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
  • After losing my 9 year old old English sheepdog this week to cancer I felt appropriate that I thank the wonderful staff at Aquavet for their care and expertise.

    I decided to take Missie to Aquavet after a referral from her vets after trying to maintain the pain in her arthritis. This is a condition that missie has endured even through her young years due to unnecessary docking.

    We had a session every fortnight for 3 years. The improvement was steady but certainly noticed ! Missie was not a confident dog in water but soon got to know and like the staff and dare I say even got to like her visits !

    The staff made our trips good fun , informative and run perfectly ! I would 100% recommend the treatment and Aquavet.

    Thank you Aquavet. Will miss our sessions.

  • Blue as been going to Aquavet for a long time now because he loves going. Blue started at Aquavet when he was referred by a specialist, Blue had three things wrong with him lower spine, hip and cruciate ligament. We were told this could save him having surgery and yes it worked, he is doing very well since his treadmill treatment gets around like a pup (he will be 8 next month) so now he goes because he loves it and its maintenance for him.


    We thank LISA, AARON her son and the rest of the staff. when Blue gets there he walks straight in to the treadmill sits down and waits for the water to fill, he just loves going. So thanks all at Aquavet you do a great job. Blue says see you in two weeks LISA woof woof. Keep the good work up
