Friday morning is a Labrador morning, a totally crazy experience! This trio of goofball Labs are peanut butter lickimat connoisseurs and literally drag their owners into the shed. If I don't have their lickimats ready for them, they certainly let me know 😁. Merlo (yellow lab) is 11, Shiloh is 12 (choc lab) and Piper is 8 (black lab) all attend to help with muscle wastage as they age.

Here's going everyone's New Year has started off quietly. I will be sending this message out to everyone individually as well as I am aware that not all clients are on Facebook. If you are not following me on Facebook please do add this is where I post relevant information for all clients.

Just a couple of reminders and a few new notices.
1. I invest considerable time sending reminder messages, but unfortunately, some clients are not responding. I regret to inform you that if I do not receive a response to the confirmation message, I will have to cancel your dog's appointment. I strive to be flexible, but a growing number of clients are not responding to their reminder messages, leaving me uncertain about their attendance. Occasionally, this results in no-shows, which reduces my income and may cause another dog to miss out on an appointment. Consequently, if I have not received a response from you within 24 hours of the appointment, either confirming or cancelling, I will cancel your dog's session and offer it to another client

2. Although accidents can occur, some dogs unfortunately defecate in the treadmill. While I can sometimes remove the f***s, I am still required to thoroughly clean and sanitise the machine and rebalance the water before the next dog can use it. Due to back-to-back bookings, this can impact other clients. Please ensure you arrive early and provide your dog with sufficient time to toilet. A cleaning fee of $30 will be applied to any session where your dog defecates in the treadmill.

3. Please ensure you provide a minimum of 6 hours' notice if you are unable to attend a session. Failure to attend without notice will result in a request for full payment. While accidents, illnesses, and traffic issues are unavoidable and flexibility is always accommodated, there has been an increasing trend of clients 'forgetting' their appointments. If cancellation occurs with less than 6 hours' notice, a late cancellation fee of $20 may be applied.

4. Arrival - please ensure you arrive a minimum of 10 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time. This allows sufficient time for your dogs to toilet. If I am running ahead of schedule, I may be able to accommodate an early start. Conversely, late arrivals may result in a shorter session; for instance, a 10-minute delay will result in a 20-minute appointment. As I often schedule back-to-back appointments, late arrivals impact not only your session but also other clients. While the majority of clients demonstrate punctuality, a few consistently arrive late, necessitating this reminder.

5. Please ensure you are picking up after your dogs. Most clients are diligent about this, however, there are still a few clients who are not. This is my residence and my children play in the front yard daily

Amy and I are looking forward to another amazing year with all clients and their dogs. Please comment read if you see this.

Whilst we are still closed I have started looking at bookings for next week. I am filling up very quickly so if you haven't booked a session and you want one please let me know asap. All regular bookings (those with a recurring booking) will stay the same unless I am asked to change/cancel them.

Happy New Years to all our clients. We will reopen on the 4/1/2025.

The winner of the Pet Advent calendar random draw is Jess. Each dog who attended hydrotherapy in the month of December was entered into a random draw generator. Those clients who helped with donating goods to Nourish Street Inc received additional votes. I will give Jess her present at her next session.

21/12/2024

And that's a wrap for 2024 (except for our old dog morning). From Amy and myself we wish all of our clients a Merry Christmas. Thank you for everyone's unwavering support this year. It has been an extraordinary year and we have been inspired seeing your dogs thrive through hydrotherapy and grow stronger, achieving their full potential. We will be back on the 4/1/2025 after a well-deserved break.

Big storms heading out way. If you aren't coming to your hydrotherapy session please let me know with as much notice as possible.

Whilst chocolate is a no no, accidents do happen.

I know a few clients who might relate...

Maggie is a Cocker Spaniel who is here to loose some weight to assist with better health and joints. Maggie attends weekly and loves her sessions in both the treadmill and the heated pool.

Jack is an Australian Shepherd who competes regularly in agility. His owner knows the benefits of hydrotherapy and Jack (and his two sisters) attend regular sessions to keep them fit and in shape.

Boris, a Borzoi (also known as a Russian Hunting Sighthound), initially started hydrotherapy to alleviate some lower back pain, but now he attends weekly sessions to maintain his endurance for lure coursing and expend some energy while his owner recuperates from an injury.
