JS Canine Hydrotherapy

I came to James with my 12-year-old labrador cross and 10-year-old Springer cross. They both struggle with arthritis. I no longer allow them to swim in rivers as they overdo things or can't get out. With James they get to do the swimming they always loved in a safe and controlled environment. They have the benefit of flotation vests to stabilise them in the water, an expert eye on the action of their limbs and individual attention to mobilise the stiffer joints and weaker muscles. They love it and I can see the benefits.

This was a fantastic treatment for our labrador Cassie who was beginning to experience some arthritus but is still going strong at 12 years of age and who benefitted enormously from her treatment with James.

We took our water loving but swimming fearful puppy to James to teach her how to swim but we wanted to getinto the water with her to help encourage her in which James was very open to. After only two sessions with James she was swimming on her own without the floatations wings! She is still reluctant to swim despite loving water (she is a very cautious pup) but at least we know she can swim now and it's all thanks to the fabulous James! He was so gentle and caring with our pup and understood that she needed time to get over her fears. James is a fantastic instructor and I cannot recommend him highly enough! Also the pool is great as are its facilities for drying off afterwards. Do yourself a favour & book a session with James - you won't regret it!

My dog Alfie has been doing hydrotherapy with James for 2 and a bit years now. He is 15 and a half years old and still going strong. The hydrotherapy is the thing that has definitely kept Alfie going. James is so caring to Alfie, goes at his pace and doesn't rush him at all. We always have a laugh at the sessions, they're so enjoyable. I love seeing my dog just have such an amazing time and knowing there are so many benefits to it. Couldn't recommend enough!!

My springer Rob had cruciate ligament surgery 18 months ago and after weekly sessions with James he is now back up and running perfectly. He absolutely loves his sessions and I cannot recommend James highly enough. We will continue with a maintenance programme now as he loves it so much and to ensure he stays fit and healthy.
