In the swim

Swimming is a brilliant way to help dogs recover from injury or illness and can have major benefits for healthy pets too! Many dogs love splashing about in water, but it can be a real problem to find somewhere safe and clean to take them.

Come on in, the water's fine!

Our indoor pool is 4ft deep and heated to a warm 27C, just right for stimulating the flow of blood to the muscles. You are welcome to come into the pool suite while your dog is enjoying their swim.

Hydrotherapy is an enjoyable way for your dog to receive expert physiotherapy. Water's great for helping dogs recover from injury as it takes all the weight off their bones and lets them build up their muscle mass again.

Our pool has underwater jets to create an adjustable current to swim against, depending on your dog's level of stamina and ability. Heart and lung functions can be improved, and regular hydrotherapy sessions can also help an overweight dog to lose weight.

Health problems that hydrotherapy can benefit:

Hip and elbow dysplasia, spinal injuries and paralysis, cruciate ligament problems, arthritis, muscle wastage, dislocations, rehabilitation after surgery

Hydrotherapy is also great for:

Weight management, improving heart and lung function, improving mobility in older dogs, increasing stamina for working dogs.

Swimming and hydrotherapy are not available at mypetstop® Newcastle.
