  We go for a fun swim with our Leonberger who loves being in the water. She gets so excited as soon as she realises we are going swimming! Dan, who swims her, embraces her ‘goofiness’ and is not phased by her size and weight! Our dog absolutely adores him. The attention he pays to her movement in the water, and his knowledge of canine anatomy is second to none, and we know he will notice if anything isn’t right. All the staff are so friendly and approachable. Everywhere is spotless which is a huge thing for us. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Cheshire Canine Hydrotherapy to anybody.

  Our English bulldog Boris was nine and a half when he suffered serious spinal injuries, including a protruding disc. Given his age and the severity of the damage, we were told by the neurosurgeon that Boris' recovery would be difficult and there was very little certainty that he would regain his mobility. We were referred to Cheshire Canine Hydrotherapy Centre by Boris’s physiotherapist, and from the very first session Sam and the team were exceptional. Boris began rehabilitation using the underwater treadmill, with two members of the team supporting him throughout. They were incredibly gentle, patient and encouraging, and Boris very quickly felt safe and comfortable with them. The team were equally supportive with us. They took the time to explain every exercise, what they were looking for and how each stage was helping Boris rebuild his strength, coordination and neurological function. Their knowledge was obvious, but they explained everything in a way that was clear and reassuring. What impressed us most was the combination of genuine kindness and technical expertise. Every session was carefully considered and adapted to Boris’s progress, and any changes were always explained to us. Boris absolutely loved going. Cheshire Canine Hydrotherapy team treated him with such affection and reassurance, and we always felt completely confident that he was in knowledgeable and caring hands. Before we travelled to France for the summer, the team also generously showed us how to support Boris safely in the pool and which exercises we could continue ourselves. During our journey to France, Boris took his first independent steps again — an unforgettable milestone, and one we strongly associate with the rehabilitation and support he had received. We are hugely grateful to Sam and the whole team at Cheshire Canine Hydrotherapy Centre. We would recommend them without hesitation. Boris is now back from his summer break and will be returning for regular sessions to continue supporting his strength and mobility.

  I cannot thank the whole team (including April his physiotherapist from next door) enough for the incredible support they have given to both Bailey and myself throughout this difficult journey following his spinal injury. When Bailey first started hydrotherapy, there were times when we never imagined how much progress he would make. Watching him go from barely being able to walk to gradually building his strength month by month has been truly amazing. Every small step forward felt like a huge achievement, and the encouragement, care, and expertise of the team played a huge part in making that possible. The journey has certainly been challenging at times, but thanks to the dedication and compassion shown by everyone involved, Bailey is now walking again to the best of his ability and, most importantly, continues to enjoy life. The team have always treated Bailey with kindness, patience, and genuine care, while also providing me with much-needed support and reassurance along the way. We are so grateful for everything they have done and continue to do. Thank you for helping Bailey regain his confidence, strength, and quality of life. We will always be thankful for the difference you have made to our lives. ❤️

  We can not recommend enough, they helped at 1st Holly our Chocolate lab who had started to slow down with arthritis. But loved her water, she was so excited when she got into the carpark, then followed her many laps of the outside of the pool prior to getting in to the water Then Amber our fox red lab who we were unsure if she would enjoy it or swim, so took it easy with the treadmill first then put her into the pool which she did amazing at. We also found out things which we had know years prior we would have taken Amber sooner. They spent most of their time with Emma who they both adored and their treats We ensured as we knew in particular Holly was slowing down she got one more treat with Emma which was a lovely Christmas gift and memory. Sadly we lost both girls Holly 3 months of her turning 17 in April 25 then 6 weeks later Amber 6 days after turning 15 in the May We now have another Chocolate Lab, who we are planning on bringing to see how she is swimming. Also get her used to the pool incase it is ever required in the future Thank you all for everything you did for both the girls x

  I had a yellow Labrador called Sammie who began slowing down on her legs at around eight or nine years old. I decided to take her to Cheshire Canine Hydrotherapy. Sammie absolutely loved the water and, after just a couple of sessions, I couldn’t imagine not taking her. As she got older, her arthritis gradually worsened, but continuing hydrotherapy every couple of weeks seemed to give her a real burst of energy each time she went. When Sammie was about 12, she had a benign brain tumour removed. After her operation, she started collapsing whilst walking. Despite numerous vet appointments, they couldn’t work out what was wrong, which was very worrying at the time. Sam and April at CCHC both suggested trying laser treatment, as they thought she may have trapped nerves. The collapsing eventually stopped and Sammie made a full recovery. I continued with physiotherapy and hydrotherapy for many years, until Sammie passed away at nearly 16 years old. I genuinely don’t think she would have remained as fit, mobile and happy for as long without the hydrotherapy and physiotherapy. Older dogs especially ones with bad back legs need more support, but with the right care they can continue enjoying a happy, active and comfortable life for much longer.
