Retirement Plans.....

After almost 15 years the time has come to hang up my waders.
From 1st April I will be taking on a centre management and admin role until September when the premises will hopefully be taken over by 4 Point Physio who I have worked alongside for 8 years.

I have met some lovely clients and their dogs during this time, many for years of visiting the centre for regular sessions.

Thank you all for the support of Wet Paws .

Love
Maggie & Amber

A working weekend .
Pool cleaned and scrubbed just a little more to fill and warm up !!

I was given a voucher by a friend for my Christmas and Birthday present and yesterday went for the first shoot with Rae. The second session will be once the Bluebells appear.
Amber was amazing and photogenic doing all that was asked from her.
A lovely post from Rae who I can highly recommend and I am really looking forward to seeing the pictures ❤️

I love it when rescue dogs find their forever, perfect home. In this instance I'm really not too sure exactly who has hit the jackpot! Is it Amber for finding an owner who is going to give her so many adventures and fantastic training to help develop her full potential and use that clever brain of hers. Or is it Amber's owner who has bagged herself a super bright dog who loves to learn and can definitely turn her paw to anything that's asked of her.

Either way, Amber now has an amazing future ahead of her so just watch this space! 💛

How you exercise your puppy matters more than you might think 🐶🦴

Young dogs’ joints are still developing, and the type, intensity and repetition of exercise they do early on can influence their joint health later in life.

From walks and play, to jumping, stairs and structured exercise - getting it right isn’t always obvious.

That’s why we’ve created a collection of clear, practical videos covering how to exercise puppies and young dogs safely and appropriately 👇

These resources are available inside our Member Zone, where you’ll also find trusted, evidence-informed guidance on protecting joint health at every life stage.

Small choices early on can make a big difference later 💙

𝗧𝗛𝗘 “𝗛𝗘’𝗦 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗔 𝗣𝗨𝗣𝗣𝗬” 𝗜𝗡𝗝𝗨𝗥𝗬 𝗣𝗜𝗣𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗘

Every week, we see it.
The limping “just a puppy” who’s been running laps with adult dogs at the park.
The “energetic” youngster who’s been chasing balls on hard ground every day.
The “training early” pup already doing agility drills before their bones have finished growing.

Here’s the hard truth:
Growth plates are soft cartilage. They don’t close until around 12–18 months, depending on breed.
Every jump, skid, or slide before then can twist, compress, or fracture developing joints, leaving lifelong damage that can’t be undone.

And yet, we keep hearing it.
“He’s just a puppy.”
Exactly. That’s why it matters.

Your puppy’s body is still under construction.
Exercise is important — but it must be age-appropriate, varied, and low-impact.
Walks, exploration, gentle play. Not weekend marathons or high-speed fetch sessions.

Protect the growth plates now, and you protect the adult dog they’ll become.

Seen this happen? Let’s talk.

Very sad news about RPD Stark who came to us for his hydrotherapy sessions on a regular basis during his service and retirement.
A loyal and brave dog who was treated carefully with much respect.
Thinking of Paul and Michelle .
Run free Stark 🌈💙🌈

Meet Amber

Amber found herself in the care of the Dogs Trust at just 12 weeks old and was being fostered locally when we met her over the weekend by luck or fate.
Following our sucessful application she came to live with us on Wednesday.
I like to think that she found me and we are looking forward to adventures together. 🐾🐾
As you can see she is settling in well and the office is now puppy school .
