Classic Dave.

We secretly love it when our regulars decide it’s their turn waaaaaay ahead of schedule 🤣

We said goodbye to Emily this week 😭. She’s moving down south and we’re gutted to see her go. Here she is having her final cheeky swim with Rolo whilst he tries to find the toy for the 5,674th time! 🤣

She’s meant a lot to so many of our pooches here and the door is always open for her to come back and say hello!

We wish Emily all the best with her new adventure!

IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN! Leaves are fallin’ 🍂, hair is maltin’, mud is squelchin’! 🦠

A kind reminder on our T&Cs that all dogs should arrive clean & brushed for their hydro session. Plus clean footwear needs to be worn at all times (not dog walking boots! 🥾)

If dogs arrive dirty then we will be washing them down before their swim which will unfortunately eat in to their allocated swim time.

We run a throughly clean and hygienic hydro pool. We swim a lot of vulnerable and senior dogs with a heightened risk of infection so having a clean pool area is absolutely vital to keep all of us safe & germ free.

THANKS Y’ALL!

Fiona & Hydrohounds Team 💙🐾

DON’T WORRY! Lyssa gets to swim straight after her sister. 💦

Side note: She absolutely loves watching Lakka swim, and would happily do it for hours 🤣.

Lakka & Lyssa have been coming to Hydrohounds for ages and we’ve got in to a brilliant groove when it comes to swimming both of them. Both Lakka & Lyssa have different styles and motivations in the water so swimming them at the same time would be pretty unproductive for both as they need different kinds of stimulation (they are collies after all)!

Thanks to for bringing the girls to us, they brighten up our day!

YOU GUYS. 🚨

Hydrohounds will have a stall and the brilliant Grace will be doing a demo on all things physio THIS SATURDAY at Duttons, Bramhall.

The fantastic has organised this wonderful event and we’re so excited to be part of the day. It’s 12-5pm with interactive demos throughout the whole day for all of you that are curious to see how the likes of Scent work, tellington touch, physio and canine behaviour could help you or other pooches that you know.

It’s going to be a great day and the sun ☀️ is due to be out too! Woooooo!

See you then!

✨Hydrohounds is going through some changes, and it’s all very exciting!✨

Thank you so much to everyone that has shown us lots of patience whilst Hydrohounds goes through some transitioning. We always want to be transparent so here’s a short summary of what’s happening over the next few months:

🐾 Fiona: With a bun in the oven 🤰, Fiona has now moved out of the pool to solely focus on training and operations in the lead up to going on Maternity Leave in January 2026. On a personal note, Fiona’s father is also undergoing intensive chemotherapy which requires Fiona to isolate 😷 and regularly visit her parent’s down south. Sadly, this means that Fiona won’t be as present on site that she would like to be but will try to be in as much as possible.

🐾 Klaudia: WELCOME KLAUDIA! Klaudia has years of experience in both hydro and veterinary physiotherapy. She’s already been swimming many of our wonderful pooches and we are so lucky that she brings such a wealth of experience with her to us.

🐾 Emily: Emily is moving away! We’re gutted to see Emily go 🥺. She’s been such an asset to the team here and has treated so many dogs back to full health. Excited to say that we have a new person taking on Emily’s existing portfolio of dogs, we will be announcing their arrival soon.

🐾 Grace: Grace goes from strength to strength at Hydrohounds. We’re thrilled that Grace will be taking on the vital operational responsibilities whilst Fiona is on Maternity Leave. It’s not for the faint-hearted and we know that Grace is perfect to take on this task!

🐾 Pain & Veterinary Acupuncture Clinic: We’ve added Veterinary Acupuncture & Pain Clinic to our portfolio of services for our patients! Acupuncture hugely complements what we do and is an excellent treatment choice for conditions which result in chronic pain or nerve dysfunction. Please visit https://www.hydrohounds-wellness.co.uk/veterinary-acupuncture for more information. Please call Fiona on 07730164163 for more info.

Thanks again to all of our wonderful owners and doggos who have shown immense patience as we navigate lots of changes here at Hydrohounds. It means the world to us!

🎉🥳 HYDROHOUNDS IS 2 YEARS OLD! 🎉🥳

As a small business in this world, it’s blumin’ hard to reach that two year mark, but we’re here! And we couldn’t be more grateful for every single one of those people that have supported us along the way!

To see what we’ve achieved in two years with over 300 😱 dogs coming through our doors is frankly extraordinary and I’m SO excited to see where the next two years takes us.

👀 Watch this space for more treatments being added to our portfolio & new faces that will help us in enabling more pooches to become their best-selves 👀

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU 🤩 to everyone that has supported us. I’m also including those folks that have posed very real and big challenges to us, as it’s only made us improve and be better at what we do.

Lots of love,

Fiona & the Hydrohounds Team 🐾🐶❤️

Love this little guy! Physiothera-Pets 💙

Wee man's feeling all relaxed & chilled after his physiotherapy session at his favourite place. We're so grateful for everything they're doing for him 🥹
I can't recommend them enough, all the staff there are wonderful, highly knowledgeable and skilled at what they do. Everytime we go, they put my mind at ease. That kind of peace of mind for your dog- from genuine caring professionals, is truly priceless. 🫶💖🐾

🚨🥳 WE’RE HIRING WOOOOOOO! 🥳🚨

Hydrohounds – Based in Edgeley, Stockport, Manchester – is hiring for a self-employed part-time Hydrotherapist to join our team.
 
We opened 2 years ago and have seen huge success and rapid growth in both Hydrotherapy & Veterinary Physiotherapy.  It’s now got to a point where we need to hire more wonderful people to keep up with demand.
 
Why Hydrohounds?
 
We’re a new, innovative centre that welcomes ideas & creativity.  Our dogs are our absolute priority and we need someone that will always put them first.   We’re a dynamic business that is always evolving so we need staff that are happy to ride the waves of a fast-paced business that’s in high demand!  As the owner, I’m needing to be more involved in the operational running of the centre, so this is a HUGE opportunity for a hydrotherapist to come on board and take ownership of the hydrotherapy and treatment aspect of the business.
 
You will need to be:
- A registered canine hydrotherapist with experience.
Or
- A trainee canine hydrotherapist currently studying their hydrotherapy qualification.
Or
- A veterinary physiotherapist with a canine hydrotherapy qualification (or about to start the hydro qualification)
Or
- A Veterinary Nurse looking to make a career change.
