⭐️ Fair warning this is a long post ⭐️

Well what an achievement! Just incase you missed our previous post, Andrew and I were awarded "Highly Commended" Hydrotherapists, Hydrotherapy centre of the year at the Animal Star Awards ⭐️ The fact that we were nominated by our lovely clients and then shortlisted out of over 800 nominees to become finalists was winning in itself, let alone being awarded the only "Highly Commended" in our category and coming in second place for the Northern region!! Just wow! Thank you Mary the founder of ASA for hosting a wonderful evening and for bringing so much recognition to the animal industry!!

What an honour! We have dedicated our whole lives to animal welfare being Veterinary nurses for over a decade each and then hanging our stethoscopes up and jumping into the animal rehabilitation world, using our skills and knowledge as both Vet Nurses and Hydrotherapists to get so many animals back on their feet. Opening this centre was a dream for so long, our blood, sweat and tears have gone into this place. It's an honour and pleasure to do what we do, it's the most emotionality, mentally and physically demanding thing we have ever done but watching dogs and cats regain their movement, seeing their pain dwindle, watching their confidence grow not just in the water but at home too and getting to be a part of their journey makes our hearts full, it's the reason we give this place our everything.

Thank you so much to all of you who have supported us from day one and continue to do so, we wouldn't be here today without each and every one one of you! Honestly we can not thank you all enough 💕

Thank you to our amazing team, Andrew and I may be the only Hydrotherapists here but we are not the only important people, this centre doesn't run with out everyone and we couldn't do our job without the support of our team, so massive shout outs to Anna Charlotte Kelly and Kayley Hall. Also to our two amazing physiotherapist Lynsey Rout and Megan, working alongside each other is the key to better rehabilitation.

Last but not least massive thanks to our families for always pushing us and helping us achieve our dreams ❤️ and to our boys for always understanding that Mummy & Daddy need to be at the centre crazy hours to be able to help lots of animals! 🐾

They say things happen for a reason and Dave knew we all needed a win today and by God did he deliver!!

Dave has a spinal condition called IVDD and this left his hind legs completely paralysed. Through Physiotherapy Hydrotherapy 💦 & laser and a shed load of dedication from his owners Dave took his first steps today!!!! Lauren held back tears as she sat in the treadmill trying to keep it together to carry on the session as normal while Lynsey was in floods of tears because these are huge moments, it's hard to not get emotional! We are beyond proud of this little warrior ❤️ one step at a time is the way forward 🐾 THIS is why we do what we do, moment like these!

We had a fantastic day raising money for such a worthy charity, which is so close to our hearts.... Broken Biscuits. We raised an impressive £240 washing dogs + another £90 in generous extra donations, bringing us to an outstanding total of £330!! Every penny has already gone to Broken Biscuits Fundraising Page. 🐾🥳

Thank you to everyone who turned up today, some familiar faces and some new. Without you we couldn't have raised such an impressive amount of money, which will go a very long way to help disabled animals get the care and treatment they deserve.

We would also like to say a massive thank you to Kayley Hall for kindly donating her time to help us. Without you, we couldn't have done what we did today, we are really proud to have you as a member of our team 🩷. Thank you to everyone who helped make today possible!

All our love and thanks,
Andrew and Lauren

We tend to post on social media/talk about IVDD and the positive benefits of hydrotherapy & physiotherapy and talk about positive progress and all the amazing magical moments of recovery but there is a side to it that we don't tend to talk about and that's the owners perspective and their journey dealing with IVDD.

George was one of our IVDD dogs here who proved just how much hydrotherapy can help with a spinal condition. His rehabilitation journey was amazing, it was full of so many amazing moments. His progress was phenomenal but it wasn't all smooth sailing, there were plenty of bumps along the way that affected his whole family. Sadly George recently went on his final journey and crossed the rainbow bridge 🌈 but his story is still inspiring and gives so many owners hope and comfort. He is talked about so much here. His memory will long live on.

Beth bravely came in to talk to us and reflect on their unique IVDD journey with George.

To Beth & Graham thank you for trusting us with your precious George and allowing us to be a part of his journey. We send you both and of course Benson so much love 💕

To George, it was truly an honour to know you. Thank you for allowing us to help you and love you along the way. You will be forever missed but forever remembered. Run free little sausage 🌈 All our love Andrew & Lauren 🩷

We had the pleasure of visiting Sutton Bridge Veterinary Clinic 🩺today along with Regis Veterinary Physiotherapy Ltd to give a 'lunch and learn' to the all the veterinary staff there. We had a really enthusiastic talk about the benefits of Hydrotherapy 💦, Laser and Physiotherapy and their place alongside Veterinary medicine. We were also taken on a tour of the practice which we must say is very impressive! Thank you so much Sutton Bridge Veterinary practice for having us, it was wonderful to have met such a lovely team of people. 🐾

S is for September but also for Spine. With September being our spinal awareness month and as many of you know, Andrew having a spinal condition himself 🥺, we wanted to get a bit personal and share his story, thoughts 💭 and hopefully impart some helpful advice along the way.

11/09/2024

Fun fact! Lauren is not only a fully trained hydrotherapist but she is also a professional at dog cuddles 😉😂

All of our dogs work so hard and are just too cute not to give cuddles to🥰 and our furry-friends never complain 😉

Let's talk about deep pain and sensation and why we, as hydrotherapists and physiotherapists get so excited about it with our spinal patients. 🐾

Deep pain is, by definition, 'the conscious perception and response to a noxious stimulus'. With spinal conditions, in this post IVDD, it is common for there to be no deep pain, Essentially, meaning they can't feel their feet. This is because nerves have been compressed by the 'slipped' disc in the spine, meaning messages received lower down from the nerve compression can't make it to the brain to be processed. This creates an absence of deep pain. When we start to see deep pain responses, this means that the disc isn't compressing nerves in the spine as much and that new nerve pathways are being created. This essentially means that the patient can feel their feet, to some degree, again. This isn't an 'on/off' switch but a slow process that improves over time.

You then start to see greater evidence of this when you find 'their spot' and the back legs start to twitch and scratch. This is now no longer just a reaction to pain, deep pain, but sensation. More subtle and gentle than deep pain. Offen caused by scratching or tickling.

This is why we get so excited, a patient going from no feeling, to deep pain, to subtle sensations is a massive improvement and such a massive indication they are going in the right direction. A small twitch of the paw when tickled may seem small but for us and the patients progress, it is massive. ‼️

With all spinal cases, rehabilitation is a long journey, a marathon, not a sprint. Every mile stone, no matter how small, is greatly celebrated. Without these seemingly small changes, the bigger changes like standing or walking wouldn't be possible.💕

Why your groomer won't clip off your double coated dog.

As the weather warms up, the groomer parlour gets busier. Quite often we get asked to clip off a double coated dog to help make them cooler. In fact doing this will make it worse, exposing them to more heat and here's why.

🐾 Lets start with what is a double coat?
Literally what it says on the tin, the dog has two different types of coat on them. The outer guard coat, which is the shiny coat on top. The second coat is the undercoat, the soft denser coat. Some examples of breeds with a double coat are Collies, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds and Pomeranians.

🐾 How does having a double coat help in the summer?
The guard coat help to reflect the suns rays away from the body, whilst a dry, tangle free undercoat traps a layer of cool air. When the coat is not compacted with too much undercoat excess body heat can escape.
A clipped coat won't have the protection against the sun and heat in the summer, preventing the dog to regulate their body temperature.

🐾 What can I do to help my double coated dog stay cool?
A well groomed double coat is the answer. If the coat is compacted with loose undercoat the excess body heat can't escape and they won't be able to insulate the layer of cool air.
Regular brushing and trips to the grooming parlour for a de-shed will help with this.
Imagine standing outside in the heat wearing a sweater under the shade of a tree. Brushing out the loose undercoat is the equivalent of taking off the sweater. Clipping the coat off is the equivalent of removing the shady tree, exposing yourself in the direct sun.

Thank you to groomerism for the infographic. It explains so well how the double coat works.

Is your dog going to the vets for a teeth clean for periodontal treatment or tooth extraction? 🦷 Did you know laser therapy can help with healing after the procedure? ☺️
The infra-red light provides energy to the cells within the tissue allowing them to repair more quickly and reduces the transmission of pain signals from the tissue to the central nervous system; having a combined effect on tissue healing and pain.

Wowsers 🤩

Meet this lovely lady who was certainly happy to lose all that fluff after her bath and deshed

Here are some of the benefits as to why you should take your lab to the groomers.

🐶 Healthy Coat: Regular grooming helps remove dirt, dead hair, and distributes natural oils, promoting a shiny and healthy coat for your Lab.

🐶 Reduced Shedding: While Labs are known for their shedding, regular grooming can help minimize the amount of loose hair in your home by removing it before it falls out.

🐶 Preventive Care: By regularly grooming your Lab, we can spot any skin issues, lumps, or abnormalities early, potentially preventing more serious health issues down the line.

🐶 Health Check: Grooming sessions allow us to check your Lab's ears, eyes, teeth, and nails for any signs of problems or infections.

🐾 Pre-Operative Hydrotherapy: Boosting Cruciate Repair Recovery! 🐾

🌊 Let's dive into the incredible benefits of attending hydrotherapy sessions before your dog's cruciate repair surgery. Get ready to discover how this pre-operative therapy can pave the way for a smoother and speedier recovery! 🐾✨

Here's why pre-operative hydrotherapy is a game-changer for your furry friend:

1️⃣ Strengthening muscles: Hydrotherapy exercises prior to cruciate repair surgery focus on building strength in the affected leg and the surrounding muscle groups. This increased muscular support will provide a solid foundation for the post-operative recovery process, allowing your dog to regain mobility more quickly. 🏋️‍♀️💪

2️⃣ Improved range of motion: Regular hydrotherapy sessions before surgery can enhance your dog's joint flexibility and increase their range of motion. This preparation allows the surgical intervention to be more effective by addressing any existing stiffness or limited mobility, making the recovery process smoother and more efficient. 🔄💦

3️⃣ Pain management: Hydrotherapy helps manage pain and discomfort pre-operatively. The warm water and gentle movements stimulate blood flow, promoting natural pain relief. By reducing inflammation and easing muscle tension, your furry friend will experience greater comfort both before and after the procedure. 🌡️❤️

4️⃣ Mental and emotional well-being: Pre-operative hydrotherapy provides mental and emotional benefits as well. It allows your dog to engage in a positive and stimulating activity, reducing stress and anxiety. A happy and relaxed state of mind can contribute to a smoother recovery process. 🌈😄

5️⃣ Speedier recovery post-surgery: By attending hydrotherapy sessions before cruciate repair surgery, your dog's body will be better prepared for the rehabilitation phase. The increased muscle strength, improved range of motion, and reduced inflammation resulting from pre-operative hydrotherapy can expedite the recovery process and help your dog regain normal function sooner. ⏩🐾

Always consult with your veterinarian to determine if hydrotherapy is suitable for your dog's specific condition and surgical plan. They will guide you on the appropriate timing and frequency of sessions tailored to your furry friend's needs.
🏅

Give your pup the best chance at a successful recovery! Embrace the power of pre-operative hydrotherapy and witness the transformative impact it can have on your dog's post-surgical healing journey. Together, let's ensure your four-legged companion bounces back stronger than ever! 🐾💙

🐾 Why it is best to wait to approximately 6 months for puppies first haircut. 🐾

Puppies are born with a single coat of soft-fluffy fur. This soft, fluffy fur helps regulate body temperature, whilst their bodies are maturing. At around 4-6 months of age puppies will shed their puppy coat and grow there adult coat which is more course and thicker. Clip their coat too soon and they will struggle to regulate their temperature 🥵🥶

Between the ages of 3-6 month is the perfect time to bring them in for their course of puppy introductory sessions to grooming.

Introducing your puppy to grooming is important to set them up ready for their first hair cut. The grooming experience will be much less daunting for them and will become part of normal life. It's perfect for there socialisation.

What are the benefits of feeding raw?

😋 Digestion
Raw food can be easier for dogs to digest, even the sensitive tummies out there. With raw you don't have to worry about added bulkers, sugars and derivatives to the food.

💩 Poops
Raw feeding is 100% natural without the added fillers, resulting in less waste at the other end. Their poops are smaller and firmer, much easier for bagging up.

✨Coat and skin
With the right nutrients and protein levels your dog can go around with a shinier coat and healthier skin.

🦷 Teeth
Raw meaty chews are a great way to help with your dogs teeth. A natural way to help clean their teeth and a great form of enrichment.

Check your branch for their selection of raw foods and treats.

🔍 Time to get up close and personal with a little lesson on hair follicles 💇 and how they determine ease of coat maintenance.

When a dog comes in to the parlour with a very tangly or matted coat, we have to make a decision if we brush out or clip off.

It's always due to the dogs comfort that we clip off. However if we were to brush the coat it would leave it damaged, making it extremely difficult for you to keep on top of at home. 😱

Damaged hair matts up much more easier, requiring over brushing to de-matt which causes more damage. This is just creating a constant circle of de-matting, which isn't enjoyable for you or your dog. 🔄😫 If you look at the image of the damaged hair, you can see how it can easily grip onto other damaged hairs, causing tangles that then leads to matting.

So when we suggest clip off or cut out the matts to start a-fresh, we mean for a new grooming regime and to encourage growth of healthy hair making coat maintenance much easier for you. 😊

Speak to your groomer about suitable products for maintaining healthy coat.
