I have found a new range of dog bath robes/towels. I currently have 1 XL available in purple as well as 2 L (1 red, 1 purple) available. It is a case of first in first to get. I will be placing an order for more and smaller sizes for those interested. Please let me know if you want me to order and how many. I am unsure on colour availability at the moment. They will be $40 each.
They are smaller in size so will probably fit Aussies/Border Collies.
I have a whole range of new treats in stock as I have found a new supplier. Have a look when you are in next as I am sure there is something there your dogs would love. All treats are preservative free and Australian made.

Meet LeBron...He has been coming to hydrotherapy for 12 months and following a strict diet. He now has a waist, his fitness is hugely increased and he has developed alot of muscle.
IS PASTA APPROPRIATE FOR DOGS?
When pet owners prepare their own dog food, they often include rice and/or pasta. Pasta is a staple in many households and is often associated with family meals, as it brings people together. However, its place in a biologically appropriate diet for dogs is questionable. Pet owners may feel that pasta shows a higher level of love and care for their pets, but it is important to prioritize their nutritional needs over personal preferences.
The short answer is No!
Pasta serves as a binder in kibble, but it is excessively high in carbohydrates and lacks nutritional value for canines. Instead, consider incorporating cooked oats, buckwheat, or quinoa in modest amounts to enhance gut health.
As we strive to feed our dogs a fresh food diet, we must aim to mirror the natural diet of their wild ancestors as closely as possible. This means taking into account the nutritional needs of our canine companions and ensuring that their diet is not deficient in essential nutrients. Simply feeding them large batches of chicken, vegetables, and pasta or rice is not a nutrient-rich option and may have negative consequences for their health.
A well-rounded fresh food diet involves offering a diverse array of meals that provide the necessary balance of nutrients. Preparing large batches of food may not guarantee the required variety, making it essential to prioritize rotation and selection in meal planning.
Kennel cough/Canine cough
All dog owners are advised to exercise caution as there has been an increase in the number of dogs contracting kennel cough/canine cough recently.
Please do not bring your dogs to hydrotherapy if they show any symptoms until all dogs in the household are clear of the illness (no cough for a week). It is highly contagious and will likely spread to all dogs.
Although dogs are vaccinated annually, it is similar to our flu jabs and does not cover all strains.
To ensure the safety of your dogs, consider avoiding dog parks, doggy daycare, and boarding kennels, keep your dogs' vaccinations up to date, and watch for symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, and lethargy.
Please be vigilant and contact your vet if your dog shows any symptoms.
This is Otis, he has been learning to swim since he was 4 months old. He insists on holding onto a toy for his entire swim.
Pups in coats? More like paws-itively stylish! Share your fur babies' winter fashion moments with us, and let's brighten up this freezing week!
Bozzo had a view whilst swimming this afternoon... these 2 make kangaroos decided they need to put in a show.
Mr Tuff keeps us entertained during his sessions (and ensures we all get wet as well). He has elbow dysplasia but twice weekly hydrotherapy is keeping him fit and strong.
Do your dogs transform into zooming bullets after hydrotherapy, or do they crash and snore like a chainsaw? Show us the hilarious aftermath!
Meet Delilah... she is here to recover and strengthen her leg from her ACL surgery and to loose some of the extra weight she is carrying. She has done 8 sessions and is coming along so well.
The water is hot this morning🙂
Unfortunately, we have one broken treadmill at this time, and we are uncertain when it will be repaired. This will require us to rejuggle some sessions to ensure all dogs can can still have a session. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and are working to get the machine fixed as soon as possible.
Please keep an eye out for a text message today.
Thanks

Koda comes weekly for her hydrotherapy. She loves starting with a swim and then a trot in the treadmill. #aquatreadmills #underwatertreadmillfordogs #hydrotherapyfordogs #cruciateligament #heatedpool #injureddog #swimmingdog #fitdog

Sometimes we have to think outside the box when it comes to getting dogs comfortable in the treadmill. Meet Gretel and Hansel - these 2 are a bonded pair with a significant trauma history. We have tried treadmilling them in seperate treadmills but they just wouldn't settle. I decided to try them together in the same treadmill and as you can see they are far happier together. Thankfully they are both small dogs and we can fit 2 in one machine. The aim is to get them into seperate machines but for the moment we will treadmill them together.
Hydrotherapy is amazing for all dogs no matter their size or age. I work with alot of little dogs with luxating patellas as well as general fitness and old age.
I also work with a lot of Border Collies and Australian Shepard's as well. Most of them come in for general exercise but I also help out with weighloss, surgery and injury recovery. #aquatreadmills #underwatertreadmillfordogs #hydrotherapyfordogs #heatedpool #swimmingdog #injureddog #fitdog #SurgicalRecovery
Labrador galore....I am working with alot of Labs at the moment for a variety of reasons including weightloss, recovery from surgery and gentle fitness for the older dogs. #aquatreadmills #underwatertreadmillfordogs #hydrotherapyfordogs #heatedpool #swimmingdog #injureddog #fitdog #SurgicalRecovery
You know it is a chilly morning when you enter the work shed and see steam rising off the water....lucky dogs...water temp is up to 32 degrees to help with the aching joints caused by this chilly weather.
As a hydrotherapist for dogs, I've experienced both the elation of witnessing pawsitive transformations and the heartache of saying goodbye to some of my furry clients. This week has been especially difficult with the passing of three remarkable dogs. My thoughts are with their families as they face life without their loyal companions. May their memories bring solace and may their fur babies rest in peace, knowing they've left behind a legacy of love.
