WHY DOGS NEED MORE
Why Walks Alone Aren't Enough for Claughton-on-Brock Dogs
Weight Gain From Reduced Exercise
Dogs who can't exercise on land due to pain often gain weight, worsening their condition. Swimming breaks this destructive cycle.
Vet Says 'Rest Only'
Complete rest causes more muscle loss. Controlled hydrotherapy provides rehabilitation without risk — vets across Lancashire refer to us for exactly this.
Chronic Pain After Injury
Old injuries that never fully healed can cause ongoing pain. Hydrotherapy builds compensatory muscle and improves circulation to damaged tissues.
Expensive vet bills and medication only manage symptoms. Swimming addresses the root cause.

OUR POOL
What Is Dog Hydrotherapy?
Hydrotherapy uses the natural properties of water — buoyancy, resistance, and warmth — to provide therapeutic exercise for dogs. In our heated pool, your dog can move freely without the weight-bearing stress that land exercise creates.
Our hydrotherapy sessions regularly help dogs with arthritis, hip and elbow dysplasia, cruciate ligament injuries, IVDD, degenerative myelopathy, post-surgical recovery, and age-related stiffness. Every session is tailored to your dog's specific needs.
Accelerated Healing
Increased blood circulation from warm water promotes healing of surgical sites, injured tissues, and inflamed joints.
Vet-Recommended Facility
Veterinary practices across the region refer patients to our pool for rehabilitation, joint care, and chronic condition management.
Muscle Preservation
Dogs lose muscle mass shockingly fast during rest periods. Swimming prevents this wasting and actively rebuilds strength.

COMMON CONCERNS
Claughton-on-Brock Owners Ask — We Answer Straight
"Can I bring more than one dog from Claughton-on-Brock?"
Yes! Our Owner In Pool sessions welcome up to 4 dogs. Multi-dog households from Claughton-on-Brock love bringing all their dogs for a group swim. Same price per session regardless of dog numbers.
"Do I need to book in advance?"
We recommend booking ahead as sessions fill up, especially evenings and weekends. Call 07359 881320, fill in our form, or email us. We try to accommodate short-notice bookings when possible.
"What happens if my dog has an accident in the pool?"
It happens and it's not a problem! Our filtration system handles it quickly and we're well prepared. We ask that dogs are walked before sessions and we recommend not feeding them within 2 hours of swimming.
"What do I need to bring?"
Just your dog and a towel. If you're doing Owner In Pool, bring swimwear too. We provide life jackets, toys, and everything else needed. Free parking means you don't even need change for a meter.
How Hydrotherapy Works
Water provides 15 times more resistance than air, so your dog gets an intense workout in a short session. The buoyancy of water supports up to 90% of your dog's body weight, dramatically reducing stress on damaged joints. Meanwhile, the warm temperature (28–32°C) increases circulation, reduces pain, and promotes healing.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything You Need to Know
How far is your hydrotherapy pool from Claughton-on-Brock?
We're approximately 20 minutes by car from Claughton-on-Brock. Veterinary practices across Lancashire refer patients to our heated pool at Pompian Brow Farm, PR26 9AQ.
Can hydrotherapy help with nerve damage?
Hydrotherapy is beneficial for dogs with neurological conditions. The water provides support while encouraging natural movement patterns, which can help maintain or improve nerve function.
How quickly will I see results from hydrotherapy?
Most owners notice improved mobility and mood after just 2–3 sessions. Significant therapeutic benefits typically become clear within 4–6 weeks of regular swimming.
What conditions benefit from hydrotherapy?
Arthritis, hip dysplasia, cruciate ligament recovery, IVDD, elbow dysplasia, muscle atrophy, obesity, degenerative myelopathy, and general post-surgery rehabilitation all benefit greatly.
How soon after surgery can my dog start hydrotherapy?
Most vets recommend starting 10–14 days after suture removal, once wounds are fully healed. We always require vet clearance before starting post-surgical hydrotherapy.
Is hydrotherapy better than land-based physiotherapy?
They complement each other beautifully. Hydrotherapy provides exercise that's impossible on land for many injured or arthritic dogs — the buoyancy allows full range of motion without weight-bearing stress.
My dog can barely walk — can they still swim?
Often yes. Dogs who struggle to walk on land frequently move freely in water because buoyancy eliminates 90% of their body weight. We've helped many dogs from Claughton-on-Brock who were barely mobile on land.
