthritis, obesity, or post-surgery recovery.
Hydrotherapy is highly effective for:
Arthritis/joint pain
Post-operative recovery (e.g., ACL tears, hip dysplasia)
Obesity/weight management
Muscle atrophy from aging or injury
Neurological conditions (e.g., degenerative myelopathy)
Sessions typically last 30-45 minutes, depending on your dog’s fitness level. Most pets show improvement within 4–6 weekly sessions, but we’ll create a personalized plan after their initial assessment.
No swimming skills required! We use underwater treadmills and harnesses for safety. The water level is adjusted to support your pet’s body weight, allowing them to exercise comfortably.
Packages start at $150 per session, with discounts for multi-session plans. During your free 15-minute consultation, we’ll provide a transparent cost breakdown based on your dog’s needs.
While it’s not a cure-all, hydrotherapy often reduces reliance on pain medication and can delay or avoid invasive surgeries. Many pets experience significant pain relief and improved mobility.
Avoid feeding 2 hours before the session.
Bring their medical records.
Stay calm! Our team gently acclimates pets to the water.
Most dogs feel relaxed post-session, though some may experience mild tiredness. We monitor pets closely to prevent overexertion. Contraindications (e.g., open wounds, infections) are screened during the consultation.
Yes! It’s safe for all breeds and ages. We’ve treated senior dogs (12+ years) and breeds prone to joint issues (e.g., Dachshunds, Labradors). Water buoyancy reduces stress on aging joints.
Can hydrotherapy be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely! We often pair hydrotherapy with physiotherapy, laser therapy, or acupuncture for faster recovery. Your rehab vet will design a holistic plan during your consultation.
