The lovely Archie came for his first visit today.

He is 12.5 years old & has recently been diagnosed with arthritis.

Due to a very sensitive tummy, he’s more limits about which medications he can have. We’re hopeful the hydrotherapy will aid his mobility & build some strength back up.

He loved his session - a very happy boy 🥰

Luca had his first visit last week.

He’s an 11yo Siberian Husky who is struggling with some arthritis.

The pool is such a great therapy for dogs like Luca, weightless and pain free exercise that makes him feel spritely and a bit younger after his session. This is a great picture of him looking so happy - after some initial apprehension on his first session, this week he’s much more settled & getting the hang of it.

He’s a natural swimmer & loves the water - keep it up boy, you’re doing great ❤️

This week sees us celebrate our 10 year anniversary of Dip Your Paws at Welbourn.

Wow - 10 years!!!

For me it’s a massive achievement, leaving my full time salaried job to retrain and set up my own business - something I never thought I’d be brave enough to do.

We’ve had so many lovely dogs & their owners - helping them on their journeys - it’s always so rewarding when it all comes together & the dogs make improvements.

Thank you as always to Nicola, I couldn’t do it without her. She’s great at her job and always there to support me when I need it - it’s hard running your own business, and I truly appreciate all the help I get from everyone ❤️

I have picked pictures of our dogs as there are too many others to choose from - please feel free to post in the comments any pictures of your dogs in our pool - we’d love to see them.

Thank you

This girl always brightens up the day.
She’s so happy & loves her sessions at the pool - from start to finish she has the happiest face & you can’t help but be happy with her.

Thank you Bella for being that beautiful of sunshine brightening up the day ❤️

We met this lovely boy last week for the first time.

He’s 3 years old but been through some major surgery. Having been diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia, surgery was his only option. He had bi lateral femoral head removal (the head of his femurs removed to relieve the pain in his hip joint).

He is doing incredibly well and now needs to build up the muscle round his hips to support that area.

He was quite anxious to start with but soon started to settle.
Well done Charlie 🥰

We met gorgeous Billie earlier this week.

She is a pro at hydrotherapy as she’s been doing it elsewhere until recently.

She has elbow dysplasia and being in the pool allows her to move more freely and she absolutely loves it so provides her great mental stimulation & enjoyment.

Great to meet you Billie ❤️
