My Labrador Savannah who is now 12 years old has had hip dysplasia since she was born, over the years it has progressively got worse, in addition she has developed arthritis in some of her limbs. My vet therefore recommended that she have some hydrotherapy treatment to help her with the chronic condition, this is when they recommended Aqua Paws, a local friendly practice.
Savannah has now been having a session every couple of weeks for the past two years, the difference this has made to her quality of life is remarkable! Savannah is now able to join in the fun and walks with our other Labrador Buddy.
Savannah loves getting into the heated pool and doing her exercises especially as there is a treat at the end of each circuit. She has been known to try and get into the pool whilst no one is looking!!!
Aqua Paws is owned and managed by the very experienced and professional Kat who is assisted by her friendly team.
The practice is located at the rear of Kat’s garden which gives a friendly, homely impression as soon as you arrive. All the equipment is state of the art and appointments are made to suit your convenience.
In addition, there is excellent communication between the vet and Aqua Paws so if Savannah’s condition changes it can be acted upon immediately.
