💙 PUPPY SWIMS 💙 Puppy swims are great for building socialisation skills and confidence around water. Giving you the owners confidence too knowing if they went in the water they could safely get back to the side or if they ever need hydrotherapy further down the line, it’s a good way to get them used to it! Rudi isn’t a water baby, he would rather sit and watch from the sidelines but we are slowly working on improving his confidence to the point he will go in without being carried. Everything is at your puppies pace, we don’t force we encourage with lots of praise (& liver paste Rudi’s favourite thing!) If you would like more information on puppy swims or hydrotherapy in general, please don’t hesitate to contact us! #caninehydrotherapy #caninepuppyswims #puppyswimming #puppysocialisation #puppywaterconfidence #whippet #whippetswimming

🐾 PUPPY SWIMS 🐾With our puppy swims, we take everything very slow and at your dogs pace. We use lots of treats, toys & plenty of encouragement to help ease them into the water. These sessions are great for socialising and for exercise as it’s low impact on the joints. Rudi is finally learning how to swim properly and in a safe way. We only do little sessions but he gets worn out mentally, so he goes home and sleeps for the rest of the night - bonus! 😆
When clients make a cute video 💙 Charlie is just the sweetest, cheeky little chap! Keep smashing it little dude 👏🏼
💙 PADDY 💙
Absolutely love this cheeky chap! Made him chase the ball round the pool, finally let him have the ball after his session and he decided I need to fetch it! 😂 I’m not sure who’s taking the session!
⭐️ ALFIE ⭐️
I posted a video in November of Alfie, he was nervous about going swimming so we spent all the session just having lots of cuddles and reassurance. This session after 10 minutes of cuddles he swam, and I couldn’t be prouder of the little superstar.
It takes a lot of patience and time when dogs are nervous but once we achieve what we set out to do, it’s the best feeling! ☺️
❗️WARNING - CUTE VIDEO ALERT❗️
🌭 SAUSAGE 🌭
Sausage is 5 months old, he’s coming for water confidence and also to get used to hydrotherapy surroundings.
Getting your puppy used to the surroundings can help benefit them in the future if they ever need hydrotherapy for any medical reasons.
🌸 BELLA 🌸
This gorgeous girl has gotten a little chubs, we’re going to help Bella get her summer body! 😎
She absolutely smashed her first session and was a little superstar! ⭐️
We can weigh your dog each time they come in for a session and measure their waist/chest to see how much they loose each time ☺️
If you would like more information on hydrotherapy please get in touch! 🐾
🐾 OZZY 🐾
As many of my clients know, my boy Ozzy has arthritis in his hips. He was showing very slight signs of pain which included
- panting as soon as we went on a walk
- holding his tail low
- not excited about going for a walk
Pain in dogs doesn’t always mean they yelp or are lame, their are many other signs that dogs could be in pain. Canine arthritis management have lots of information on how to recognise pain.
Ozzy is 12 years old, but he’s starting acting a lot happier since we’ve started him on monthly librela injections.
Hydrotherapy can have a real benefit to help dogs with arthritis. The warmth of the water helps loosen stiff muscles and reduce joint inflammation. The buoyancy of the water makes swimming across the pool a zero impact exercise, which means the dog can stretch out stiff muscles without the accompanying pain associated with bearing weight on the affected limbs.

💙 ALFIE 💙
Alfie was a little unsure about swimming, we didn’t managed to get him to swim today which is fine. We just had lots of cuddles on the ramp and treats for encouragement!
Sometimes it can take a few sessions for dogs to want to swim, but we make sure your dog feels safe and comfortable. We take things very steady and at your dogs pace.
I always say take the little wins in life, for Alfie todays little win is getting in the pool and on the ramp!
When you have one space left so Scuba has to decide who goes swimming.. him or his brother 🤔
🦮 KETO 🦮
Keto is a gentle boy, he does everything at Keto’s pace! (This video is sped up!😆) Keto is slightly stiff in his back legs and is having hydrotherapy to help loosen any joints and ease any pain.
Keto is doing really well at hydrotherapy, he especially loves it at the end where he gets a rub down with the towel while killing another towel 😆

🌸 MAISIE 🌸
Maisie has been coming to me monthly for water confidence sessions, she started off a bit wary but with lots of encouragement and patience she started to swim on her own.
Here’s a lovely video her furparents sent me of her going in all by herself for the first time outside of the hydrotherapy pool. She really is a little gem 💎
Well done Maisie 👏🏼
🌸 PERFECT PIP 🌸
Pip is a pro at swimming mainly because her mum is a hydrotherapist and she is obsessed with water! 😆
She’s knows every move you make before you even make it - definitely smarter than us! 😉
I think I’m more worn out than her after the session! 🤦🏼♀️
🌼 MAISIE 🌼
When maisie comes swimming she’s a ball of energy, she probably wears me out more than I wear her out, also I don’t know who’s more wet after the session me or maisie! (She LOVES a cuddle on the ramp but who could resist that face??!)
I think the pool is one of Maisie’s favourite place but I mean what more could you want?🤷🏼♀️ She gets cuddles, toys, treats & water all in one place!! 😆

🌻 MAISIE 🌻
Maisie is a gorgeous clumber spaniel, she comes to hydrotherapy to gain confidence in the water and for fitness. Finally putting my underwater camera at more use (still trying to get the hang of it 🤦🏼♀️!)
This is her 3rd session, and she’s gaining confidence and trust each time she comes!
It’s a good thing she LOVES her food and to sit on my lap for a cuddle! 😆
If you wish to help your furbaby gain confidence with water or for general fitness, please contact me through messenger or text/ring me on 07376716462.
✨ OZZY ✨
Perks of being a hydrotherapist and having your own pool - I can swim with my own poochie. 🐶
Ozzy is 11 next month with no health issues, but I’m really trying to focus on swimming him more to keep his cardio vascular system fit and also build his muscle mass.
When he was a puppy he fell into the canal which has scarred him all his life, he never swims only paddles in water so this is also building his confidence in a controlled safe way.
💙 ATTICUS 💙
Atti having a fitness swim, he is such a water baby. He loves the water ❤️
