What to expect from a hydrotherapy session?
Before the Session:
You and your dog(s) will be welcomed into the centre and plenty of time is given so your dog has time to settle. On the first session a short introduction about how Hydro Hounds Operates will be given.
The canine hydrotherapist will check your dog’s veterinary referral form and will talk to you about your concerns, questions and goals for hydrotherapy. She will then give your dog a health check before being fitted with a buoyancy aid or harness.
Your dog will be encouraged into the pool via our ramp, to swim for short bursts with rest breaks on the pool platform.
After The Session:
The hydrotherapist will shower your dog, shampoo if required and dry your dog using towels and a blow dryer if your dog is comfortable with one.
