Shower & Drying Room

All dogs are showered prior to entering the pool. This ensures that the quality of our water remains high as well as warming your dog up before any exercise or treatment. Our shower facilities are floor level allowing easy access for all dogs regardless of mobility.

The pool water contains low levels of chlorine in it as antibacterial protection, despite these low levels we also shower the dogs after each session to remove the pool water. All sessions include a shampoo and fragrance spray following their session to leave them smelling fresh. If your dog has medicated shampoo you are more than welcome to bring it along to their session. 

Dogs are dried with "Aquamats" which absorb water from their coats and towel dry. We then use a blaster dryer, this has variable speeds to suit all dogs. It is important that the dog is not left wet as the cold and damp can cause further stiffness, especially during the colder months. During the colder months is is a good idea to bring a towelling coat to prevent them from getting cold.

Our clients say it best
  • I was recommended to go along to Aquavets by my vets after my 11 year old dog Asta was diagnosed with lumba spondylosis. She has had several weekly sessions in the hydro pool and we have seen a great improvement with her movement and she is in a lot less pain.

    The staff are helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I have also used the physiotherapist at the unit and she has been very good with Asta, we have treatments every two weeks and have been shown threatments that we can do ourselves at home. Again this treatment has really helped Asta with her movement and pain.

    I would highly recommend Aquavets and all their treatments. If it was not for their work Asta would have had to have an operation. They are very friendly and make everyone feel so welcome. –Deborah Baggaley

  • I am writing to thank you for your help regarding Milo's recovery after an unusually complex set of circumstances following total hip replacement. I am amazed at how well he is doing, his muscle mass and tone have fully recovered and his gait is fantastic. This is due in no small part to your excellent rehab work. I will have no hesitation in using your services again. –Andy Torrington
