JimJim is a 14 year old border collie with heart problems, hip and spinal arthritis, he has been going to Cheshire Canine Hydro therapy for just over a year now. He has improved immensely since his first session, his mobility is better, and so is his breathing, he could hardly walk around the field and now he wants to potter further. I am convinced that without the Hydrotherapy, he would not be here, I can't thank Sam for her dedication and commitment to his care. What has impressed me most is the standards of cleanliness and hygiene at the centre, and the warm welcome that we always get. Jim can now also be seen as an occasional 'resident' pottering about the Groom and Room Centre, despite his advancing age nothing is too much trouble, Delia is very dedicated to all in her care. He also gets a regular smarten up - and looks forward to seeing his new friends.
The quality of service and attention to detail is just outstanding, I
would really recommend the centre to anyone who has a dog with
mobility problems. On behalf of Jim a big Thank You to all for making
his life so much better. Sue Roberts |

TempoOur eleven year old Golden Retriever, Tempo, was referred to you by our Veterinary Practice at Lymm because of osteoarthritis in all four limbs. We have visited you weekly and Tempo's mobility has visibly improved. The exercise is also helping with his weight loss programme and it is obvious that he really enjoys and looks forward to his visits to the centre. Another benefit has been the improvement in the condition of his skin, which regularly used to develop sore patches. This problem appears to have cleared up now. I would like to thank you from Tempo and our family for the excellent, professional care and friendly, accommodating service we have received at the Cheshire Canine Hydrotherapy Centre. I have no hesitation in recommending you to other pet owners and once again congratulate you on your operation. Carole Haeck (and Tempo) |

CharlieCharlie is a 9yr old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. His vet from Bond Street veterinary clinic referred him for hydrotherapy a year ago, as he was lame on his front left leg. He couldn't walk far as he would start limping quite badly. After a few weeks of hydrotherapy his leg become stronger and he also lost some extra weight he was carrying. All in all hydrotherapy has helped Charlie a great deal, I'm so grateful to his vet for referring him, and of course to Sam who does his hydrotherapy. Shell and Tammy |

DollyDolly is a 1yr old Dogue De Bordoux who came to us with a sciatic problem in her left hind. She was scraping her foot quite badly and noticeably weaker on that side. With lots of Hydrotherapy and physiotherapy the problem although not completely righted was much better and far less pronounced. Dolly thoroughly enjoys her swimming and especially loves the orange Frisbee being thrown for her to fetch. |

LottieLottie is a 1yr old Chocolate Labrador who came to us with hind limb lameness. She was unable to enjoy the usual things that young Labradors enjoy doing such as running and playing for long periods of time without being stiff and lame afterwards. After 6 weeks of hydrotherapy and controlled exercise, Lottie was no longer lame and her confidence has grown tremendously, so much that her owner struggles to keep her out of the near by stream. Lottie especially enjoys her spa sessions where she relaxes in the warm bubbles and watches the other dogs playing in the runs outside. |

LucyLucy is a 10yr old Bassett Hound who underwent spinal surgery to correct a slipped disc. Although the surgery went well she was not recovering the use of her hind limbs and had lost all strength and muscle tone. It was a slow process with intensive hydrotherapy and physiotherapy sessions 3 to 4 times a week. After 12 weeks Lucy took her first steps, wobbled and flopped down. This soon turned into a walk and then a run. She now enjoys a normal life at home and swims occasionally to maintain her strength and stability. |

MistyMisty is a 14yr old Golden Retriever who came to us recently with severe arthritis pain and inflammation. She unfortunately had a flare up which was so bad that she was unable to weight bear at all on her front leg. With the help of the electronic hoist to get her in and out of the pool where once in the warm water she was able to freely move all of her legs. We did this 3 times a week for three weeks and she is now able to slowly amble around her favourite field at home and is once again enjoying life. She swims twice a week to keep her joints mobile and she enjoys the freeness she has in the water. |

TobyToby is a 2yr old Golden retriever. He has been swimming with us for over a year now as he has hip dysplasia and must keep the muscles strong around the hip area to prevent soreness and consequent lameness. Toby is one of our strongest swimmers and no longer needs a float and quite often has the resistance jets on full power. |
