On your dog's first appointment please bring with you:
a) Completed Owner Consent & Vet Check form
b) Your pet’s vaccination certificate
Please ensure that you do not exercise or feed your pet for at least two hours before swimming.

All sessions are on a one-to-one with our hydrotherapist. Please note we only swim dogs for fitness and FUN not for rehabilitation of conditions. Due to the size of our pool we are unable to swim large breeds, maximum dog size is large golden retriever, gsd, collie etc

All sessions will include the following :

    A general assessment

  • A head to tail health check

  • Fitting of buoyancy aid or harness

  • The use of facilities as deemed necessary by the hydrotherapist

  • Assisted swimming from the hydrotherapist as necessary

  • A comprehensive record of your dogs swim sessions

  • Plenty of FUN !!!

It is advisable to wait until dogs are at least six months of age before beginning hydrotherapy, due to the fast development of bones and joints in this early stage of life.
