The first Hydrotherapy session will be 45 minutes as we include an orientation of the building, our facilities and important health and safety information. Our hydrotherapists will devise a specific training programme, following the referral from your vet and introduce your dog to the water; either in the pool or the water treadmill.
We ask that your dog is brushed prior to its appointment to get rid of as much excess hair as possible. We will give your dog a thorough health check and shower prior to entry into either the pool or the water treadmill. Dogs are fitted with life jackets and are swum by the qualified canine hydrotherapists.
We recommend that you accompany your dog during sessions as you can provide encouragement and make the most of the time your dog has in the water whilst also observing the benefits of hydrotherapy.
After your appointment, your dog will be showered and then dried by the hydrotherapist and we recommend that you try to ensure your dog is kept as warm as possible when leaving the Animal Therapy Centre in order to maintain the benefit of the warm water therapy.
You will need to pay at the time of each treatment (usually before you go in for your appointment). We accept all major credit and debit cards, cheques and cash.
