Fit4dogsuk LTD Canine Hydrotherapy Centre

30/06/2023

Dear Fit4DogsUK Community,

It is with a heavy heart that I write this post today. After five incredible years of building and establishing Fit4DogsUK as the leading Hydrotherapy Centre in East Yorkshire, the time has come for me to step away. Operation K9 Ltd Hydrotherapy Centres will be taking over, and I have every confidence that they will continue to provide the exceptional care and service you have come to expect.

These past years have been filled with blood, sweat, and tears, but they have also been some of the most rewarding of my life. We have grown together, learned together, and built something truly special. I am immensely proud of what we have achieved and I am grateful to each and every one of you for your unwavering support and trust.

One of the greatest joys of this journey has been meeting so many of your furry friends and forming lasting friendships with you, their humans. The bonds we have formed and the stories we have shared will forever hold a special place in my heart.

While this goodbye is bittersweet, I am excited to share that I am embarking on a new journey. I am currently working on a Pet Rehabilitation app, designed to aid recovery at home. This project is close to my heart and I believe it will make a significant difference in the lives of our beloved pets.

In the meantime, I will be taking some time to recharge and reflect. I am thrilled to share that we will be heading back to New Zealand for a long holiday. This will be a time for rest, rejuvenation, and perhaps even a bit of inspiration for my upcoming project.

As I close this chapter and open a new one, I want to express my deepest gratitude to all of you. Thank you for being a part of this journey, for your support, your trust, and for allowing me to be a part of your lives and the lives of your pets.

Remember, every end is just a new beginning. Here's to new adventures!

With heartfelt thanks,

Kirsty Skeates

Take a mindful approach on your next walk with your furry friend. Instead of just rushing through, take a moment to appreciate the area around you. Engage your five senses to appreciate what’s happening all around you. Describe your surroundings to yourself in detail, but without comparing them to anything else. Just notice with gentle curiosity. Using this method will help you to enjoy your surroundings in fresh new ways.

Give it a try and let us know how it goes!

Make the most out of your dog walk by engaging with your furry companion during the on-lead portion. Scatter small pieces of food in the grass to engage their sense of smell, or practice calm strokes on the lead to reduce tension and promote calmness. Take deep breaths and enjoy the bonding experience with your dog walk.

Attention pet owners:

Does your dog suffer from spondylosis or arthritis?

As a canine hydrotherapist, I've seen amazing results from alternative treatments like hydrotherapy and pulsed magnetic therapy. They can transform your dog's mobility and quality of life.

Frankie, an ageing pug with spondylosis, could barely walk when he first came to us. But after just a few hydrotherapy sessions, he showed huge improvements! The water takes the pressure off joints while building muscle.

Frankie loves a little swimming and walking in the warm water—it soothes his aching spine.

We also provide pulsed magnetic therapy, which uses magnetic pulses to decrease pain and inflammation. The treatments are very calming, and owners see improved mobility, energy and appetite in their dogs after just a few short sessions.

Frankie's story shows how much we can help dogs with spondylosis and arthritis. If your pet is suffering from these issues, please consider hydrotherapy and pulsed magnetic therapy. They've given Frankie back his zest for life, and they can do the same for your dog.

These natural therapies effectively relieve pain in a non-invasive way. Your best friend will thank you for it!

💦💦Poppy Makes a Splash in Her Regular Hydrotherapy Session! 💦💦

Our girl Poppy is 9 years young and still loves making a splash in her regular hydrotherapy session! At her age, Poppy has arthritis and joint issues common in senior dogs. But thanks to her dedicated swim schedule at fit4dogsuk, this golden girl moves like a pup.

Hydrotherapy has been a literal lifesaver for Poppy in her golden years:

• It keeps those old joints supple and flexible. The water's buoyancy supports Poppy's weight so she can move freely, while the gentle resistance provides exercise to strengthen her muscles and increase range of motion.

• It eases arthritic aches and pains. The warm water soothes Poppy's joints and muscles, relieving pressure and loosening stiffness. Exercise also releases endorphins to boost her mood and act as natural painkillers.

• It gives her an energy boost. Swimming provides cardio exercise to improve circulation and endurance. Better blood flow means more oxygen delivered to cells—helping Poppy enjoy all her favourite activities!

• It keeps her young at heart. Regular hydrotherapy has done wonders for Poppy's independence and quality of life. Though she's 9, she still has the spirit of a puppy and loves going on adventures with the people who love her.

• It deepens the bond with our staff. Hydrotherapy requires dedication, trust and cooperation between Poppy and her handlers. Over the years, she has developed a profound connection with our staff, who have been by her side every stroke of the way.

Poppy is a hydrotherapy rock star and inspires us daily with her enthusiasm and youthful zest for life. We feel so fortunate to be part of her journey to health and happiness in her senior years.

Hydrotherapy has given Poppy a new "leash" on life at 9 years old. If your senior dog is slowing down, ask us how customized swim therapy programs can help them overcome aches and pains.

Guess who joined us for his first consultation?!

It's our very own Fin! 😊 Today, he assisted with note-taking during his session on luxation patella conservative management. It was an insightful discussion on how hydrotherapy can play a pivotal role in the rehabilitation process.

For those who may not know, luxation patella is a common knee condition in which the kneecap dislocates or moves out of its normal position. Hydrotherapy can be an excellent treatment option for patients, providing relief and promoting healing. This gentle yet effective therapy involves the use of water to reduce joint pain, and inflammation, and improve overall mobility.

We're so proud of Fin for being a quick learner and an excellent assistant.

We're excited to bring our clients more valuable information and services to help them on their journey towards better health.

Keep an eye out for more updates on Fin's progress and our various therapeutic offerings at Fit4dogsuk Canine Hydrotherapy and Rehabilitation Centre.
