IS YOUR DOG STRUGGLING?
Sound Familiar? Heath Charnock Dogs Deserve Better
Chronic Pain After Injury
Old injuries that never fully healed can cause ongoing pain. Hydrotherapy builds compensatory muscle and improves circulation to damaged tissues.
Reluctance to Play
When a dog who used to play stops wanting to, pain is usually the cause. Hydrotherapy can restore the comfort that allows playfulness to return.
Quality of Life Declining
Watching your dog slow down is heartbreaking. Warm-water therapy can turn back the clock, giving them renewed energy and mobility.
Expensive vet bills and medication only manage symptoms. Swimming addresses the root cause.

FOR HEATH CHARNOCK DOGS
Therapeutic Swimming — Why Heath Charnock Vets Recommend Us
Our pool temperature of 28–32°C is maintained specifically for therapeutic benefit. This warmth dilates blood vessels, increases blood flow to damaged tissues, relaxes muscle tension, and provides natural pain relief — all before your dog even starts swimming.
We work alongside veterinary practices to ensure every hydrotherapy session complements your dog's treatment plan. We're happy to receive referral notes, follow post-operative instructions, and provide progress updates to your vet in Heath Charnock or anywhere in Lancashire.
Suitable for All Conditions
Arthritis, hip dysplasia, IVDD, cruciate repair, obesity, nerve damage — our pool helps with a wide range of conditions.
Safe, Controlled Environment
No uneven ground, no sudden movements, no risk of slipping — just controlled, beneficial exercise in warm water.
Vet-Recommended Facility
Veterinary practices across the region refer patients to our pool for rehabilitation, joint care, and chronic condition management.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Common Questions From Heath Charnock
"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.
"Can my dog swim if they're on medication?"
Usually yes — but always mention any medication when booking. Some medications may need timing adjustments around swimming. We'll check with you and advise accordingly.
"Is this proper hydrotherapy?"
Our heated pool at 28-32°C provides genuine hydrotherapy conditions — therapeutic water temperature, controlled environment, and the option of coached sessions. Many Lancashire vets refer patients to us specifically.
"How do I know which session type is right?"
Owner In Pool if you want to swim with your dog. Group Classes for social, confident dogs. Swim Coach for nervous dogs, rehabilitation, or therapeutic sessions. Weighty Woofers for weight management. We're happy to recommend — just ask.
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.
