Massive shout out to Lynsey Rout who is constantly here at all hours with us allowing us to give 100% to each and every animal we see! We are so proud to work with you!

Hydrotherapy, Physiotherapy & Laser are all great therapies in their own right but when you add them together it really is something special!!

It was such an honour to be back in the The Houses of Parliament yesterday evening for the All Party Parliamentary Dog Advisory Welfare Group

Talking about the Human-Animal bond 🐾❤️

We were in a room full of truly amazing and inspirational speakers such as

⭐️ Dr Bin Johnston - Founder and CEO of Our Special Friends.

⭐️ Dr Elizabeth Ormerod - Chair society for Companion Animal Studies.

⭐️ Dr Rebecca Leonardi - Founder of Paws for Progress

⭐️ Dr Helen Lewis - Professor of Education at Swansea University.

⭐️ Angela Barker - Canine Befrienders

⭐️ Kerstin Meints - Professor in developmental Psychology at Lincoln University , Head of Lincoln Education assistance with dogs.

⭐️ Lucy Eldred - CEO of Canine Partners

⭐️ Tracie Faa Thompson - Co Founder international association of Animal Assisted Play Therapy.

Our Host was the wonderful Marc the Vet Dr Marc Abraham who puts so much into these evenings.

We were honoured to be given the opportunity to speak to the room and touch base on the work that we do here to help ensure that dogs are in tip top shape to continue to work whether that be by rehabilitating them for an injury/condition or through preventative care as they age or for mental stimulation and exercise. So many working dogs and dogs with a purpose cross our doors. These dogs do so much for us as humans, some go out into our local community as assistance dogs, guide dogs, dogs that go into the local care homes and those that enter into our local school to help children with additional needs as well as those who suffer with connecting and settling at school.

We are always in awe when we listen to these dogs latest achievements and adventures within our local community.

Here at our centre we ensure that through a multidisciplinary approach using Hydrotherapy, Physiotherapy and Laser these dogs are able to continue to carry on doing their vital jobs. However it is also paramount in our eyes to look after not just our four legged friends but their humans too!

That's why we do our best to always provide a safe space for ALL through our NEW support groups for our owners where they can offload the mental and physical worries and pressures that come with rehabilitation. Our support groups allow people to connect with others and ask questions and share stories and support over a hot cup of tea/coffee and friendly faces (Keep a look out for our up coming groups)

These conversations are so important and it's imperative that we keep these conversations going! We are extremely humbled to be able to be given the opportunity to highlight what we do here, we do so much more than just putting a dog in water! Being able to be part of this conversation with such BIG inspirational people was truly touching. Bringing our little peice to the puzzle is an honour.

Hydrotherapy is still such an undervalued and unknown about industry. Water is so powerful when paired with the right knowledge and skills so when we have these huge animal advocates hear us out about what we as an industry can bring to the table regarding animal welfare is such a massive deal!! 💦

Thank you so much again for including us in this conversation. Also thank you to Agria Pet Insurance for sponsoring this brilliant event!

📚 Bridging the Gap: From Level 3 to Level 4 Certificate in Canine Hydrotherapy 📚

Are you a Level 3 qualified Canine Hydrotherapist looking to elevate your hydrotherapy expertise? Ready to advance your skills and earn a Level 4 qualification? If so, a bridging qualification could be the perfect next step! 👇

What is a Bridging Qualification?
A bridging qualification is a tailored program designed to help learners transition smoothly from one level of education to the next, equipping them with the advanced knowledge and skills needed to meet specific criteria or standards.
The Gatehouse Awards Level 4 Certificate in Canine Hydrotherapy ‘bridging qualification’ serves as a tailored qualification, developed in collaboration with Subject Matter Experts, Employers, and the Professional Association IRVAP. This qualification is designed to support qualified Level 3 Canine Hydrotherapists in smoothly transitioning to this advanced programme, while equipping them with the enhanced knowledge and skills required to meet specific criteria and standards.

What Does the Bridging Qualification Cover?
✨ Introduction to Advanced Topics
You’ll get a head start on Level 4 topics like:
• Advanced clinical assessments
• Rehabilitation techniques for complex conditions
• Manual therapies integration
✨ Hands-On Practical Training
The bridging qualification includes practical learning, so you can confidently transition to advanced techniques with real-world applications.
✨ Streamlined Transition
Rather than repeating what you’ve already mastered, the bridging course focuses on bridging the knowledge gap to make the move to Level 4 as smooth and efficient as possible.

Why Consider a Bridging Qualification?
✔️ It saves time by focusing only on what you need to progress.
✔️ It helps you align with the new industry standards (IRVAP Level 4 from 2025).
✔️ It enhances your expertise, making you more competitive and capable in the field.

🌟 Are you ready to bridge the gap and unlock new opportunities in Canine Hydrotherapy? Let us help you transition from Level 3 to Level 4 with confidence!

It was an absolute honour to have been sat in the Houses of Parliament on Tuesday, surrounded by some amazing people doing extraordinary things in the animal welfare world! We are two people who started this centre with nothing more than a dream and drive to help but we are just little fish in comparison to those who we sat with in Parliament. Massive shout out to Broken Biscuits who were one of the speakers, you guys were amazing advocating for dogs with IVDD it's a pleasure to work alongside you we were very proud watching you. Thank you for the invite! 💕 We were absolutely star struck meeting Marc the Vet what an honour! We hope to be back there soon meeting more amazing humans!

Of course we had to take our mascot 'Pamela' with us! Enjoy her journey to the "big house" (we may have got some strange looks 🤣)

🗣 Here's what Marley and Picca say:

There are so many little things we can do through the day to help with our dog’s conditioning and fitness.

A GOOD sit vs. a sloppy sit can make a big difference in our dog’s life.

Information is power. Watching and paying attention to this webinar gives you the information needed to make that difference in your dog, whether it’s just a home pet or a sports dog, they all run around and go crazy! They all benefit from fitness sessions.

What a MASSIVE honour to be invited to have seats at this year's All Party Parliamentary Dog Advisory Welfare Group by one of their amazing guest speakers. Massive thank you to Broken Biscuits for inviting us, we are privileged to be able to stand by you at this event but also work alongside you too!

We are so excited to be part of this amazing event, giving us the chance to meet campaigners & lesser-known organisations, we get to celebrate & spread awareness of the wonderful work they're doing, often with minimal resources. The best part is we with the help of Broken Biscuits will be bringing awareness to IVDD as a condition, the amount of work required to own a dog with IVDD, the rehabilitation required and breeds most susceptable to it. It's an honour to be representing the Hydrotherapy industry 💦

We never thought this would ever happen. Being awarded "Highly Commended' for Hydrotherapist of the year at the Animal Star Awards on the 9th November and then at the Houses of Parliament on the 10th of December. What a way to end the year and we couldn't be more grateful to each and every family member, friend and client that has helped us get to where we are today. We love you all so much. ❤️ here to helping many more paws 🐾

28/11/2024

A lovely mention in the local press, we still can't believe that we were chosen as finalists out of 800 nominations let alone being awarded the ONLY " Highly Commended" runner up award in the Northern region "Hydrotherapist of the year category" at the amazing Animal Star Awards ⭐️ thank you for the mention The Spalding & South Holland Voice 🐾

A Highly Commended award was presented to a Pinchbeck hydrotherapy business. Woozelbears Spalding, ran by couple Andrew and Lauren Greedy were announced as runners up in the Animal Star Awards' hydrotherapy category.Andrew said: "We were honoured to be short listed out of over 800 nominations in 12....

💥 We are having some maintenance work done at the centre today! 💥

We are sorry for any inconvenience that this causes however these works allow us to continue to keep giving you and your animals the service that you deserve. Thank you for your understanding and continued support ❤️

December grooming competition announcement 🚨 ❄️

We would like to announce that our grooming competition is BACK🤩

Each dog that is groomed in the month of December will have the chance to win 🐾

11/11/2024

⭐️ 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! 🐾

09/11/2024

Animal Star Awards 🌟 💜 we are over the moon!! Just being here is winning, being surrounded by like minded people who give their life and souls to what they do! We can not thank everyone enough for supporting us, we wouldn't be doing what we do without you all!! ❤️
