Booking Your Appointment
-
Veterinary Referral – All hydrotherapy and laser therapy sessions require a signed vet referral form before treatment can begin. This ensures your pet’s safety and suitability.
-
Easy Booking – You can book by phone, email, or online. If your vet already has our form, they can send it directly to us.
-
Payment – Sessions must be paid for at least 24 hours before your appointment. We accept cash, debit, or credit card. Many pet insurance providers cover hydrotherapy, so please check your policy.
Before All Water Based Sessions
-
Do not feed your dog within two hours of their session to reduce the risk of nausea or discomfort during water-based exercise.
-
Fresh water is fine at any time before the appointment.
-
Avoid long walks or vigorous play before the session.
-
Please ensure your dog has toileted before arrival.
-
In cooler weather, bring a towelling coat or fleece for your dog to wear after their session.
Feeding & Aftercare at Home
-
Wait at least 2 hours before feeding again, as hydrotherapy is physically demanding. Fresh drinking water is fine at any time.
-
Hydrotherapy can be tiring. It’s normal for your dog to feel sleepy or thirsty afterwards.
-
Allow them to rest in a warm, comfortable spot.
-
Avoid long walks or strenuous play for 24 hours post-treatment.
-
Gentle short walks for toileting are fine.
-
Monitor your pet for any changes and let us know if you have concerns.

Fun & Fitness Swims
Hydrotherapy offers dogs a unique way to have fun, stay active, and enjoy exercise in a safe, low-impact environment. The buoyancy of the water supports their body weight, allowing them to move freely without putting excess strain on their joints or muscles.
Whether they’re swimming in the pool or walking on the underwater treadmill, each session is designed to be as enjoyable as it is beneficial. Our hydrotherapy sessions combine play, exercise, and mental stimulation to create an engaging experience your dog will look forward to every time.
