As some of you may remember little Mochi here was looking for a new home through WoodGreen.

Well I am pleased to say that little Mochi is off to his new home this week!

Mochi has made HUGE progress not just from his hydrotherapy sessions but the amazing work his foster parents have put in.

Well done Mochi Boy and come visit soon 🐾

Not all dog pools are doing the same job 🏊

“Can’t I just take my dog swimming?”

Sometimes yes.

But there’s a difference between a fun pool and a hydrotherapy pool.

A fun dog pool is fantastic for:

🐾 Cooling off
🐾 Confidence building
🐾 Enrichment
🐾 Playtime

A hydrotherapy pool is designed for something very different:

💧 Controlled resistance
💧 Monitored movement patterns
💧 Rehabilitation goals
💧 Muscle strengthening
💧 Supporting painful joints
💧 Recovery after injury or surgery

Hydrotherapy isn’t simply “swimming.”

We’re looking at HOW your dog moves, WHAT muscles they’re using and WHY they need support.

Both can absolutely have a place.

One is play.

One is treatment.

I LOVE the ball… but my body doesn’t always love what comes with it 🎾

Dogs absolutely adore chasing balls, and seeing them excited makes us happy too. But repetitive ball throwing can place a surprising amount of stress on the body.

Think about what happens during a typical game:

➡️ Sprint
➡️ Sudden stop
➡️ Sharp turn
➡️ Twist through the spine
➡️ Launch back again

Then repeat…20, 30, 40+ times.

That repetitive stop start movement creates huge forces through shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips and the spine. Over time, especially in dogs already predisposed to joint issues or arthritis, this can contribute to wear and strain.

Does this mean “never throw a ball again?” Absolutely not.

Instead, think about balance:

✓ Fewer repetitive throws
✓ Longer distance retrieves rather than rapid fire launches
✓ Scent games
✓ hydrotherapy sessions
✓ Controlled movement and varied terrain
✓ Sniff walks

Sometimes exercise isn’t about making our dogs exhausted. Sometimes it’s about making them stronger.

Your dog’s body will thank you later.

Have you got a ball-obsessed dog?

Hydrotherapy isn’t always about swimming! 🐾

When people think of canine hydrotherapy, they often picture dogs paddling laps in the pool. While swimming can be fantastic for many dogs, for our elderly patients and those living with arthritis, sometimes the greatest benefits come from simply floating.

Supported floating in warm water allows dogs to experience the therapeutic effects of buoyancy without the effort of swimming. The water helps reduce the load on painful joints, eases muscle tension, improves circulation, and encourages gentle movement in a safe, comfortable environment.

For some dogs, especially seniors a relaxed float can help them feel more comfortable, move more freely, and enjoy being active without pain or fatigue.

Every dog is different, which is why we tailor our hydrotherapy sessions to their individual needs. Sometimes the most beneficial session isn’t about how far they swim it’s about giving their body the support it needs to feel its best.

🐾 Have you ever seen your dog completely relax in the water? We’d love to hear about it below!

🐾 Meet Mochi 🐾

This gorgeous little Jack Russell Terrier is looking for his forever home through Wood Green.

Mochi has been coming to see me for the past couple of weeks following FHME surgery, and I am so pleased to say that he has been doing incredibly well. He has recovered brilliantly and has really flourished in foster care.

From what his foster carers have shared, Mochi is a very sweet, loving little dog with all the energy and personality you would expect from a Jack Russell Terrier! He enjoys company, loves affection, and has been getting on well with his foster family.

Mochi has had some interactions with other dogs while in foster care, but any potential home with another dog would need to be discussed with Wood Green to ensure the best match.

Sadly, very little is known about Mochi’s life before coming into care. He was found as a stray and brought into WoodGreen by the dog warden, so his past remains a mystery. What we do know is that since being with his foster carers, he has come on in leaps and bounds and shown everyone what a wonderful little dog he is.

Mochi would make an amazing companion for someone willing to give him the love, time and understanding he deserves.

If you think you could offer Mochi the forever home he’s been waiting for, please contact Wood Green and take a look at his profile here:

Please share to help Mochi find his perfect family 🐾
