Bailey’s Ongoing Journey 🐾

Bailey has just turned 11 and has been coming to hydrotherapy since 2022, making him one of our longest-attending clients.

He loves staying active—whether running on the beach or exploring the forest, always on the lookout for “freebies” from the sea.

Thanks to his dedicated owners, a structured routine, and regular hydrotherapy, Bailey is moving better than ever. Age is just a number!

We’re grateful to support Bailey on his amazing journey and look forward to keeping him comfortable for many years to come.

Keep Your Young Dogs Moving – Fern’s Story 🐾

Fern is a bright, adventurous young dog who loves exploring the outdoors, chasing squirrels, and going on long walks with her owner. Like many young dogs, she’s full of energy and curiosity.

But behind that playful spirit, Fern faces ongoing challenges with her hips. These issues sometimes lead to soft tissue injuries and extra strain on her knees. Despite her owner’s best efforts to keep her exercise routine balanced, Fern’s determined personality means she often pushes herself a little too far.

To help her stay mobile and comfortable, Fern now attends regular physiotherapy and hydrotherapy sessions. These treatments support her strength, flexibility, and joint health, giving her the best chance to continue living an active, happy life.

Looking after your dog’s joints from a young age is one of the best ways to support their long-term wellbeing. Structured exercise, weight management, joint supplements, and plenty of rest all play a vital role 🐶.

If you’d like to learn more about how hydrotherapy can help young dogs like Fern, feel free to get in touch.

Today we honour the memory of our beloved animal companions.

We’d like to take a moment to remember Little Mae, a truly special soul who brought endless love and comfort to her mum. Despite life’s challenges, Mae faced every day with resilience and grace.

Rest peacefully, Mae. 🐾

Belle, Our Star Of The Month for May! ⭐️🐶

Meet Belle, our adorable sausage dog who’s on the road to recovery at Builth Rehabilitation Centre following a diagnosis of Intervertebral Disc Disease—a condition caused by spinal cord compression.

After her initial diagnosis, Belle was almost completely paralyzed in her hind limbs and unable to move or stand. Incontinence is also common with this condition. But her spirit has never wavered!

Thanks to rest, pain relief, physiotherapy, and hydrotherapy, Belle is now standing unaided, tackling small obstacles, and dashing around like a little rocket.

We’re so proud of her progress and thrilled to support her recovery journey.

Meet Bear – our very handsome patient of the week!

Bear is currently with us for rehabilitation following surgery for a ruptured cruciate ligament. He’s doing brilliantly so far – taking it all in his stride (and winning everyone over with those good looks!).

Our team is working closely with Bear to support his recovery with tailored rehab sessions focused on rebuilding strength, mobility, and confidence.

We’ll be sharing updates on his progress, so stay tuned to follow his journey back to full health!

Meet Barney, Our Star of the Month for April!🌟🐾

Barney, our playful and determined pup, has come such a long way on his weight loss and rehabilitation journey—and we couldn’t be prouder!

Back in May 2023, Barney joined us at less than a year old, already struggling with excessive weight, elbow dysplasia, and panosteitis (intermittent inflammation of the growth plates). Despite his diagnosis, Barney was always full of bounce, energy, and absolutely no self-control!

Through regular hydrotherapy, a strict diet, and carefully controlled exercise, Barney has made incredible progress. Today, he's living his best life—pain-free and still full of that same cheeky charm.

Since starting his journey, Barney has shed an impressive 5.5 kg. His waistline has gone from 64 cm to 53 cm, and he’s lost 8 cm around his chest! Not only is he feeling better physically, but he’s also loving all the extra attention and fuss he gets at every visit.

Well done, Barney—you’re a superstar!

Meet Ralph – A Familiar Face at Builth Vets!

Ralph came in for a physiotherapy check-up, where we picked up on some muscular tension. He then enjoyed some laser therapy and massage to help ease things out – not a bad way to spend the day!

He’s looked after by Meg, one of our receptionists, who’s keeping him in great shape with regular visits.

Proprioception and Hydrotherapy – Do They Work?

Did you know that proprioception allows us to perceive the movement, position, and actions of our bodies. Proprioception is essential for body awareness, balance, posture, and motor control. Sounds pretty important, right?

When dogs experience reduced proprioception, they may struggle with basic movements such as walking, placing their paws correctly, or may even drag their feet. Balancing can also become difficult for them.

Over the years, canine hydrotherapy has been recognized as an incredibly effective tool for improving a dog's proprioception. It's not just the properties of water—such as hydrostatic pressure and surface tension—that are beneficial. A variety of amazing techniques and equipment can be used to stimulate a dog’s motor and sensory systems. These techniques enhance proprioceptive feedback, speeding up and improving the rehabilitation process. Different textures, hands-on stimulation, varied pressure, and gentle balance exercises all help dogs become more aware of their body and its functions.

Canine hydrotherapy truly is an amazing rehabilitation tool! 🌊🐾

Meet Ada – One of Our Sweetest Regulars! 🐶

Ada visits us regularly for physiotherapy and hydrotherapy to help manage bilateral luxating patella – a condition where her kneecaps can slip out of place on both sides.

Thanks to her sessions, she’s building strength, improving mobility, and staying as active and comfortable as possible. She takes everything in her stride and always brings a gentle charm to the clinic.

As you can see, Ada enjoys her peaceful laser treatment, and of course, the post-session treats and fuss are always a bonus – which we’re more than happy to provide!

April is Canine Fitness Month! 🐾

At Builth Vets Rehabilitation & Conditioning Centre, we're all about helping your pets stay strong, mobile, and happy—so this is the perfect time to shine a light on simple ways you can support your dog’s fitness at home.

Here are a few easy exercises you can try:

Controlled, slow lead walking
This encourages even weight-bearing on all limbs, strengthens key muscle groups, and acts as a great warm-up before off-lead time.

Cavaletti poles
Great for improving joint mobility, coordination, balance, and body awareness. No poles at home? No problem—walking your dog through long grass works well too!

Gentle hill walking or gradual gradients
These help build hindlimb strength and support overall conditioning.

Walking on varied surfaces
Different textures like grass, tarmac, or gravel challenge your dog’s muscles in new ways. Softer surfaces can also help reduce joint impact, especially in dogs with arthritis.

If you have any questions or would like tailored advice for your dog, our team is always here to help. Don’t hesitate to get in touch or book a consultation.

Let’s keep our dogs moving better, for longer! 💪🐶

Meet Max, Our Star of the Month for March! 🌟🐾

Max, our brave and determined 14-year-old dog, has shown incredible resilience throughout his rehabilitation journey, and we’re so proud of him!

In August 2024, Max began regular hydrotherapy to help improve his muscle tone and strength. Unfortunately, within the past ten months, Max experienced two Vestibular Syndrome attacks—causing a sudden loss of balance and coordination. This condition, common in older dogs, severely affects the balance system in the inner ear and brain. Max’s attacks even led to a loss of use in his hind limbs.

Despite these challenges, Max has remained a fighter. He’s now back on his feet, working hard every day on his recovery and strength. The buoyancy of the underwater treadmill has been a fantastic tool in supporting dogs with balance issues and weakness in their limbs, helping Max regain his confidence and mobility.

Max’s determination proves that nothing can stop this sweet boy from bouncing back! 🐶💪
