Our springador Pepper has been swimming at Five Valleys for nearly 3 years, following cruciate ligament surgery and being diagnosed with elbow dysplasia before the age of 2. Each session is tailored to give her the greatest benefit depending on how well she is at the time, sometimes less swimming and more massage. She is always clearly more comfortable at the end of each session. Pepper is always eager to get into the pool, she loves to see Vicky and the other girls. Nothing is too much trouble for them, and we value their opinions and advice.
We started taking Cobain our Staffy to Five Valleys Canine Hydrotherapy after he was diagnosed with the early onset arthritis in the hock. At the time we were nervous, as he hates swimming, but the amazing girls made him feel at ease, and now 2 years later he’s dragging us to the door each week! Our vet has done nothing but compliment the muscle build in the area, which has aided in the support of his legs no end. We cannot recommend the girls and the treatment highly enough.

I have been taking my Border Terrier Roxy to Five Valleys Canine Hydrotherapy since 2015 due to Luxating Patella surgery and now Arthritis. They have helped rebuild my dog’s muscles and giving her the confidence to enjoy everyday life and not to be in pain. Not everyone is aware of how life changing such invasive surgery can be for dogs and their owners. Roxy and I am forever grateful to Vicky and Olivia for being such a big part of her life now. Thank you! x

I have no hesitation in recommending Five Valleys Canine Hydrotherapy Centre. I started taking my youngster for fun and fitness in 2017, as she was very weak in the water and thought it would be good for her fitness and core strength. We do agility, and this definitely helps to keep her in great shape, as well as qualified eyes spotting whether she is showing any signs of injury and weakness whilst swimming. I have since also started taking my 13 year old Labrador and it’s literally given her a new lease of life, as well as helping to improve her strength in her back legs. Vicky and the team are simply fantastic and I wouldn’t trust my girls with anyone else.

I can not recommend Vicky and her team enough - we’ve been taking Oakley, our 13 ½ year black Lab, on a fortnightly basis for the last 8 months and it’s done wonders for him. He has arthritis and had become very stiff. Not only do they help with improving your dogs movements, they also give you advise on anything you can do at home to help. These girls are truly dog lovers and this is very apparent in the care they give!
Lola has been going to Hydro for nearly 3 years now. I will always remember the time I was ringing around places and how Five Valleys stood out to me, because of how friendly they were and understood my worries and concerns. Lola absolutely LOVES seeing Vicky and the girls, they are like family to us and it’s helped with her issues so much, she doesn’t seem in pain anymore and moves more freely. We wouldn’t choose anywhere else! Highly recommend.
I currently take my 7 year old Labrador to Five Valleys Hydrotherapy. He has had both his cruciate ligaments operated on and he so looks forward to his Wednesday morning swim. The staff all work very professionally but also treat your dog as if it was their own and happy to give you any advice required. JD is my 3rd dog I have taken here and would highly recommend to anyone thinking of trying it.

I can't recommend Five Valleys Hydrotherapy enough! I've told all my friends about this amazing place! I'm an owner of a senior Labrador who has been going nearly 2 years now. He's 12 this year yet can still go on very long adventures, playing and enjoying life, I believe this is down to hydro! Not only this, but he absolutely loves it! He shakes and cries with excitement before going into the pool and the ladies are all very knowledgeable and lovely and so caring! Wish we had discovered this years ago!
