Another great hydrotherapy session in the books here in Swindon! It's so wonderful to see Butch feeling good and making the most of his time in the water, even if it means holding his beloved burger for moral support. Every session helps! 💖

🐶📈The canine industry has expanded over the last few years and more of the population are finding the massive physical and mental benefits of owning a dog, and this includes the activities you can enjoy with your dog, which are continually growing.

Dog owners are also understanding that canine fitness is essential to participate in activities like agility, flyball, obedience, field trials and cani-cross, to name a few. With conditioning we can help to improve performance and reduce the risk of injury in these sports. 🥎

💦 Limb deformity awareness post 💦 Woozelbears Hydrotherapy, Grooming and Spa
🐶 Rusty started hydrotherapy at the Melksham branch as a very small pup and has been with us ever since! He was born with a limb deformity in his right forelimb that prevents him from using it like a ‘normal dog’, he is unable to straighten his elbow and can not stand on it to bear weight 🐶
😎 His owners made the hard decision to keep the limb instead of a full amputation in the hopes that he would use it and ‘walk’. Unfortunately for Rusty, ‘walking’ on it isn’t something that is possible, however, using it to play, swim, balance, climb stairs and lean are all things he CAN do! 😎
💧So why does he attend hydrotherapy? Since he is unable to weight bear through his right arm his gait pattern and over all weight bearing is off. Hydrotherapy helps to reduce the compensatory issues that arise in his hindlimbs and left shoulder from the additional weight he caries through them. Swimming in the pool takes away the pressure on his joints and allows for greater range of motion! 💧
🐾 His treadmill sessions are spent playing with toys and static exercises which help to reduce stiffness in his joints as well as allowing him to play and be supported by the water! Since attending hydrotherapy he has better balance, greater muscle mass throughout, and the ability to be an amazing swimmer!! 🐾
🐾 He doesn’t let his condition slow him down, nor knock his confidence. He is full of life and keeps us all on our toes as we race him in the pool! 😋

🚨 After just 4 sessions over the space of two weeks, Cassie’s scarring is significantly reduced! 😯
🐶 Cassie underwent a very heavy surgery which left her leg with a large incision site. Her owners were quick to jump onto an alternative therapy while she waited to be allowed back in the water 💦 They have used laser treatment which not only helps to deliver a fresh supply of nutrients and oxygen to the incision site and muscles underneath 💪 but also helps to reduce internal and external scarring, it accelerates the normal healing time and helps to reduce pain and swelling 😁

🐾 I don’t know about you guys but we surely think her leg looks much better! 🐾

💪 Winnie definitely takes our heart this week. She has been on a long hard road while rehabbing from having IVDD. For anyone who knows what this is, knows that the progress can slow and painful ☹️ Winnie’s owners have never gave up hope and have always been happy with even the smallest amount of progression 😌

🐶 Hers and her owners dedication to her condition and rehab are the sole reason she has made as much progress as she has. She has been attending for a long time and only recently she has started to take her first, unaided steps! This is amazing news and we couldn’t be any happier for her owners 🥰

🐾 Keep standing strong with your pups even in the face of defeat. Progression and improvement will come. Patience is 100% with it ❤️

🐶 This gentle face is Shadow, she attends hydrotherapy after having surgery on her stifles and loosing a lot of muscle surrounding her joint☹️
💦 She has responded amazingly to hydrotherapy (once she’s in the water anyways 😆) to help get her back to the young, sprightly self she was before her injury 🥰
