A sad week. We lost Sloovy this week. Not only did she suffer with Addisons disease, but hip dysplasia and severe arthritis in her front paws.
She came three times each fortnight for the relief that swimming gives painful joints. She loved it and we will miss her. Run free sweet girl.
Our thoughts are with her family. 💔💔🥰🥰🐾🐾

Our thoughts are with Luna's owners. 💔💔

This is so difficult for me to write. I have been struggling to cope with the recent unexpected passing of our beautiful Luna. It has been such a shock for us. Our shining star, our little miracle dog has gone over the rainbow bridge. The pain I feel is so deep, it is hard to bear some days. My heart is broken. I miss my Luna every minute of every day. Luna my sweetheart, my special girl, you not only learned to walk when many thought you wouldn't, you learn to run like the wind around the paddock, barking with delight with your freedom to play with your friends here. We cried with joy and amazement when you first stood on your own and when took your first steps unaided. And then one day you ran. You were so happy. Against all odds you were determined. I remember the day you looked so pleased with yourself for being able to climb on the sofa all on your own.. You looked at me as if to say 'I did it mum' How you would chatter away to the other dogs when you found your voice and even tell them off on occasions. You did so well with your hydrotherapy sessions. Everybody loved you and were amazed at how determined you were. How you had such a zest for life. You had nappy changes off to a tee. I would say "Luna nappy time" and you'd come over. I would put you on my lap and you would rest your paws, one of each of my arms while I changed you. You even tried to put your legs into a fresh nappy and I'd say "Luna, not yet sweetheart, wait a moment" you would look up at me with your beautiful brown eyes and I'd give you a kiss. "Now you can Luna" and you would try to put your legs into the nappy to help me. I miss you Luna so much. I miss you snuggling up to me at night. I reach out to feel you and you're not there and I cry for you. How do I cope without you Luna. You were one in million. My special and brave little girl. My days are not the same without you my little love. I have a huge void in my heart without you. Your friends miss you too Luna. To the dear friends who I have been able to share my heartache with. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being there for me and for understanding just how special Luna was and how much this has affected me. Of course, we have all our other lovely dogs here but Luna needed me so much more with her needs and so a very special bond was formed full of love for this little brave and amazing bundle of joy. You will forever be in my heart Luna, always and forever. I hope you are up there somewhere running free around a paddock barking with delight. Goodbye my little sweetheart. Always and forever loved.

By having the treatment, he has avoided the necessity of having surgery, it has also helped improve his fitness and weight control.

Little and large!
I often get asked about the size of dogs we treat.
Well, here is the largest a newfoundland and a teenie tiny Yorkshire terrier. Both at their first session.

He has been coming here regularly for 5 years now!
At first we built his strength now we are maintaining it.
Well done Archie you are a super star 🌟 🤩 👏

Sometimes the hardest part of this job is saying goodbye.
Not to the obvious success stories of the dog that has been successfully rehabilitated following surgery, but the successful old dogs that have been coming and enjoying their hydrotherapy for months or years. The ones we have helped to reach old age and cope well with arthritis and the like.
To help these dogs is a privilege and not something I take lightly. We treat them like one of our own and their family become friends.
This last month we have said goodbye to Susy and Chips both of which we will miss.
Run free sweet girls ❤️ our thoughts are with your families 💔🐾

Meet Walter! First session yesterday. He was born with deformed hind limbs which means he is missing a foot. Just 18 months old.
Hoping to get him strong enough for prosthesis!!
🐾🐾❤️

19/04/2023

This is Maggie!!
She is beautiful, affectionate girlie. She is currently the largest dog we treat. She was reluctant swimmer at first but now enjoys her sessions.
She started coming due to limping on her hindlimb, she now has much reduced limp and increased muscle mass and strength in her whole body.
She is a star!!

Meet Munchkin!!! She has hip dysplasia, thankfully it was diagnosed at 6 months old. She has been coming for hydrotherapy since then and now lives a normal active life. She enjoys her swimming 🏊‍♀️

Little Luna update!
She has been coming for hydrotherapy twice a week since August.
Two weeks ago she was strong enough to have surgery to release the tendon keeping her right leg bent.
Just look at the change in her. We still have way to go but she is doing so well. ❤️❤️
For more on her story have look at Sully's Sanctuary page.

Arthritis is one of the biggest premature killers of our beloved dogs. But it doesn't have to be. Hydrotherapy is fantastic for helping to give your dog a comfortable happy life.

Such a sad day. Rest in Peace your majesty 😭💔

Everyone please meet Luna!
This poor little dog has been through it in her 18 months of life. She was shot in the spine and run over.
Saved from that she was placed in a cage that was too small for her. She sustained horrific wounds, sores and lost her tail.
She is a real fighter and now has a loving home. This is her first time in the water and she coped so well attempting to use all of her legs. We have a long way to go but she is a little super star!!!
Well done Luna
