As you can see, our patients love our hydrotherapy sessions! 🥰
These take place in our state-of-the-art underwater treadmill, where the combination of warm water and controlled exercise has amazing therapeutic benefits.
Hydrotherapy can help pets by reducing inflammation, relieving pain, improving muscle tone and strength, and speeding recovery from injury or trauma. It can also be beneficial for conditions such as:
👉 Osteoarthritis
👉 Hip and elbow dysplasia
👉 Cruciate injury
👉 Fractures
👉 Weight management

Just like us, as our pets age, they may start developing mobility issues caused by health problems such as osteoarthritis.
In these cases, physiotherapy is key, since it helps to relieve pain and discomfort, as well as restoring function and improving your pet’s overall wellbeing.
Our veterinary physiotherapists, Viv & Beth, work at our rehabilitation centre in our Portishead Practice, hydro.vet, and are passionate about helping elderly dogs with mobility issues so that they can maintain their quality of life and make the most of their later years!

A Cats Protection (Cats Protection) survey showed that over nine out of ten cat owners stated that owning a cat benefited their mental health. But cat owners truly don’t need statistics to tell them that.
Cats bring many great things into our lives, from mischief to joy and companionship. This International Cat Day, let’s celebrate cats and the special bond we have with our feline friends.

Although some dogs are natural swimmers, others will not even like wetting their paws.
If you have a water-loving furry friend at home, keep an eye out for blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) while you’re out and about.
If you see green or turquoise wispy scum in freshwater during the warm summer months, there may be blue-green algae, which can be harmful for your pet.
Here are a few ways to keep your dog safe:
👉 Keep them away from any green algae blooms
👉 Always keep them on a lead near freshwater
👉 Carry bottle of clean water and use it to wash off any scum if your dog has been in the water
We’re always a phone call away if you believe your dog had any contact with these bacteria!
What’s your dog like? If they love the water, please share photos in the comments below!
After recovering from a spay surgery, Ivy (in the photo) is definitely ready for some summer adventures with her humans.
If your summer plans with your pet include a BBQ, here are some tips to make it pet-friendly:
👉 If your dog enjoys stealing some food when no one’s looking, make sure you keep the food out of their reach, especially anything that might be harmful, such as corn on the cob, kebab skewers, alcohol and bones.
👉 Leave the rubbish bin out of reach from any curious pets, too.
👉 Make sure no pets get too near to the grill to avoid any accidental burns.
