In 2019 we received grant funding from the Scottish Borders Leader Group to set up out hydrotherapy unit.
At our building, we have a 6×3 meter pool perfect for any kind of dog! We specialise in medical hydrotherapy for canines who are:
- Recovering from surgery
- Have ongoing medical issues like arthritis, luxating patella, hip dysplasia, etc.
When referred to Whitglen Hydrotherapy, we will assess your dog ourselves to make sure we are able to provide the best possible treatment. We will then work with your dog in the pool using special water-based exercises and stretches to help soothe sore bones/muscles or build up muscle-mass and strength after surgery.
This helps set your dog on the right track for a speedy recovery or helps ease the pain of an ongoing problem that cannot be treated another way. We also provide fitness and fun swims for dogs not referred by the vets, these involve 20 minutes of swimming with the intent to provide a new fun way to exercise and tire out your furry friend. We can provide puppy introductions from around 6 months onwards so that your puppy isn’t as anxious about their first swim and to help them gain confidence on and around water.
