hydrotherapy
what is hydrotherapy?

what do you offer?
All dogs have their own programme tailored to their individual needs, which will be adapted throughout their sessions.
We also do puppy introduction swims which allows them to be slowly introduce to water in a positive safe environment.
Puppies can swim as soon as they are fully vaccinated and are allowed to be socialised with other dogs.
