😛 TONGUE OUT TUESDAY 😛This handsome boy is Moose 🫎 Moose has been coming to us since November last year. He was diagnosed with bilateral elbow dysplasia and origionally came to us pre-operatively to build some muscle mass. Moose has since had surgery and returned 6 weeks later to manage his condition post op. Moose was quite water phobic when he first came to us, but as you can see he absolutely loves his sessions now and is such a confident swimmer. His owner has said he has not had any problems with his forelimbs since starting hydrotherapy! Keep up the good work Moose
JAGER This handsome boy is Jager! Jager is very new to hydrotherapy but as you can see he absolutely loves his sessions! He was referred to us after his owner noticed him struggling with his forelimbs and we have already seen some improvement in his joint ROM while swimming! Keep up the good work, Jager!
Happy 13th Birthday to the wonderful Fraggle!
Fraggle has been swimming with us weekly
since 2021 for help with his arthritis.
Fraggle really enjoys his swims and loves to play with his favourite banana toy and therapist!
Keep up the great work Fraggle! 🐾♥️
Happy Birthday!
Winnie
😛 TONGUE OUT TUESDAY 😛This weeks star is the wonderful Winnie! Winnie has been having hydrotherapy with us for a little while now after having surgery for an intervertebral disc protrusion. When Winnie first came to us she was completely non-ambulatory and she had her first voluntary movement whilst swimming in our pool! Winnie has gone on to make huge improvements as she is now able to hold herself up and walk around unassisted! We are all so proud of how far Winnie has come! You can see Winnie’s journey on her Instagram @win_stagram2019
Bonnie!
This beautiful girlie is Bonnie! 🐾 She came to us with bilateral hip dysplasia along with grade 1 patellar luxation. Her owners have reported she has not limped and she has made improvements since! Bonnie has started to really enjoy her hydrotherapy treatment as long as there’s peanut butter involved to keep her motivated! Keep up the amazing work Bonnie!
🐾 ALFIE 🐾
This lovely boy is Alfie! Alfie underwent bilateral FHNE surgery at the start of April and began his hydrotherapy in mid May. Since starting his treatment with us, we have seen a huge improvement in his weight-bearing and his hindlimb muscle mass. Alfie’s owners have reported that he is jumping up on the sofa again and being stronger during walks!
Keep up the fantastic work, Alfie!
This is Mabel! Mabel has been coming to us for IVDE and had a consequensial hemilaminectomy due to this. When Mabel first came to us she was unable to stand or walk and had to be assisted at all times- after an intense k-laser and hydrotherapy treatment, Mabel is now able to stand and has started to go on some short walks unassisted! Mabel continues to come to us for weekly hydrotherapy session to re-educate her gait.
It is also Mabel’s 4th birthday today! Keep up the good work Mabel 💪🏻
This is Darcy!
Darcy originally came to us back in 2021 for IVDD. She was quite weak through her hind limbs and was collapsing through her left hindlimb. Darcy has since continued weekly sessions with us and has made brilliant improvements over the years! She is now quite stable and is able to go for lovely long walks!
Darcy continues to come to us weekly to keep her condition maintained, especially as she gets older! As you can see she loves her sessions and our staff absolutely adore seeing her weekly!
Keep up the good work Darcy 💪🏻
ROSIE 🐕
Rosie has been having hydrotherapy with us since late 2022 and has made massive improvements ever since! Rosie suffers from elbow dysplasia and arthritis, but as you can see she doesn’t let that stop her! She is a very keen swimmer, especially when chasing our famous banana toy 🍌!
Keep up the good work, Rosie!
Everyone say hi to Cooper 👋🏻
Cooper has been coming to us for weekly hydrotherapy sessions after having multiple surgeries for OCD in his left shoulder. When he first came to us, Cooper was unable to go for walks any longer than 5 minutes without presenting with left forelimb lameness. Since starting hydrotherapy, Cooper has recently achieved his first 5k walk without any lameness! Cooper was quite a timid boy when he first started with us, but his therapist Alannah has worked with Cooper to build a relationship and as you can see, Cooper absolute loves his regular sessions now (thanks to his comfort Broccoli toy! 🥦)
If you are looking to start hydrotherapy but do have a nervous dog, get in touch and the team will be more than happy to work with you and your dog to make hydrotherapy as enjoyable as possible!
🎂 Happy Birthday, Toby! 🎂
Toby turned 14 over Easter weekend! Toby is currently having treatment targeting his shoulder soft tissue injury. While he is relatively new to his hydrotherapy journey, his owners have said his joints seem more fluid, and Kathryn has already noticed improvements in him!
Keep up the amazing work, Toby!

Everyone meet the wonderful and energetic Murphy!
Murphy attends hydrotherapy here with us as he has elbow dysplasia of the left elbow and underwent an arthroscopy in late 2020.

Keep it up Murphy, you are doing fab!! 🐾🐕🦺🎾
Our tongue out tuesday stars are dynamic duo Poppy and Finley!
Poppy and Finley have been coming to us as a duo since 2018! Poppy originally came to us to help with her hip dysplasia and started off having weekly hydrotherapy sessions to build muscle through her hindlimbs and therefore support her hips! Finley has since started coming along with Poppy for fun and fitness as he absolutely loves water and his owner wanted Finley to be able to swim in a safe environment!
Since starting hydrotherapy, Poppy has shown amazing improvements and now shows no signs of pain and discomfort! They both have now dropped down to monthly maintenance sessions and as you can see they both absolutely LOVE their swims!
Keep up the good work Poppy and Finley!
Everyone meet Meesha!
Meesha has been coming to us for almost a year for her patellar luxation. Her owners rescued her just over a year ago and she has come a long way since. Everyone at Hainault loves when Meesha and her sister, Georgie, come for their regular hydrotherapy sessions.
Meesha has also just turned 6 this weekend, happy birthday Meesha 🎊
