Meet Ayda

Ayda is the most loving and chilled out dog I see at hydro! She enjoys her spa sessions and massages whilst benefitting from some weight free exercise. 🧖🏻‍♀️💆🏻‍♀️

She has been an absolute superstar and even with no eyes is super relaxed in the treadmill and even gets excited when arriving in the car park! 🥰

Meet little miss loopy Luna! 🤪💗

She is certainly a very happy wee pooch- that waggy tail gives it away! Luna has benefitted by coming to hydro for around the past year and throughout her sessions we have focussed on improving her gait and reducing muscle tightness. She also regularly sees Eilidh at Solas Canine Massage. The effect that a multi-disciplinary team can have on patient outcome can be huge and it really can take some team work to make the dream work!🐶👏🏻

Water confidence

When I first see a new client, I will often explain that hydrotherapy in the underwater treadmill is a very strange thing for dogs to get used to. Some dogs take to it like a fish in water and some need a little more time to get comfortable in the water🐟🌊

Rocco was not super keen on hydrotherapy to start with and has been working through slowly building up his confidence with confidence sessions. In these sssions, we have been getting him used to popping in and out of the treadmill with both doors open and lots of positive reinforcement when he does this independently. We then started filling the tank with water without him in it to get him used to the noise involved and offered treats/toys as rewards. After a few sessions, we started to close the doors for short bursts and open again and then started with very small amounts of water which allowed us to have the doors kept open. Rocco took to this well and we started to walk him on the belt and he quickly got used to this.

At his most recent sessions, we have had him in higher levels of water and walking towards his owner. The combination of hydrotherapy and vet physiotherapy with Leona at Serenity Veterinary Physiotherapy with an at home exercise prescription and a dedicated owner, Rocco has been coming on leaps and bounds. Conservatively managing a spinal episode can have a range of outcomes but having a multidisciplinary team approach really does allow for the best possible outcome📈💞

Winter fitness💪🏻✨❄️

The colder weather has set in and we have kick started Twist’s winter fitness plan. With the cold setting in and reduced competitions in agility, we have taken a step back away from being in peak physical fitness and will instead focus on core strength while maintaining good joint range of motion in his limbs. With sporting dogs, we don’t want to fully stop their exercise and let them lose all their condition but we want to maintain what they have before the start of the next season.

The benefit of warm water in hydrotherapy include boosting circulation, reduce inflammation, aid flexibility and providing gentle pain relief. ❤️‍🩹In Winter time, I tend to see more sporting and working dogs to help keep their muscle tone with the reduced level of activity they are getting compared to the warmer months.

Got a working or sporting dog who is winding down their season and ready for a break form competitions? Keep them fit over Winter with some underwater treadmill therapy🏃🏻‍♀️‍➡️🏃🏻‍➡️🐶

Now that we are coming into winter and the dark nights are coming in, it can definitely be difficult to keep up with exercise routines and that includes getting out with our pooches! ❄️🐶Often pets will pop on a bit of weight at this time of year- but it is super important to keep our dogs at a healthy weight to prevent or slow deterioration of joint disease and general stiffness.

Little miss Harris here has popped on a bit of weight following her spay surgery. She is very cute and so she does tend to get away with fluttering her eyelashes to get some extra treats! It is even more important with these wee sausages to keep the weight off of them to protect their spines from the risk of IVDD as much as possible. I will be posting her weight loss progress here- at her first session she weighed 8.3kg. After having a chat with her owner about treat allowance and exercise levels we have come up with a plan which includes hydrotherapy to get to her target weight. ⚖️

Hydrotherapy allows for exercise with reducing the weight and pressure going through the joints. It can be really useful for those very heavy dogs who tire quicker because the water acts as a buoyancy aid. Approximately 60% of pets are overweight or obese (Larsen & Villaverde, 2016) and although it might seem harsh to implement weight loss plans, it really is being cruel to be kind to protect their long term health.
