Something tells us that the dogs we treat LOVE their sessions 🤣

Both Oscar and Beauty were ready to get in the treat machine as soon as they came through the door!

Luna 🥰🥰🥰

Luna is a lovely example of a conservative management approach to suspected IVDD.

❤️❤️❤️

Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) in dogs is a neurological condition that involves the spinal cord, the vertebrae, or back bones (the small, round bones that make up the spinal column or spine), and the disc material between each vertebra.

The vertebrae protect the spinal cord and the nerves that transmit impulses to and from the brain and the rest of the body. The spine also supports the weight and movement of the body. When something is wrong with the spine, it causes pain or even immobility. In between each vertebra is a soft, jelly-like disc surrounded by thick fibrous tissue. This intervertebral material serves as a cushion to absorb shock and help provide flexibility to the body as it moves.

IVDD in dogs is a condition that occurs when the cushioning discs between the bones of the spinal column either bulge or burst into the space containing the spinal cord. When this disc material pushes on the spinal cord, it can cause pain, nerve damage, and even paralysis. This condition is also known as a slipped disc, herniated disc, or bulging disc.

Well done Luna, we love playing ball 🥎 🥰

Kovu has really enjoyed starting his Hydrotherapy journey in our Newport branch! He’s definitely 100% for the snacks and is having fun learning about how our “treat machine” works 🤣

Why not give Kovu a follow?
He’s a hard working lad! (Go check out his account to find out why!)

The incredibly handsome Henry came for his first ever visit Saturday!

Considering he’s only had a few sessions at another centre, he absolutely aced his first Westmac session, and we are so excited and proud to be part of Henry’s journey!

Diagnosed with Elbow Dysplasia as only a young dog Henry’s mum is now utilising the wonders of Hydrotherapy to help him in his golden olden years, to keep muscle, ease stiffness and keep him feeling tip top!

Good boy Henry!

Thank you SO SO much to everyone who left us an updated Google review!

When your pet is hurt or weak it’s so difficult to know who to trust and who to turn to for help, we all know it’s an incredibly anxious and hard time for any dog owner!

All your wonderful experiences of us, our care and our facilities can make the world of difference for anyone who isn’t sure what to expect, or who would like to hear all about us before making that leap to book in!

Congratulations to Nyx on being our winner, but EVERYONE who left us a review will get a small token of our thanks (or your dogs will anyway 🤣)

Thank you 🤩

Here’s Hunter, from the side!

You can see he has a marked weakness in both his hind limbs, but mostly to his left hind side.

When I’m not helping he can raise the left leg but has no power or control to perform the full range of movement he needs in order to step correctly.

So by utilising the support of the water, I can help him by manually manipulating his legs to help his timing and range of movement. He’s got tickily feet 🤭 so sometimes does resist my assistance a little, but we are working on him trusting me and he’s coming on so well!

The resistance of the water will help his muscles to grow much faster as movement in warmed water is about 6 times harder than the land based equivalent, so hopefully within a few weeks he will be doing these movements for himself!

Hunter has such fun at our brand new Newport Branch 🥰

Absolutely AMAZING to be visited by a dear friend whom I’ve known for many years 🥰

I train my own dogs in a sport called IGP which comprises of three phases of Tracking, Obedience and Protection work, so Hydro is of course useful for keeping them in tip top form for competing and staying injury free in intense workouts.

Jirka is from the Czech Republic, and shares my crazy love of this dog sport.

He’s the owner of the world renowned company Gappay, which makes industry leading, top quality dog training products, as well as being a top judge and breeder!

We met many years ago when he was training at our club in the UK whilst being here for work, and a firm friendship grew with a great group of people ❤️

It was an honour to be able to show him our brand new set up in Newport, I’m hoping that he finds it useful and informative 🥰

Thank you for your visit my friend, and thank you for the kind gifts too 🥰 safe travels home ✈️
