Hydrotherapy for small animals to aid recovery and maintain health

MYTH: A little extra weight on my dog isn’t a big deal.

✅ Fact:
Even a small amount of excess weight puts significant extra stress on your dog’s joints, especially if they have arthritis.

Carrying too much weight can worsen pain, speed up joint damage, and reduce mobility. Keeping your dog at a healthy weight is one of the most effective, and often overlooked, ways to manage arthritis and improve their quality of life.

Just a friendly reminder to everyone about animals in this heat. Like most of us, our pets are not really used to this warm weather so it can catch us, and them unaware.

Heat stroke can be fatal if not managed appropriately. We have done a blog explaining this nasty condition, what causes it, which dogs are prone and what to do about it.

MYTH: Dogs with arthritis will always cry or limp if they’re in pain.

✅ Fact:
Many dogs with arthritis don’t cry out or limp, and that can be misleading.
Instead, they often show much subtler signs of pain, like hesitating to go for walks, struggling to get up after resting, avoiding stairs, or simply seeming "not themselves."

You might notice they’re less playful, more withdrawn, or sleeping more than usual. These changes are easy to dismiss as “just getting older,” but they’re often quiet signals that your dog is in pain and needs help.

Recognising these signs early is key to improving their comfort and quality of life.

You may not have noticed, however it's a bit hot out there and its going to get hotter!

So please, please don't walk your dog(s) unless it is early morning or in the evening. NO dog will die from missing a walk. A dog MAY die from being walked in this extreme heat.

Also, try to cool your dog(s) off during the hottest parts of the day by either keeping them indoors with the doors, windows and curtains closed, or providing shaded areas in the garden, or paddling pools to lie in, or using cooling coats. Provide them with loads of fresh cold drinking water.

Not got a cooling coat? Well we can help with that. We have a supply of cooling Ruff & Tumble Dog Drying Coats for sale at the centre. They are competitively price to make them more affordable.

Keep your dog(s) happy, safe and cool so you can all enjoy the weather.

Take Care

I want as many dogs as possible to be able to enjoy the best natural dog treats going - and that is why I sell JR Pet Product treats.

Why? Because I think they are the best, the ones I used to happily and confidently gave to Nancy during her lifetime, because JR Pet Products have the highest quality standards at the forefront of their treats.

So as an example I have compared some natural treat ingredients to JR's - but I won't say who the competitors are as that wouldn't be right.

1. Chicken Pate - ingredients - chicken 95%, chickpea flour 5%.
Luxury Pate for dugs Chicken - ingredients - 94% chicken, 4% rice flour, 2% vitamins and minerals.
JR Pet Products - Pure Chicken Pate - ingredients - 100% chicken.

2. Gourmet Salmon Cookies - ingredients - salmon 70%, sweet potato, potato flour, vegetable, glycerol , minerals.
Simply Meaty Salmon Coins - ingredients - 97% Salmon, tapioca.
JR Pet Products - Pure Salmon Coins - ingredients - 100% salmon.

So why does this matter to me? If your dog has a food alergy, or you are trying to find out which ingredients are upsetting your dog's stomach, JR's 100% single protein treats mean that if you want to give your dog a chicken/beef/duck/venison etc treat you know that you are only giving them chicken/beef/duck/venison etc, making it so easy to avoid foods that upset them.

The other products are still natural but may not be single protein which could be the difference between a happy tummy or an upset tummy for your fur baby.

Good Evening Everyone.
I was wondering if you were aware of one of the benefits of hydrotherapy that often gets overlooked?

Improved mental health! Yes dogs and probably cats get depressed - which is very sad. Either through age or injury at some point in our pet's lives they may not be able to enjoy the things they love the most - be that a lovely long walk, playing with other pets or owners or even self care. Just like us, they find this very depressing and can start to lose interest in doing anything at all.

Hydrotherapy can and does have very fast results in lifting depression in pets. It helps them to be able to do the things they used to love doing again, maybe not quite so energetically, bur doing it all the same. Owners will often tell us that for the first time in weeks/months/years their pet has the spark back in their eyes, that they are showing interest in play, interacting with other pets in the home, asking to go for walks. They just seem much happier.

It always makes me so happy to hear this, to think that I have helped improve a pet's life by doing something both them and I enjoy.

Can we help your pet? Call us now to find out how.
