In all cases vet signature is required before your pet can swim.
As members of the CHA our work relies on a
veterinarians referral or consent to their patient undertaking a course of hydro.
The referral form is very straight forward, you can:

Some vets may have one in their surgery.
You can call in at the centre to pick one up.
Alternatively, if you give us a call we can send one on your behalf.

In any case where hydro is found unsuitable the owners will be informed and the treatment declined.
Any cases in which the patient has not been seen by the vet in 6 months, will be advised that they should book a check up appointment before consent can be given.
Any organ failure is not recommended to be treated with hydro and any heart murmur is referred at the veterinarians own discretion.
Any significant abnormality found during health checks will be reffered back to the vet to be further investigated.
