WHY DOGS NEED MORE
The Daily Reality for Over Kellet Dogs Without Swimming
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.
Stiffness Worse in Winter
Cold Lancashire weather makes joint conditions worse. Our heated pool at 28-32°C provides consistent therapeutic warmth regardless of season.
Can't Walk Far Anymore
Dogs in Over Kellet who can't manage long walks can still exercise fully in our pool. Water supports 90% of their body weight.
Expensive vet bills and medication only manage symptoms. Swimming addresses the root cause.

SERVING OVER KELLET, LANCASHIRE
Therapeutic Swimming — Why Over Kellet 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 Over Kellet or anywhere in Lancashire.
Progress Tracking
We monitor your dog's improvement at every session and can share detailed progress notes with your vet.
Accelerated Healing
Increased blood circulation from warm water promotes healing of surgical sites, injured tissues, and inflamed joints.
Safe, Controlled Environment
No uneven ground, no sudden movements, no risk of slipping — just controlled, beneficial exercise in warm water.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Over Kellet Owners Ask — We Answer Straight
"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.
"Can I bring more than one dog from Over Kellet?"
Yes! Our Owner In Pool sessions welcome up to 4 dogs. Multi-dog households from Over Kellet love bringing all their dogs for a group swim. Same price per session regardless of dog numbers.
"Is the pool big enough for large breeds?"
Absolutely. We welcome everything from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. The pool has adjustable depths and ample space for even the largest breeds to swim comfortably.
"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.
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.
WHAT DOG OWNERS SAY

Emma R.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Practical Answers for Over Kellet Dog Owners
Is hydrotherapy covered by pet insurance?
Some pet insurance policies cover hydrotherapy when referred by a vet. Check with your insurer — we can provide session records and progress reports to support claims.
Is hydrotherapy painful for dogs with arthritis?
The opposite. Warm water at 28–32°C eases stiff joints; buoyancy removes the impact that hurts on land. Most arthritic dogs from Over Kellet relax visibly once in the pool.
Do I need a vet referral for hydrotherapy?
While we welcome all dogs, we recommend consulting your vet first if your dog has a specific medical condition. Many vets in Lancashire actively refer to us and we're happy to liaise with them.
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.
Can hydrotherapy reduce my dog's medication?
Many dog owners across Lancashire report that regular hydrotherapy allows their vet to reduce pain medication dosages. Always consult your vet before making medication changes.
What should I tell my vet about your hydrotherapy?
Let them know we have a purpose-built heated indoor pool at 28–32°C with ramp entry. We offer Swim Coach sessions with trained supervision. We're happy to receive referral notes and provide progress updates.
Do you track progress for hydrotherapy patients?
Yes — we monitor range of motion, endurance, swimming ability, and overall comfort at each session. We're happy to share progress notes with your vet in Over Kellet or anywhere in Lancashire.
