Health Check-
We perform a head to tail health check to make sure your pet is fit enough to swim.
Also ask about their health over the past week (and check they've been to the loo.)
Assesment-
During an assesment we take measurments and ask a few questions about your pet,
these include-
Muscle mass measurements
Assesment of joint movement
Gait analysis
Pain and Reflex checks
Lifestyle questions about things like Diet, Exercise
and Home Enviroment.
We then have a chat with you about the aims of treatment and decide
how we are going to help you reach them.
We use the first three sessions to gauge how effectively we can treat your dog.
Pre session Shower & Harness-
This washes off any dirt and debris and can help to warm up the muscles.
We will then fit your pet with either a harness or a buoyancy aid to help us provide
support and keep them safe.
The swimming-
Either in the Hydro pool or the Aquatic treadmill. Depending on veterinary preference, treating
condition and our assesments of individual patients.
Post session Shower & Dry off-
To relax muscles after exercising and help remove any chemical residue from your pets coat.
We use either dryers or towels depending on your dogs tolerance of the process.
