FAQ: Why do you need a vet referral form? 🩺

For the wellbeing of your dog and the safety of our Hydrotherapist.

Our Hydrotherapist needs to be aware of any medical conditions that your dog suffers from in order to provide the most suitable exercises.
It is also essential that a qualified vet confirms if your dog does not have any underlying medical concerns in order to have a puppy or fitness swim.

Dogs Hide Pain – Here’s Why You Should Pay Attention 🐶

Dogs are masters at hiding pain. In the wild, showing weakness could make them vulnerable, so even our domesticated pups instinctively mask discomfort. That’s why subtle changes—like reduced energy, reluctance to jump, or a change in appetite—can be signs of something more serious.

Regular vet check-ups, careful observation, and knowing your dog’s normal behaviour can help catch health issues early. If something seems off, trust your gut—your dog may be trying to tell you something 🐕❤️

Hydrotherapy is great for large dogs because it provides low-impact exercise while supporting their joints and muscles. Here’s why it’s beneficial:

🦴 Joint-Friendly Workout – The buoyancy of water reduces stress on joints, making it ideal for dogs with arthritis, hip dysplasia, or recovering from injuries.

💪 Muscle Strength & Conditioning – Water resistance helps build muscle without putting strain on bones and ligaments.

🐕 Weight Management – Swimming burns calories efficiently, helping to keep large dogs at a healthy weight.

🤕 Injury Recovery & Pain Relief – Hydrotherapy aids in rehabilitation by improving circulation, flexibility, and reducing inflammation.

🧠 Mental Stimulation & Confidence – Many dogs enjoy swimming, which can reduce anxiety and improve overall well-being.

For large breeds prone to joint issues, hydrotherapy is a safe, effective way to stay fit and mobile! 🐶💦
