My yes and nos from B&M as a canine hydrotherapist.

This was quite surprising with how many things had hidden rawhide. It’s always useful checking the ingredients as the front of these packages claimed to be 100% meat or made from meat juices when in reality the first ingredient is rawhide!

20/02/2025

Clinical canine hydrotherapy involves a trained therapist working with each dog in an aquatic setting in a pleasant, considerate and connected manner. Using clinical reasoning, evidence-based practice, and canine therapeutic handling skills, it offers an assessment-led treatment. It is administered in a clean, safe and warm environment.

Using the healing qualities of water, treatments include manual therapies, rehabilitation therapies, movement therapies and controlled exercise therapies. In order to correct movement dysfunction that may be caused by neurological, musculoskeletal, orthopaedic or medical functional deficiencies, these aquatic treatments are integrated with land-based exercises.

Clinical hydrotherapy is utilised both proactively and in response to movement dysfunction, and it can maximise each dog’s level if fitness, health and well-being. The expert therapist offers a secure and efficient method to significantly improve the dog’s quality of life.

The gorgeous Rocky has been coming to me these last few weeks to help him keep going after being diagnosed with both elbow and hip dysplasia.

Rocky is quite timid of the water so we have been taking things super slow and at his own pace. 🐾

Did you know that 77% of British citizens read a review before enquiring?

This means it can really important that a business has reviews link to them to allow others to know whether it’ll be an appropriate place for them.

So why not leave us a review!

What are the negatives of the job?

The other day I done the positives so to keep things real let’s talk over some negatives I can endure with being a hydrotherapist:

🐾 when clients you have made close relationships with pass away
🐾 it is quite a tiring and hard manual work for the body
🐾 there is only one of me at Cambridge hydrotherapy centre which means there’s one person who does: the swimming, replying to emails, answering phone calls, booking people in, writing up notes, cleaning, doing insurance claims, doing water testing, weighing out chemicals etc
🐾 hydrotherapy isn’t for every dog so seeing that all the hard work you, the owner and the dog have put in just isn’t working for them.
🐾 being able to please everyone. This is definitely one I struggle most with. I do find myself being a people pleaser but when it comes to running your own business you just can’t please everyone so this may mean not being able to book someone in on a day that suits them or ensuring there is spaces available for everyone. At lot of the time I will find myself offering slots out which are out of my working hours to supply to people who can’t either make it in my opening hours or if I have available slots. Whilst I don’t mind doing it in the moment I do find that I then sacrifice time with my family or tire myself out a lot.

And whilst these are negatives they are negatives that come with the job that I know other hydrotherapists suffer. Despite these negatives I would not change it for the world. The positives most definitely out weigh the negatives.

This gorgeous girl is Lunatic Luna. She unfortunately lost her left fore in a road traffic accident in November 24.

Both her owners and vet felt she could do with build some muscle on her right fore to ensure it’s an easier transition with three legs whilst also enjoying herself.

If you watched her session today you would’ve never known she had three legs.

Well done Luna! 🐾

One question I get asked a lot is ‘do you love your job?’

And of course the answer is YES!

So here are some of my favourite positives from the job:

🐾 you build relationships and connections to the dogs
🐾 you are improving their quality of life
🐾 when you and the owner see a huge difference in the dog
🐾 making human friends
🐾 watching the dogs have fun in their sessions
🐾 seeing their confidence grow in the water
🐾 building relationships with local physios, vets, hydrotherapists, massage therapists etc

Becoming a hydrotherapist and having my own business was a dream of mine from when I was 15 years old so being able to have Cambridge hydrotherapy centre and experience all these positives each day is making my dream come true and I love every minute of it!

Here is before and after of a dirty dog going in the pool.

This should NOT be happening. This dog also had a shower before going in.

Please please please ensure your dog is clean before coming to their session. Not only is it not nice for me to be in the pool with it like this it is also not fair on owners bringing their dogs. This also causes time consuming clean up!

If your dog changes the colour of the pool I will be adding a dirty dog charge. If it happens multiple times it may lead to me asking you not to return.

Morning guys

I just wanted to make you aware that *KENNEL COUGH* has appeared locally in this area.

As you may or may not know, this is highly contagious. If your pup is showing any symptoms, please give your vet a call.

Symptoms include:

🐶A persistent dry, hacking cough.

🐶Coughing during the night that keeps you and your dog awake.

🐶Retching with the production of white foam.

🐶Clear eye drainage.

🐶Runny nose and sneezing.

🐶Tracheal sensitivity.

Needless to say, if your pup or any other doggie member of your family/household is exhibiting any of the above signs, please get in touch and DO NOT bring them for their session.

We want to make sure we reduce any risks of passing this on. 🫶

BRAND NEW SERVICE***

Does your dog compete in agility or flyball?

Have they just qualified to show at Crufts?

I am looking for 3 working dogs to join my intense 6 or 4 week working course.

This course is for clinically sound dogs who need to keep their fitness up to standard for their working activities.

Each session will include a mobility session which will involve land based exercises that will target muscle building. The session will then be finished with a fitness swim that will help with muscles building, cardiovascular strength, mental stimulation and joint function and manoeuvrability.

If you join this course before the 15th of Feb you will get it at discounted price:

6 week course -

Was: £420 now: £350

4 week course -

Was: £280 now: £200

Another amazing session from Sebbi! Sebbi is one of my reactive clients that we do a hands free session. Whilst I have been working fear free with Sebbi for a couple of months now he is still not quite comfortable with me touching him. Due to this me and his owners decided to conduct a hands free session. This means I don’t touch Sebbi unless in an emergency, luckily Sebbi likes swimming so it has been easier to coax him in the pool. As I cannot touch him his owners do make the effort to assist when needed. (All under my supervision) I am in the pool at all times with Sebbi. Despite being reactive Sebbi has not shown any aggression towards me and enjoys a carrot from my hand. • • • • • • • #hydrotherapy #hydrotherapyfordogs #dogswimming #dogsoftiktok #dogsswimmingpool #doghydrotherapy #fearfreepets #rehabilitation #dog #dogrehab #dogswimming #hydrotherapyfordogs #caninehydrotherapy

Rory's last mobility session! Rory has officially completed his 6 week mobility course and will now move onto hydrotherapy. To make this session a bit more fun we decided to create an obstacle course. Heres what we did: Forelimbs on step, hind limbs on wobble cushion Obstacle course - over pole on first hole, sit to stands, over pole on first hole, forelimbs up on block At the end since he was doing so well we decided to do forelimbs on step and hind limbs on wobble cushion with wobble cushion being moved around to add more instability. Rory done amazing with this and his improvement is just amazing. 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 🐾 #cambridgehydrotherapycentre #fearfreepets #hydrotherapycentre #rehabilitationfordogs #swimming #fearfree #doginjuries #massagefordogs #rehabilitation #dog #arthritis #dogrehab #dogswimming #fitness #hydrotherapyfordogs #caninehydrotherapy #dogs #Hydrotherapy
