Hydrotherapy for Large Breeds – gentle exercise, big benefits! 💧🐾

Did you know that regular hydrotherapy is a fantastic, low-impact way to keep your large breed dog healthy and mobile?

Due to their larger body structure, heavy bones, and increased muscle mass, these gentle giants often experience extra wear and tear on their joints. This can lead to issues like reduced range of motion, inflammation, discomfort – and common conditions such as elbow and hip dysplasia or Osteochondritis Dissecans (a joint cartilage disorder causing pain and stiffness)

That’s why it’s so important to be mindful of exercise routines, especially during those crucial puppy growth stages.

Hydrotherapy offers the perfect solution – helping to gently build muscle, support joint health, and keep your dog strong, active, and happy… all without adding extra strain to their bodies.

Just look at Rollo, our magnificent Alaskan Malamute, and Red, our solid Dogue de Bordeaux, loving their swim sessions! 🐶💦

Meet Chewy – our joyful ray of sunshine! ☀️🐾

Chewy is one of those special patients who brings a smile to everyone’s face – and we can safely say the feeling is mutual!

He’s been attending regular hydrotherapy sessions to manage his osteoarthritis and mild hip dysplasia in both hips, and he takes it all in stride with his usual charm and love for fuss and attention.

Chewy is also on a strict weight management plan, and it’s really paying off – he’s moving more comfortably, building strength in his hind limbs, and staying active and happy.

We absolutely adore this gorgeous boy – and we think you will too!

Meet our adorable little Ellie!🐶

This sweet girl recently underwent surgery for a grade 4 luxating patella — a condition where the kneecap doesn’t stay in place. Frequent dislocations were causing Ellie significant pain, discomfort, and made it difficult for her to enjoy any kind of exercise.

Since her surgery, Ellie has been recovering beautifully. She’s shown so much courage during her hydrotherapy sessions — even though she’s not the biggest fan of water and has a naturally timid personality. Thankfully, her love of meaty treats and affection has helped her push through her fears!

Now, she arrives for her sessions with a wagging tail and a gorgeous smile, ready to work on rebuilding those little muscles!💦

Unfortunately, Ellie’s other knee has also been diagnosed with grade 2 luxating patella. The good news is that regular hydrotherapy can help strengthen the surrounding ligaments to support the kneecap, reducing the risk of dislocation. This also helps slow down any arthritic changes and minimises wear and tear over time.

Follow us for updates on Ellie’s progress — we’re so proud of how far she’s come!🐾

Bailey’s Ongoing Journey 🐾

Bailey has just turned 11 and has been coming to hydrotherapy since 2022, making him one of our longest-attending clients.

He loves staying active—whether running on the beach or exploring the forest, always on the lookout for “freebies” from the sea.

Thanks to his dedicated owners, a structured routine, and regular hydrotherapy, Bailey is moving better than ever. Age is just a number!

We’re grateful to support Bailey on his amazing journey and look forward to keeping him comfortable for many years to come.

Keep Your Young Dogs Moving – Fern’s Story 🐾

Fern is a bright, adventurous young dog who loves exploring the outdoors, chasing squirrels, and going on long walks with her owner. Like many young dogs, she’s full of energy and curiosity.

But behind that playful spirit, Fern faces ongoing challenges with her hips. These issues sometimes lead to soft tissue injuries and extra strain on her knees. Despite her owner’s best efforts to keep her exercise routine balanced, Fern’s determined personality means she often pushes herself a little too far.

To help her stay mobile and comfortable, Fern now attends regular physiotherapy and hydrotherapy sessions. These treatments support her strength, flexibility, and joint health, giving her the best chance to continue living an active, happy life.

Looking after your dog’s joints from a young age is one of the best ways to support their long-term wellbeing. Structured exercise, weight management, joint supplements, and plenty of rest all play a vital role 🐶.

If you’d like to learn more about how hydrotherapy can help young dogs like Fern, feel free to get in touch.

World Pet Memorial Day 🐾

Today we honour the memory of our beloved animal companions.

We’d like to take a moment to remember Little Mae, a truly special soul who brought endless love and comfort to her mum. Despite life’s challenges, Mae faced every day with resilience and grace.

Her gentle nature and unwavering spirit will be deeply missed and never forgotten.

Rest peacefully, Mae. 🐾

Belle, Our Star Of The Month for May! ⭐️🐶

Meet Belle, our adorable sausage dog who’s on the road to recovery at Builth Rehabilitation Centre following a diagnosis of Intervertebral Disc Disease—a condition caused by spinal cord compression.

After her initial diagnosis, Belle was almost completely paralyzed in her hind limbs and unable to move or stand. Incontinence is also common with this condition. But her spirit has never wavered!

Thanks to rest, pain relief, physiotherapy, and hydrotherapy, Belle is now standing unaided, tackling small obstacles, and dashing around like a little rocket.

We’re so proud of her progress and thrilled to support her recovery journey.

Meet Bear – our very handsome patient of the week!

Bear is currently with us for rehabilitation following surgery for a ruptured cruciate ligament. He’s doing brilliantly so far – taking it all in his stride (and winning everyone over with those good looks!).

Our team is working closely with Bear to support his recovery with tailored rehab sessions focused on rebuilding strength, mobility, and confidence.

We’ll be sharing updates on his progress, so stay tuned to follow his journey back to full health!

Meet Barney, Our Star of the Month for April!🌟🐾

Barney, our playful and determined pup, has come such a long way on his weight loss and rehabilitation journey—and we couldn’t be prouder!

Back in May 2023, Barney joined us at less than a year old, already struggling with excessive weight, elbow dysplasia, and panosteitis (intermittent inflammation of the growth plates). Despite his diagnosis, Barney was always full of bounce, energy, and absolutely no self-control!

Through regular hydrotherapy, a strict diet, and carefully controlled exercise, Barney has made incredible progress. Today, he's living his best life—pain-free and still full of that same cheeky charm.

Since starting his journey, Barney has shed an impressive 5.5 kg. His waistline has gone from 64 cm to 53 cm, and he’s lost 8 cm around his chest! Not only is he feeling better physically, but he’s also loving all the extra attention and fuss he gets at every visit.

Well done, Barney—you’re a superstar!

Meet Ralph – A Familiar Face at Builth Vets!

Ralph came in for a physiotherapy check-up, where we picked up on some muscular tension. He then enjoyed some laser therapy and massage to help ease things out – not a bad way to spend the day!

He’s looked after by Meg, one of our receptionists, who’s keeping him in great shape with regular visits.

Proprioception and Hydrotherapy – Do They Work?

Did you know that proprioception allows us to perceive the movement, position, and actions of our bodies. Proprioception is essential for body awareness, balance, posture, and motor control. Sounds pretty important, right?

When dogs experience reduced proprioception, they may struggle with basic movements such as walking, placing their paws correctly, or may even drag their feet. Balancing can also become difficult for them.

Over the years, canine hydrotherapy has been recognized as an incredibly effective tool for improving a dog's proprioception. It's not just the properties of water—such as hydrostatic pressure and surface tension—that are beneficial. A variety of amazing techniques and equipment can be used to stimulate a dog’s motor and sensory systems. These techniques enhance proprioceptive feedback, speeding up and improving the rehabilitation process. Different textures, hands-on stimulation, varied pressure, and gentle balance exercises all help dogs become more aware of their body and its functions.

Canine hydrotherapy truly is an amazing rehabilitation tool! 🌊🐾

Meet Ada – One of Our Sweetest Regulars! 🐶

Ada visits us regularly for physiotherapy and hydrotherapy to help manage bilateral luxating patella – a condition where her kneecaps can slip out of place on both sides.

Thanks to her sessions, she’s building strength, improving mobility, and staying as active and comfortable as possible. She takes everything in her stride and always brings a gentle charm to the clinic.

As you can see, Ada enjoys her peaceful laser treatment, and of course, the post-session treats and fuss are always a bonus – which we’re more than happy to provide!
