The Centre

Cassie

We are a brand new hydrotherapy centre in the grounds of Normandale Boarding Kennels.

As a fully qualified canine hydrotherapist (level 3 certificate), we provide a personal approach to your dog's well-being.

We will provide an individual treatment plan to ensure the very best outcomes.

We do not use hoists to get the dogs in and out of the water - we have a two-ramped system. Safety jackets are provided for all sessions.

Hydrotherapy

Hydrotherapy session

Hydrotherapy is a treatment carried out in water, to help achieve a dog's ability to function better on land and in its day-to-day living.

Positive effects that hydrotherapy can have on your dog:

  • Improves recovery time and helps heal conditions after many types of surgery
  • Increases muscle tone and mass
  • Slows down degenerative conditions by helping keep muscle tone
  • Helps to correct gait abnormalities
  • Increases range of movement
  • Can be used to help improve balance
  • Weight management when used in conjunction with a suitable diet
  • Pain management, as endorphins are released when exercising, providing the feel good factor
  • Supports development of overall fitness and condition
  • Reduces swelling and oedema
  • Helps create proprioceptive awareness and reflexes
  • Provides mental stimulation
