The hospital in Swanland is equipped with a modern Hydrotherapy Suite, complete with a large heated pool for free swimming and an underwater treadmill.
The unit is maintained and operated by our dedicated qualified hydrotherapists. Every dog that comes to use our facility has a health check with one of our nurses, or a Veterinary Surgeon if required. The dog enters the pool via a ramp, or in the case of weak or paralysed animals a hoist is available. A hydrotherapist always accompanies the dog in the water, to provide support, and the exercise regime is tailored to each individual dogs needs.

The treadmill allows specific areas of the patient to be worked accordingly, with the water level adjusted to suit each dog's requirements.

Every patient requires a referral from a Veterinary Surgeon. Referral forms are available on request from the Hospital reception.
