🩺 Veterinary First Aid Training 🩺

More CPD for the Witney Woozels! Today, Rachel Bean hosted our first aid refresher training 🏥

Working with animals, particularly dogs with medical conditions, means that we must be able to conduct first aid, supporting cases to our emergency vet practice, Tremain Veterinary Group 💜

The training covered important aspects of dog ownership and ways we can further support our clients 💕 our resident grandma of Woozelbears, Bo, was unfortunately roped into our bandaging training 🤕 to say thank you, she was heavily compensated with items from everyone's lunchbox! 😋

Chilli, Rachel's Red Labrador, was a fantastic demo dog (which is hardly surprising, given she is used to an audience! 🎬) So, to say thank you, Chilli had a fun swim in the hydrotherapy pool💧

🐶 Founded in 2010, Woozelbears is the largest canine hydrotherapy and grooming company in the UK. Our founder, Charlotte Jarman, has played a pivotal role in advancing the education and awareness of hydrotherapy treatment for dogs.

📈 Our Impact on the Market
With the growing pet sector, approximately 33% of the population now owns a dog.🐕 The demand for hydrotherapy is rising as vets increasingly understand its benefits. Insurance companies are covering treatment costs, and hydrotherapy is now part of post-operative care for many surgical procedures. 💦 As a result, owners are investing more in their pets to ensure they lead long, healthy lives.

👨‍⚕It’s estimated that 80% of dogs over 8 years old suffer from arthritis, and hydrotherapy significantly improves mobility and pain management. Studies are now looking to suggest that a staggering 38% of dogs over the age of 12 months already have osteoarthritis present on x-rays. 😮

Discover the current franchise opportunities available and explore how you can embark on an exciting and rewarding career in the pet industry.

A canine conditioning gym concept can be a great addition to a training club, day care centre, dog behaviour centre, boarding establishment, hydrotherapy centre, physiotherapy service, massage therapist etc.
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.

🌍 Guess where in the world this gorgeous girl comes from ?? 🤷‍♀️

If I tell you she is a (failed!) reindeer- herding dog that might give up a clue 🤔.

Give up ? She hails from the tundra of Norway. She understands Sami, the language of the region. Fortunately for us, she has a few words of English 😂

Her failure in reindeer-herding is nothing to do with her ability - she’s the wrong colour ! Very difficult to see in the snowy, icey tundra.

She has come to Woozelbears for help with her return to an active life, after cruciate ligament surgery in her knee.

🤨 How does hydrotherapy help post surgery rehabilitation ?

💦 Rebuilds muscle strength – supports the recovering leg
💦 Improves range of motion – keeps joints flexible
💦 Reduces pain & swelling – warm water = natural relief
💦 It’s low-impact exercise – gentle on healing joints
💦 Boosts confidence – helps nervous pups feel safe moving again
💦 Speeds up recovery – a smoother path back to playtime!

🐕 Contact us for guidance on how your dog can benefit from hydrotherapy, to help them return to a more active life 💙

It was a fantastic opportunity to highlight how hydrotherapy can support recovery, improve mobility, and enhance the wellbeing of our canine companions.

💧Wet Dog Wednesday💧

Dexter loves to play with a ball during his hydrotherapy sessions 🥎 this allows him to enjoy a version of 'fetch' without the impact on his legs 🐾

Spot the way Dexter asks one of our team to throw the ball for him 🐕 isn't he polite! 🥰

We love finding out how to make your dog comfortable during their time with us ✨️ the happier the dog, the more 'feel good' hormones are released, which helps to downregulate their pain! 💕

🐾 Meet the patient Monday 🐾

Meet Zak 🐻

Zak was referred in February 2023 following a diagnosis of hip dysplasia and cranial cruciate ligament disease through his right knee 😣 unfortunately, Zak's left cruciate ligament required surgery in April 🩺

The conditions Zak suffers with mean that there can be postural changes to compensate for previous or ongoing associated pain 😢

Luckily, alongside Zak's wonderful vet team, we can help manage his condition using laser therapy and physiotherapy 💕 Zak has progressed brilliantly and thoroughly enjoys cuddles from the team 🥰

If your dog has had surgery, please feel free to give us a call to see how we can help support them back to their best selves 🐾

💧Wet Dog Wednesday💧

This week, we thought we would share this fabulous duo, Ruffles and Bailey 💛🧡

Both dogs attend our centre for hydrotherapy treatment, one being slightly more enthusiastic about water than the other 😅

To keep their joints warm following a session, our therapists recommend that patients wear a coat 💕 well, it turns out that the boys have quite a wardrobe! The award for best dressed dogs goes to Ruffles and Bailey 🤩

💧Wet Dog Wednesday💧

Meadow is a gorgeous border collie who announces her arrival to the centre by howling in reception 😆

One of the tricks she has learnt is to 'say please', so of course we had to see this for ourselves 🤩 what a polite way to ask our team to feed her more chicken 😋

What tricks can your dog do? Bonus points if you can post a photo or video in the comments 😀
