Qualifying as a hydrotherapist is just the start of the journey!

Every day brings new challenges, discoveries, and opportunities to grow.

As hydrotherapists, we’re committed to staying at the forefront of the latest research, techniques, and treatments to ensure that we provide the very best care for our four-legged patients.

It’s not just about the skills we’ve mastered, it’s about continually evolving, adapting, and improving to make a real difference in the lives of animals.

Through ongoing education, hands-on practice, and a passion for what we do, we aim to create lasting positive outcomes for the animals and owners we work with.

Continuing study and development isn’t just part of the job, it’s a core part of our mission to help animals recover, rehabilitate, and thrive!

Interesting to know this can happen to dogs too.

Many don’t know this information! Remember every second matters during a choking incident.
1. Place the dog on their back. Brace the back against the floor. Straddle the dog while adjusting yourself based on the size of the dog. Position the head in “in-line position” with the airway parallel to the floor.
2. Make an open diamond shape with your hands. Place your thumbs on either side of the trachea below the ball or object. Grip the “V” of the jaw using lip/cheek to protect fingers.
3. Push with a J-stroke down and out against the ball until it ejects from the mouth.
Both this method and the Heimlich method has been proven to work in these scenarios so don’t hesitate to save your dog.

Did you know that if you have a pacemaker, you can include it in your Will to be donated to a dog in need after you pass away?
Although pacemakers cannot be used for another human, they can help dogs with heart problems and potentially save their lives. You can arrange for the pacemaker to be sent to a vet of your choice. Many pacemakers are simply thrown away, and dogs may die because people do not know about this option. Donating the pacemaker can even save the dog's owner the cost of a new one, which can sometimes make a crucial difference in affording life-saving treatment.
How to donate? Update your will: Leave instructions to have your pacemaker removed and sent to a veterinary clinic of your choice
Ask your doctor to save the pacemaker: When your pacemaker is being replaced or upgraded, ask your doctor to save it for donation
Contact your local vet: Confirm that they would be able to use the pacemaker.
