Rottweiler Appreciation Post and Hydrotherapy Progress! 🐾🖤

Meet Tyson, a wonderful 1-year-old Rottweiler who began hydrotherapy at just 9 months old after his trainer noticed an abnormality in his gait.
During his initial assessment, we identified a 2 cm imbalance in both his hindlimbs and forelimbs, with his right hindlimb and left forelimb being slightly smaller.

Since then, Tyson has worked incredibly hard in his hydrotherapy sessions—mainly on the Underwater Treadmill (UWTM)—and his progress over just 12 sessions has been fantastic! Recently, he’s also discovered how exciting swimming can be, and now it’s one of his favourite parts of therapy. We absolutely adore Tyson and are so proud of how far he’s come. 💙🐾

And of course, we can’t forget Athena!
Athena attends monthly hydrotherapy sessions with us because her owner understands how vital hydrotherapy is for larger breeds—helping to protect joints and reduce the risk of injury. As a working dog who also competes in sport, hydrotherapy has been a brilliant way to condition her gait and improve her range of movement.

We’re also working on building Athena’s confidence — and she loves hydrotherapy so much! 💛🐾 we all love Athena!

We’re so proud of both Tyson and Athena—they’re shining examples of how hydrotherapy supports strength, mobility, and confidence.

Important Announcement from Top Dog Canine Hydrotherapy

Dear Clients and Friends,

A Message from Maggie Cunniffe

After 20 wonderful years working with dogs (and the occasional cat!), I have decided to hang up my wetsuit. Although it’s sad to say goodbye, now feels like the right time to hand over my “water wings” to Harvey and his team. I’m very happy that Top Dog will continue — albeit under a new name and at a new location — but I know that its ethos will remain the same: it’s all about the dog.

It has been such a privilege to meet so many wonderful dogs over the years, and I have loved every single one of them. Harvey has worked incredibly hard over the past year, growing the business and earning several awards in hydrotherapy. I am confident that he will continue to care for your dogs in the true Top Dog Way, and I wish him every success in this next chapter.

Warm regards,
Maggie Cunniffe

A Message from Harvey

I’ve loved running Top Dog Canine Hydrotherapy over the past year — seeing so many different cases and meeting such amazing clients has been a real joy. As the business continues to grow, I’m very excited to announce that we’ll be opening a new centre called HS Canine Hydrotherapy.

Opening Date: 15th December (11th December last day at TOP DOG HYDRO)
New Address: Unit B16 & B17, Grateley Business Park, Cholderton Road, Grateley, SP11 8SH

Email: [email protected]
Phone: 07384 778397

Our new facility will feature an advanced Underwater Treadmill (UWTM), and there will be room to add a pool at a later date. I’ve already begun letting clients know about this change — for some dogs, pool-based rehabilitation may still be more suitable, and I’ll happily help direct those cases to the nearest centres that have a pool.

For others, we’ll continue with the UWTM and monitor progress — it’s a fantastic piece of equipment that delivers great results for many dogs.

Team Updates

We’ll sadly be saying goodbye to Leona, who will be leaving us to pursue her exciting travelling adventures — we wish her all the very best on her journey!

The good news is that Cody will be continuing with us at the new centre, and we’ll also be joined by my mum, Sharon, who will be volunteering her time to help with admin and assistance duties.

I’m incredibly proud of how far we’ve come and so grateful for your continued support. Let’s keep growing together, achieving great results for your dogs — and hopefully winning even more awards along the way!

I look forward to welcoming you all to HS Canine Hydrotherapy soon.

Best wishes,
Harvey Standfield

🎃👻 Thank You for Entering Our Halloween Costume Competition! 👻🎃

A huge thank you to everyone who entered our Halloween costume competition — we’ve absolutely loved seeing all your creative dog costumes! 🐶🧛‍♂️🕸️

Here are this year’s great entries 👇
We’ll be announcing the winners tomorrow, so stay tuned! 🏆

While you’re enjoying the Halloween fun, here are a few top tips to keep your dogs safe:
🐾 Keep treats out of reach – Chocolate, raisins, and many sweets are toxic to dogs.
🐾 Avoid costume stress – Only dress your dog up if they’re comfortable and can move freely.
🐾 Watch the door – Trick-or-treaters can make dogs anxious or slip outside. Keep them calm and secure.
🐾 Mind the decorations – Wires, candles, and fake cobwebs can be hazardous if chewed or knocked over.
🐾 Stick to routine – Keeping walk and meal times normal helps your pup stay settled amid the excitement.

Have a safe and spooky Halloween from all of us at Top Dog Canine Hydrotherapy! 🎃💙

🐾 Progress Update! 🐾

Take a look at this amazing progress video!

🌊 Monty – our lovely 2-year-old Labrador x Spaniel – has been coming for hydrotherapy following patella luxation in his left hind limb and pain associated with hip extension. He’s now completed his 12th session with us and has made fantastic progress!

Monty’s hip range of movement and overall fitness have improved massively, and his owner is absolutely thrilled to see him back enjoying his normal activities again. Well done, Monty! 💪🐶
