DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?
Hidden Limits of Exercise for Wrea Green Dogs
Compensation Injuries Developing
Dogs favouring one leg overload others, creating new problems. Swimming works all four limbs equally, preventing secondary damage.
Nerve Function Declining
Dogs with neurological conditions like degenerative myelopathy need controlled exercise to maintain nerve pathways. Swimming provides this safely.
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.

SERVING WREA GREEN, LANCASHIRE
Working Alongside Your Wrea Green Vet
When you book a hydrotherapy session, we ask for the briefest possible vet note — diagnosis, restrictions, and any post-operative timelines. We then design sessions that complement, never contradict, your vet's plan.
We're happy to send progress updates back to your practice in Wrea Green or anywhere in Lancashire. Many Lancashire vets use those notes to inform medication reviews and next-stage rehabilitation decisions.
One-to-One Supervision
Our Swim Coach sessions provide dedicated in-water guidance, ensuring every movement benefits your dog's specific condition.
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.

WHY DOG OWNERS VISIT US
What Wrea Green Dog Owners Come to Us For
Cruciate Ligament Recovery
After TPLO or TTA surgery, swimming rebuilds muscle mass faster than any other exercise — with zero joint loading.
Arthritis Pain Management
Warm water at 28–32°C provides natural pain relief while building the muscles that protect damaged joints.
Weight-Related Joint Relief
Overweight dogs with joint problems get a double benefit — weight loss exercise that simultaneously relieves joint strain.
Senior Dog Comfort
Age-related stiffness and muscle loss respond remarkably well to warm-water swimming. Many senior dogs act years younger.
Nerve Damage Rehabilitation
Dogs with neurological conditions maintain and improve function through the controlled, supportive environment water provides.
The Closest Therapeutic Pool to Wrea Green

YOUR QUESTIONS
Before You Visit — Your Questions Answered
"Is swimming tiring for dogs?"
Very! 30 minutes of swimming is equivalent to about 90 minutes of walking in terms of energy expenditure. Most dogs sleep soundly on the drive home to Wrea Green and are calm all evening.
"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.
"My dog's condition is severe — can you still help?"
We've helped dogs with severe arthritis, major surgery recovery, spinal conditions, and significant mobility limitations. The beauty of water is that even severely affected dogs can often move freely in our pool.
"Can I get in the pool with my dog?"
Yes! Our Owner In Pool sessions let you swim alongside your dog. It's a bonding experience like no other. We provide everything you need — just bring your swimwear and a towel.
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
Common Questions From Wrea Green Owners
How does warm water help with joint conditions?
Warm water increases blood flow to joints, reducing inflammation and pain. Buoyancy supports 90% of body weight, allowing pain-free movement. Resistance builds the muscles that stabilise damaged joints.
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.
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.
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 Wrea Green or anywhere in Lancashire.
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.
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.
