Hydrotherapy is a weightless exercise, meaning all dogs can do it no matter their age or condition! Hydrotherapy therefore improves muscle tone and encouraging tissue repair, without resulting in undue stress on damaged tissues.
Here at Village Vet Meadowbank Hydrotherapy we provide gold standard treatment in accordance with your vets diagnosis and referral by following the ABC standards of hydrotherapy as regulated by CHA (Canine Hydrotherapy Association). This includes all dogs being given a thorough one hour long initial assessment. This includes a discussion with you regarding your dog’s general well-being and habits combined with a consolidation of your dogs medical history attained from the vet. A full head to toe health check, gait analysis, muscle mass measurements, fitting your dog into a suitable lifejacket or harness and introducing your dog to the hydrotherapy pool in a calm, relaxed manner all enable us to create a treatment plan specific to your dogs requirements.
If you would be interested in bringing your dog to our pool or just for more information, then don’t hesitate to give us a call on either 07793240847 or 01352 840880.
