Aqua Dog Hydrotherapy Rehabilitation and Recreational Centre

THE LARGEST CANINE HYDROTHERAPY CENTRE IN NI. Come and visit Aqua Dogs canine hydro pool
The heated pool is 6 metres by 3 metres wide and 1.2 metres deep
(107)

Aqua Dog seeks to give you and your canine the best possible experience. We work constantly to find new ways to improve the service we provide. Hydrotherapy is extremely beneficial for the anatomy of the dog and helps recovery and prevention of injuries. It can also be used for fun and as general good exercise to lose weight or reduce stress. The owner can stay poolside at all times and can help e

ncourage their furry friend to swim. One of our trained hydrotherapists will always be in the water with your dog at all times. Dogs will be fitted with a life jacket and aided into the pool via ramp access. After the session your pet is treated to a wash and blow dry to get rid of the chlorine and have them going home all cuddly and fresh.

Gorgeous girl Purdi started hydrotherapy to help her manage life as a tripod 🐶 She's come along so well in the few sessions so far and we cannot wait to see how she progresses 💪

Hydrotherapy is one of the best forms of treatment for tripods, helping to relieve muscle pain from compensation, keep the remaining limbs strengthen and also allowing them to go through full range of motion💪

The role of a hydrotherapist 💦

Often we are asked by clients or members of the public, what is the difference between swimming and hydrotherapy or what if I just take my dog to the river, why do I need a hydrotherapist? 🤔

Hydrotherapists are specifically trained individuals who are trained in techniques related to hydrotherapy. These therapists can utilise the properties of the water for the maximum benefit of our patients. This is very similar to asking your reluctant boyfriend for a back rub and seeking out a proffesional (there is a difference!). 🤭

A big misconception we often see is how certain dogs don't need to swim lots to gain benefit from hydrotherapy, especially our golden oldies. Fatigue and exertion is a big factor contributing to pain in these older dogs therefore it's vital that we monitor our dogs to ensure they are not overworked. 🙌

Hydrotherapists are able to ensure your dogs quality of movement is consistent throughout a session and will be able to know when to either increase the intensity or decrease it 😀

Hydrotherapists will also be trained in techniques designed to improve your dogs movement or encourage a better range of movement in a joint. But a thing is knowing when to be hands on with patients 🙌

Hydrotherapists play a pivotal role in the multidisciplinary team and can provide feedback to vets when they feel a patients pain levels are dropping or know even when swimming or the water treadmill isn't suitable. 🤔

Not all dogs are suitable for swimming and a trained hydrotherapist will know when it is better practice to decline treatment or opt for alternatives in the form of water treadmill therapy or physiotherapy.🤛

Hydrotherapists must know a wide range of subjects from anatomy to water management 💦 They play such a vital role in any rehab centre but today we particularly feel privileged to have a superb collection of qualified and highly trained hydrotherapists 🙏

Let's talk about Help Em Up Harnesses 🐕

These harnesses are often revolutionary in caring for your dog and you as their handler. Older and weaker dogs often benefit greatly from these harnesses which provide support for both the front of the dog and rear.

Harnesses can be used to help dogs do their physiotherapy exercises, day to day walks and also with lifting in and out of the car. 💪

Handles placed at different points makes handling far easier for you and is super comfortable for your dog.🐕‍🦺

Here we have Golden Oldie Oz who after several neurological traumas, benefits greatly from her harness, especially as a bigger breed. 🐕

Interested in sizing for your dog or have any questions, speak to one of the team today who are happy to help with any enquiries 😀

Senior hydrotherapist Erin is a Help Em Up Harness representative as well and is on hand to assist

Many thanks to Sandra and Oz for letting us video to share this great piece of equipment 🐶

We don't recommend any product for your dog unless we would personally use it for our own dogs 🐕 Daisy suffers from multiple neurological and orthopaedic conditions which causes her to tire very quickly and be quite unstable at times. We recently started using a Help Em Up Harness harness for extra support. This harness offers support for her front and back quarters, having handles for the handler to use to support the dog if needed. This is particularly useful for when Daisy starts to tire and needs a little support for the final stretch, especially as the last leg of our walk usually involves the hill up to our house 🏠 (Video in comments) If you have any questions or need help with measurements for a harness, we are happy to assist 😀

As many of you know Joanne recently rehomed Bandit from @dogstrustballymena. The team there asked us if we would share a small bio on their recent recruitment campaign. **Dogs Trust Ballymena are recruiting more foster carers** Watch the lovely Tammy being placed in her foster home to find out what to expect on the day a dog comes to you for a temporary stay until they find their forever home. If you would like to find out more or apply to foster please follow the link below https://www.dogstrust.org.uk/support-us/volunteering/vacancies/ballymena-foster-carer

If you are at the Comber Earlies festival today call in to No 14 Restaurant and have a chat with Joanne about how hydrotherapy can benefit your pup for rehabilitation, conservative management or general exercise .
