Hydrotherapy - Underwater Treadmill 

"Bramble on her weekly underwater Treadmill session"

Holding 80% of your dogs body weight, the Underwater Treadmill provides a much more controlled style of exercise / rehabilitation. The warm water which rises to your dogs shoulders provides buoyancy to support the limbs allowing  movement in a controlled manner.

The 28-30° degree water temperature ensures there is a good supply of blood to the major extremities which provides optimal results and rehabilitation, preventing a condition from deteriorating.

Our clients say it best

  • I am writing to thank you for your help regarding Milo's recovery after an unusually complex set of circumstances following total hip replacement. I am amazed at how well he is doing, his muscle mass and tone have fully recovered and his gait is fantastic. This is due in no small part to your excellent rehab work. I will have no hesitation in using your services again. –ANDY TORRINGTON

  • We brought Buster our 8 yr old Shih Tsu to Aquavets due to his bad arthritis he had become very quiet, overweight and was only walking a few yards each walk. Following ten swimming and three physio sessions, we have a happy, slim and energetic dog again. Instead of thinking we were losing him shortly we are now looking forward to a long future with our very loved family member. Thank you to Abbey Vets for referring us. Marion Davis –Marion Davis
