💦 It’s Not Just Swimming… It’s Swimming With Purpose 💦

When your pet comes to us, they’re not just splashing around, every swim has a goal. Whether it’s building strength, easing pain, or supporting recovery, each session is tailored to your pet. 🐾💙

That’s why we ask for a referral form from your vet before starting treatment:

🐾 Your pet’s full story – Your vet knows your pet best! The form gives us important info about their health, history, and any treatments they’ve already had.

🐾 Teamwork = better care – Think of us as joining your pet’s care team. The form helps us work together with your vet to make sure your pet gets the very best.

🐾 Keeping your pet safe – Knowing things like medications, allergies, or past health issues means we can give safe and accurate treatment.

🐾 Peace of mind – A signed form means your vet supports this next step and we’re all on the same page.

So while it may seem like “just paperwork,” it’s actually the first step in making sure your pet’s swim isn’t just fun, it’s meaningful, safe, and designed to help them feel their very best. 🐶🐱✨

Because here, it’s not just swimming… it’s swimming with a purpose. 💦❤️

👉 Speak to your vet about a referral today, and let’s get you started on their journey to stronger, happier, healthier days!

🐶 🐴 APPOINTMENTS 🐴 🐶

Please note - September is filling up fairly rapidly for appointments, especially for mobile ones!

I would advise at your next appointment with me to discuss subsequent sessions to make sure I can get you in! It may also be a sticky couple of months to rejig everyone around a little to make sure I can get to you all as efficiently as possible!

I am also trying to get all the paperwork done as much as possible in between, but as always keep reminding me!

As always thank you!

🌊🐶 Swimming is great for dogs – but only when it’s safe and supervised! 🐾💦

We all love to see our pups enjoying the water, but did you know that even strong swimmers can quickly become tired or distressed? That’s why safe swimming with a qualified canine hydrotherapist is so important.

💡 Why it matters:
Dogs don’t always show clear signs of fatigue — especially when focused on a toy or ball in the water. Retrieving floating toys can push them beyond their physical limits, increasing the risk of muscle fatigue, panic, and even drowning.

🎾 The danger of toy retrieval:
When a toy keeps drifting away, your dog may push themselves too far trying to reach it. This relentless drive to fetch can mask early warning signs like laboured breathing, poor coordination, or sinking posture. Without proper supervision, things can go wrong fast.. whether this in a pool, lake or river!

✅ Here’s where a qualified hydrotherapist makes all the difference:
🧠 Trained to spot the subtle signs of overexertion and distress
🛟 Focused on your dog’s safety, technique, and endurance
🐾 Creates a controlled, calm environment for beneficial, low-impact exercise
💙 Ensures your dog swims for fitness and fun – never past their limit

Hydrotherapy isn’t just for rehab – it’s a safe, structured way to let your dog enjoy the water with professional guidance and peace of mind.

🐕💡 Is Your Dog’s Harness Helping or Hurting? Let’s Talk Fit!

Did you know that the type of harness your dog wears can make a big difference to their comfort, movement, and long-term joint health?

✅ A properly fitted Y-shaped harness allows full shoulder movement, avoids pressure on the neck, and supports natural gait — making it ideal for active dogs, growing pups, and dogs with mobility issues.

🚫 Harnesses that cross over the chest or restrict the shoulders can actually interfere with normal movement, posture, and even contribute to musculoskeletal problems over time.

Why do we use Y-shaped harnesses during hydrotherapy?
Because even in water, freedom of movement matters. A Y-shaped design helps your dog move naturally through the water without restricting their stride or causing discomfort — making their swim safer, more effective, and more comfortable.

What to look for in a good harness:
🔹 A Y-shape at the chest (no horizontal straps across the shoulders)
🔹 No rubbing or tightness behind the legs
🔹 Full freedom for the shoulders to extend and move

🐾 Not sure if your dog’s harness is the right fit? We’re happy to give advice or point you in the right direction.

🐾 How Swimming Improves Joint Mobility in Animals 🐾

Hydrotherapy isn’t just about getting wet — it’s a controlled, therapeutic tool that can significantly improve joint health in dogs and other small animals. At Alli Mason Veterinary Rehabilitation, we often use swimming to support pets with arthritis, post-surgical recovery, or mobility issues.

Here’s how it works:
💧 Buoyancy reduces the effects of gravity, allowing joints to move freely without bearing weight.
💪 Water resistance provides gentle strength training, encouraging muscle engagement while supporting joint movement.
🌡️ Warm water increases circulation and helps relax soft tissues, allowing greater flexibility and range of motion.
🔁 Repetition of low-impact movements helps maintain or increase the joint’s natural movement range without pain or overexertion.

Over time, this can lead to:
✔️ Improved comfort
✔️ Reduced stiffness
✔️ Better coordination and confidence in movement

Hydrotherapy is just one of the tools we use alongside animal physiotherapy and LASER therapy to support mobility, healing, and long-term comfort in pets.

If you’re curious whether hydrotherapy could help your pet, we’re always happy to chat — education comes first.
