• Staff have undergone First Aid training in accordance with the CHA regulations – Refreshers taken every two years
• Water quality is monitored daily – pool kept at human standards
• Dogs will be referred back to their vet if condition worsens or if any abnormalities are noted during sessions – this is for your dogs benefit
• Dogs with open wounds will not be swum, same for dogs with stitches unless under specific veterinary request
• We will not subject a dog to hydrotherapy if it is suffering from upset stomach
• All dogs receive hydrotherapy in a controlled environment not left to their own devices – we do not tie up dogs and leave them to it
• We do not do one off swims for ‘a bit of a treat’, but will do maintenance swims if requested
• The dogs welfare always comes before the owners desires – we will not over exert any animal at any time
• We always ask for a referral from your vet - either written or verbal. This is because it is an offence for any person, other than the owner of the animal, to treat an animal unless the permission of the vet in charge of the case or to whom the animal would be referred is sought and obtained.
