About us
South West K9 Hydrotherapy Centre was established in 2015 and has become a leading centre in the South West providing excellent rehabilitation services to dogs and other small animals. We pride ourselves on being knowledgeable, professional and caring. Your pet will only ever be in the pool with one of our qualified hydrotherapists to ensure the utmost care and correct plan is followed.
The centre, set in the countryside location of Castle Combe, boasts a heated pool complete with water jets, ramp and resting area.
Get in touch with us to learn to benefits of using a pool over a treadmill, in most cases the pool will be more beneficial. If we assess your pet as being more suitable for the treadmill we can refer you to a practice we work closely with!
We have excellent links with many veterinary practices across the South West and work closely together to achieve the best possible outcome for your pet.
Important:
All animals must have a referral form before treatment can begin. Please get in touch with your pets details for us to speak to the vet on your behalf (for free!)
