Based in Port Kembla, near Wollongong, Water Walkies boasts the region’s first designated dog hydrotherapy pool in a purpose-built facility where we offer treatments for injury rehabilitation, pain management, and weight loss. Our certified canine hydrotherapists can develop a customised treatment plan that is appropriate for your dog’s specific condition and stage of recovery. We also welcome cli

ents to attend for fun and general fitness. Swimming is great for general strength, cardiovascular conditioning and weight management.

​As members of a multi-modality team, we will liaise closely with clients Vets and other specialists. Veterinary Consent is required for all hydrotherapy treatments, even for a fun swim. This ensures your hydrotherapist has a complete picture of your companion’s condition, behaviour, clinical history and any contraindications for hydrotherapy. The centre also features an underwater treadmill with 360-degree cameras for assessing gait and prescribing individualised therapy programs. Moreover, we have DIY dog wash facilities where you can give your four-legged best friend a good wash after a hydrotherapy session.

→ What is Hydrotherapy? Hydrotherapy is used to relieve pain and promote physical well-being, it is a controlled exercise using the therapeutic properties of water which is maintained at the optimum temperature of 28-30⁰c. The thermal effect promotes the circulation of blood flow which relaxes tight muscles and eases pain and inflammation. Hydrotherapy can be used for rehabilitation for both pre and post-surgery, weight management, fitness, conditioning, water confidence or just outright fun! Exercising in water helps dogs regain strength, reduces swelling and stiffness, improves range of motion, and strengthens and improves muscle tone. A five minute swim is equal to a 5 km run on land due to the resistance of the water. The heated water and the buoyancy can help achieve exercises in water that would not be possible on land

Some moments remind you why dogs make life so much bigger. 🐾💙

A post-swim nap, a trusted lap, a quiet breath — this is the kind of peace that happens when their body feels good, their mind is calm, and their energy has been well spent.

Hydro doesn’t just build strength.
It helps create these soft, grounding moments — where your dog finally relaxes deeply because their joints, muscles, and mind all feel better.

🐾✨ “Can’t thank the team enough!”

Recovery isn’t always easy—especially for dogs facing major injuries. But with patience, care, and the right support, even the most nervous dogs can learn to love the process.

Here’s what Tilly’s family had to say:

“The team at Water Walkies are the best! They’ve helped my dog Tilly recover from 2 ACL ruptures in the past few years. She’s a nervous dog, so at first she didn’t like going, but now she absolutely loves getting in there as all the staff spoil her shamelessly 🤩 Can’t thank the team enough for helping Tilly get strong again and overcome her injuries 🙌”

Tilly’s journey is proof that hydrotherapy helps dogs not only regain strength but also rebuild confidence—turning rehab into something they look forward to.

“Atrocities beyond your human comprehension.” 😳🐾

If your puppy has THAT kind of energy… you’re not alone.
Hydro is one of the safest, fastest ways to burn mental and physical energy — leaving you with a calmer, happier dog (and a much less chaotic house).

Too busy to bring them in?
✨ We now offer a pick-up & drop-off service — so even your little troublemaker can get their workout in.

💙 In loving memory of Tyson.

Some dogs leave the biggest pawprints on our hearts — and Tyson was one of them.

We were so privileged to be part of his journey and to see how much love and care surrounded him every step of the way. His gentle nature, big heart, and endless kisses brought smiles to our whole team.

“Thank you so much to the beautiful Water Walkies team for everything you did for my beautiful boy Tyson… You helped him so much in his old age, especially when he hurt his neck and back. Hydrotherapy and laser made a huge difference, and he was always so happy to come in. He loved every one of you.” – Chloe F

Hydrotherapy and laser can make a real difference for senior dogs — easing pain, improving comfort, and helping them feel like themselves again. Tyson’s story will always remind us why compassionate care matters so deeply.

💧 We’ll never forget you, Tyson.
