KEY BENEFITS

4 ways hydrotherapy actually helps

Helping Vets & Patients

Partnering with vets for post-surgery rehabilitation, the ‘hydrostatic pressure’ helps to relieve swelling & painful joints.

Safe & Steady

Water provides buoyancy, relieving the impact on joints & the musculoskeletal system. This allows muscle tone to be built without risking injury.

Arthritis Management

Perfect for maintaining muscle tone, relieving swelling & joint pain for arthritic & older dogs.

Efficient, Safe Weight-loss

A dog-equivalent of safe high-resistance, low impact interval training, without the jarring effects of regular exercise.

Annika has grown up with a passion and love for animals - especially dogs.

qualifications INCLUDE

  • Bachelor of Animal Science
  • Level 3 Certificate in Canine Hydrotherapy
  • Certificate in Canine Remedial Massage
  • Certificate in Canine First Aid

Success stories

We're proud our rehabilitation patients' roads to recovery with us. Here are their stories!

Cruciate Ligament Rehabilitation with Monti

After surgery, Monti would just carry the leg around in the air and get around on 3 legs and not her usual happy, cheeky self.

Monti's Story

Bi-lateral Cruciate Ligament Rupture Rehabilitation with Willow

Following surgery Willow was suffering atrophy of the hind limbs and reluctance to use the surgery leg.

Willow's Story

Intervertebral Disc Disease Rehabilitation & Maintenance with Cinnamon

Following surgery Cinnamon could not use her hind limbs and was unable to walk (paraplegia in hind limbs).
