Short FAQ.

Q: Our dog has had a cruciate operation, when can we bring him for hydrotherapy?

A: There are several types of operation that can fix a ruptured cruciate. We always wait for your vet to tell us when we can start, normally about 6 weeks post operation. Sometimes it can be as soon as three weeks, please check with your vet.

Q: Do I need a vets referral?

A: Yes, but only to let us know what is wrong with your dog in the first place, and to advise us if there are any treatments the vet wants especially for your dog. Otherwise we just need the vet to say your dog is fit enough to come swimming. It is very important that we know before you bring your dog if they suffer from heart disease, epilepsy, or diabetes.

Q: Will I be able to claim my hydrotherapy on my insurance?

A: Most insurance companies will pay for your rehabilitation at a CHA registered hydrotherapy centre. Doncaster Hydrotherapy Centre is a full member of the CHA make sure you look for the CHA logo on any centres you're looking into.

Q: What is the CHA?

A: The Canine Hydrotherapy Association is the governing body for Canine Hydrotherapy

Q: How many times will we have to come swimming?

A: We aim to have your dog back to normal within 20 swims. However there are no hard and fast rules. We have loads of customers who still swim, just because hydrotherapy is still improving the quality of life we strive for in all of our dogs.
