Hound House Hydro is a specialist canine hydrotherapy and rehabilitation centre providing both hydrotherapy pool and underwater treadmill services. All hydrotherapy and rehabilitation sessions are carried out by a qualified and registered hydrotherapist, ensuring your dog receives safe, professional and individualised care.

​

Our facilities include a large bespoke canine hydrotherapy pool measuring 7.5 metres x 3 metres, alongside a state-of-the-art underwater treadmill. Each modality offers unique benefits and can be used independently or as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation programme tailored to your dog's individual needs.

​

The hydrotherapy pool incorporates two anti-swim jets which can be used to provide additional resistance where appropriate. This can be particularly beneficial for conditioning, strengthening and athletic development in sporting, working and active dogs.

​

The underwater treadmill allows precise control of water depth, speed and duration, making it an invaluable tool for rehabilitation following injury or surgery, neurological rehabilitation, gait retraining, weight management and improving mobility in dogs with orthopaedic or age-related conditions.

​

We also utilise underwater video analysis, allowing detailed assessment of movement and gait patterns. Footage can be recorded and shared where appropriate with veterinary surgeons, specialists and other members of the multidisciplinary team involved in your dog's care.

​

Our premises have been designed with both dogs and owners in mind and are well equipped to accommodate nervous, reactive and fearful dogs. We aim to provide a calm, safe and positive experience for every visitor. The centre is fully air-conditioned, helping maintain a comfortable and controlled environment throughout the year.
