Meet Orla – October’s Dog of the Month! (A little late due to a Facebook glitch!)

Orla, a four-year-old Golden Retriever, visits our rehab centre for bilateral hip dysplasia and secondary osteoarthritis management. She loves human attention, so hydrotherapy—especially hands-on Underwater Treadmill sessions—is perfect for her.

Despite her conditions, Orla is thriving, full of energy, and even more playful since starting regular therapy. She and her sister Ruby keep life lively at home!

🐾🦴 Joint & Bone Week Focus: Cranial Cruciate Ligament Disease 🦴🐾

If your dog is suddenly limping or struggling with stairs, they could be dealing with cranial cruciate ligament disease — one of the most common causes of lameness in dogs.

The cruciate ligament helps keep the knee joint stable. When it becomes worn or tears, it can lead to pain, instability, and eventually arthritis — especially in breeds like Labradors, Rottweilers, and Boxers.

🧐 Look out for:
• A limp that comes and goes
• Trouble getting up or climbing stairs
• Stiffness after rest
• Less interest in walks or play

Some dogs will need surgery, while others can be managed with rehab, pain relief, and the right kind of exercise.

💧 Whether your dog has had surgery or not, our Rehabilitation & Conditioning Centre offers:
✔️ Hydrotherapy
✔️ Physiotherapy
✔️ Home exercise plans
✔️ Post-op recovery support

📞 If you’re worried about your dog’s movement, or your vet has mentioned cruciate issues, give us a call on 01982 553271 — we’re here to help them move more comfortably again.

Hattie’s Story 🐾

Meet Hattie, our Dog of the Month for September!

This precious and chatty Labrador has shown incredible resilience on her road to recovery.
In August, just weeks after major knee surgery, Hattie began hydrotherapy. She had injured herself leaping a fence on the farm, rupturing two major ligaments — a painful setback for such an active girl.

Post-surgery, she struggled to bear weight and lost a lot of muscle, with her left hind leg measuring 7 cm smaller than the other. But since starting hydro, Hattie has already regained 4 cm of muscle, is moving with confidence, and is back to her mischievous, playful self.

She still has a little way to go, but her progress has been amazing — and she’s completely stolen our hearts. 💛

Did you know? 🐶

One of the most powerful and beneficial properties of water is hydrostatic pressure. This simple yet effective characteristic plays a key role in supporting the body during hydrotherapy.

Hydrostatic pressure helps reduce tissue swelling by positively influencing the lymphatic drainage system, while also improving cardiovascular function, blood circulation, and supporting tissue recovery.

It also contributes to pain relief. The gentle, continuous pressure exerted by water on the animal’s body creates a neurological response that helps decrease the sensation of pain in affected areas—an incredible natural form of pain management.🐾

Combined with other properties of water like buoyancy, resistance, and viscosity, hydrostatic pressure can greatly enhance an animal's cardiovascular health, mobility, and overall comfort during rehabilitation.

Meet Moss – our very charming patient!🐾

Moss is currently with us for rehabilitation following surgery for spinal compression in his neck – a condition that turned his active world upside down earlier this year.

He’s been making fantastic progress so far, thanks to his determined spirit, daily physio, and ongoing hydrotherapy and acupuncture sessions.

Our team is working closely with Moss to help him regain strength, mobility, and confidence – and we’re thrilled to see him back to enjoying his favourite activity: playing ball! 🎾

We’ll be sharing more of Moss’s story as he continues his recovery journey – so keep an eye out for updates!

Seren’s Story 🐾

Meet Seren, our Dog of the Month for August!

This sweet Westie is not even a year old, but she’s already shown incredible strength and spirit.

Diagnosed with Legg-Calve-Perthes disease as a puppy, Seren needed surgery on her right hip (a femoral head and neck ostectomy). It was a big procedure, but she’s bounced back brilliantly.

Since starting hydrotherapy just five weeks ago, Seren has built up her muscles, improved her movement, and can now enjoy longer walks without discomfort. Despite never having been in the water before, she took to hydro like a natural!

She’s a bundle of love, joy, and energy — and we couldn’t be prouder of her progress.

Hydrotherapy for Large Breeds – gentle exercise, big benefits! 💧🐾

Did you know that regular hydrotherapy is a fantastic, low-impact way to keep your large breed dog healthy and mobile?

Due to their larger body structure, heavy bones, and increased muscle mass, these gentle giants often experience extra wear and tear on their joints. This can lead to issues like reduced range of motion, inflammation, discomfort – and common conditions such as elbow and hip dysplasia or Osteochondritis Dissecans (a joint cartilage disorder causing pain and stiffness)

That’s why it’s so important to be mindful of exercise routines, especially during those crucial puppy growth stages.

Hydrotherapy offers the perfect solution – helping to gently build muscle, support joint health, and keep your dog strong, active, and happy… all without adding extra strain to their bodies.

Just look at Rollo, our magnificent Alaskan Malamute, and Red, our solid Dogue de Bordeaux, loving their swim sessions! 🐶💦

Meet Chewy – our joyful ray of sunshine! ☀️🐾

Chewy is one of those special patients who brings a smile to everyone’s face – and we can safely say the feeling is mutual!

He’s been attending regular hydrotherapy sessions to manage his osteoarthritis and mild hip dysplasia in both hips, and he takes it all in stride with his usual charm and love for fuss and attention.

Chewy is also on a strict weight management plan, and it’s really paying off – he’s moving more comfortably, building strength in his hind limbs, and staying active and happy.

We absolutely adore this gorgeous boy – and we think you will too!
