We are a friendly, trained and experienced centre. Katie, who is our current hydrotherapist, has just graduated university with a Bsc honours degree in animal biology and is a qualified hydrotherapist with an ABC nationally accredited diploma in small animal hydrotherapy level 3 certificate. She has undergone an intensive 9 day course to learn all she can about hydrotherapy so we can offer the best treatment for your dog.
The pool is situated at The Covert Canine Centre and has just undergone refurbishments, so we can provide a clean and comfortable environment for you and your dog to be in.
What is Hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy is controlled swimming for dogs with zero impact. The water is warm, which increase blood flow, promotes relaxation and reduces any swelling or pain your dog may have. We take on dogs who may need rehabilitation whether its for pre/post operation or as part of a conservative management program. Dogs with arthritis, orthopaedic conditions, CDRM, muscle injuries, ligament injuries and many other injuries can all benefit from treatment. We also use swimming as a form of exercise for dogs including sporting dogs, overweight or obese dogs and older dogs who can't get out as much any more. Or just for your everyday fit and healthy pooch who may enjoy a dip as a bit of a change from his everyday walk in the park. Hydrotherapy benefits: -Mental stimulation is increased -Reduced pain, swelling and stiffness -Improved gait pattern and joint mobilisation -Muscle increase and strengthening - Circulatory benefits -Improve cardiovascular fitness.
