Hydrotherapy - Underwater Aquatic Treadmill 

"Bramble on her weekly underwater Treadmill session"

Bramble on weekly treadmill treatment

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 a hydrostatic pressure to the limbs which supports all 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 worsening.

Our clients say it best

  • After losing my 9 year old old English sheepdog this week to cancer I felt appropriate that I thank the wonderful staff at Aquavet for their care and expertise.

    I decided to take Missie to Aquavet after a referral from her vets after trying to maintain the pain in her arthritis. This is a condition that missie has endured even through her young years due to unnecessary docking.

    We had a session every fortnight for 3 years. The improvement was steady but certainly noticed ! Missie was not a confident dog in water but soon got to know and like the staff and dare I say even got to like her visits !

    The staff made our trips good fun , informative and run perfectly ! I would 100% recommend the treatment and Aquavet.

    Thank you Aquavet. Will miss our sessions.

  • 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
