Flo is now closer to 11 than to 10 years old, and with a grocery list worth of ailments. We can't help but grin at the on-going mobility of this girl.

💙 Talk to us today about how hydrotherapy can help your senior dog remain happy and functional for longer.

😲 Can you believe it? Look at them now!

🐶 We saw these girls as little cutie puppies, for controlled exercise while they grew into their big bones. This kept their growth plates and joints safe, while allowing them to build fitness and coordination.

🏆 and havent they've certainly done that growing now!

❤️ What a beautiful example of responsible breeding to promote the betterment of a breed. Its always a delight to work with Moya Rottweiler.

A big Thank You to Noah, of Noah's Bark!!

Noah's beautiful dog, Hades, is having regular hydrotherapy and is LOVING it! Noah took the opportunity to capture the fun during a recent treatment with therapist Lauren Prichard.

Providing all pets with the qualified and professional hydrotherapy they deserve.

There's few things that we love more than a good co-lab ! 🤝

Yesterday we were lucky enough to collaborate with Helen The Physio , in what is (arguably) our best performance yet.

🏊‍♀️ 🚴‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️Inspired by community, resilience, and the promise of "fun", we took on the Long Course at the Harcourts HB Women’s Tri, fundraising for the Heretaunga Women's Centre.

🏊‍♀️ 🚴‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️We had a super day, topped off by winning our category and the Amanda Meynell Memorial Cup. ❤️ Something truly special.

A big Thank You to Micky for being a super support crew, driver, coffee purchaser, water boy, and luggage mule. We really appreciate you!

Go Team Ruby!

Haha! 🧀

Seriously though, we know just how motivating this warm weather is! 😎

🐕 It can be super tempting to suddenly take the dog out for half a day at the beach or the park - but if your dog has had too much cheese this winter that might not be so nice on their soft tissues (think tendons, ligaments, and mucles).
🥵 Its probably going to be tough on their cardiovascular system too. Just like us as we emerge from winter and get active again! 🏃‍♀️

So give us a call, and lets get your best mate in tip top shape for those summer adventures! It's Spring afterall, time to get those summer bodies !

Crisp and Clean.

Ready for another week of catalysing best possible outcomes for happy and functional dogs.

(I'm sure that come tomorrow evening we will be battling muddy paw prints, and tumble weeds of dog hair left behind again!)

Hydrotherapy is not just water walking, or swimming, it's so much more. Its also the connection between the therapist and the dog.

(and in this case, the connection between the owner and the dog).
