A fabulous team, very knowledgeable and supportive. I feel very grateful for the guidance I received from Jasmin and Emmy, to help extend our cockers life and manage his arthritis. Highly recommended.
Fantastic company, have met with Graham and his team, everything they know about Dog rehabilitation and customer service is amazing. Can really tell they know what they are talking about.Continuously improving the centre giving great value for money.
My name is Alfie. I am a rescue dog and was diagnosed with hip dysplasia and degenerative joint disease when I was 2 years old. I am a mixed breed of Border Collie/Labrador/Great Dane/German Shepherd! Yep, quite a mixture, but my adopted hoomans tell me all the time that my behaviour is that of a Border Collie, in that I have endless energy and am ball obsessed! I have been going to Splash Paws since April to have hydrotherapy and massage. My main hyrotherapist is my lovely Auntie Emmy, who regularly adapts my treatment plan according to how I am in myself and whether I am sore or tender etc. Despite being a bit wary to begin with, I now actually enjoy my hydrotherapy and this is mainly to do with the patience of my Auntie Emmy who has taken the time to find out all about me as unfortunately I did not have the best start in life. All the staff at Splash Paws have only the best interests of the dogs that they treat and care for and nothing is too much bother for them. They are full of general advice and tips as well to keep us pooches in top tip condition. I have asked my hoomans, Jackie and Bill to help me write this as I want other dogs to know that Splash Paws can really help with any issues that may be causing them pain, stress or discomfort.
We took Harley, one of our rescued goldens to Splash Paws shortly after we adopted him as he had hip displacea and arthritis at the age of 4.Harley responded really well to hydrotherapy, the hip muscles on his rear right gaining strength and eventually matched his left leg.He continued attending Splash for about 7 years, and led a full and happy life until he died from a tumour just before his 14th birthday.About 15 months ago, his kennel mate developed arthritis at the ago of 10, so from our previous experience, we decided that hydrotherapy and laser treatment would be the best way of keeping Jess as comfortable as possible for her final years.We cannot fault the care and attention that both dogs have received form the staff at Splash Paws.
We have been bringing our Large breed dog, Winnie, for weekly Hydrotherapy and Physiotherapy for over a year now. Winnie is 2 years old, and due to a rough start in life has Hip Dysplasia and a selection of other joint/limb issues which causes her rear legs to become weak.Thanks to her treatments, she is not currently on any pain relief, and her x rays show she does not require surgery at this time.We cannot thank the team enough, Graham goes above and beyond to ensure Winnie is getting the most out of her sessions. Rhiannon has treated Winnie from the beginning, and built a very strong bond with her, and Winnie cannot wait to get in for her Physio! Jazz has taken over recently, and worked incredibly hard to gain Winnie's trust as she can be very difficult and stubborn, but she has won her over and Winnie is continuing to enjoy her sessions, building muscle and strengthening her joints.Thank you, Team Splash Paws!
Our black Labrador Poppy has been coming to Splash Paws since she was 7 months old. She has bilateral hip dysplasia that resulted in limping and hopping, uncomfortable walks, and Poppy being in a lot of pain. Since starting hydrotherapy, Poppy has come off her pain medication, is able to go on longer walks, and is much more comfortable moving around. The team at Splash Paws have been amazing, offering tips to try at home, and giving Poppy so much care. Graham was also able to give us great advice to help with other challenging behaviours, and Poppy is now a much calmer dog!
We have been taking our Leonberger to Splash Paws for Hydro Therapy for approximately 9 months. We have always found the team friendly, professional and above all effective. We have been especially impressed with their new premises which have been well planned and offer an even better experience for the dog owner as well as their pet. Our Leonberger actually gets excited with the prospect of her weekly visit. We'll done to Graham, Julie & their team. We thoroughly recommended Splash Paws.
We have recently started bringing our dog in for hydrotherapy whilst he is recovering from IVDD surgery. The team at splash paws have been amazing from the moment I first contacted them to enquire about sessions, all the way through to the hydro itself. The service received from the ladies at hydro has been amazing, they are so friendly, caring towards our dog, explaining everything to us and giving specific aftercare for our dog to help aid his recovery from surgery.
I've been coming here with my 2 Anatolian Rescues for coming up 3 years now. One has hip dysplasia and the other severe arthritis in all joints upon x-ray. Hydro combined with diet, medication has been a game changer for my girls. From only 40% mobility in their limbs, walking stiff legged and unable to jog. Now with almost full range of motion, seeing my girls run around the house, have the energy to play fight and tug-o-war with me is heart warming. The team, old and new are fantastic and Graham knows his stuff. Cannot recommend enough!
The entire team at Splash are brilliant. They are all so caring and fabulous at what they do. With state of the art equipment, they are also leading the way in canine therapy. I wouldn’t trust anyone to care for Casper (my mini Dachshund) who is recovering from a challenging spinal injury.Team Splash come highly recommended.
What a great place to take your dogs to if you want to make sure they are well looked after. We tried a few other centres for hydro for our dogs, and sadly, not all therapists have a passion for doing the job. At Splash Paws, you can tell that everyone loves what they do. They are incredibly friendly and caring for the dogs. They ensure the dogs are properly checked and measured before the first session and regularly check the progress. They take time building dogs' strength, making sure they are ready before they are taken to the next level. Definitely recommended 100%. ..and did I mention a free good quality coffee for all the customers?! Couldn't get any better! 🙂
A fantastic and caring practice , very professional and knowledgeable who have cared for our French bulldog with his back injury . I highly recommend Slash Paws Darren & Tracy Scott
Splash Paws is truly extraordinary! We've been bringing our French bulldog, Ralph, here for as long as I can recall. Despite the 45-minute drive each way, it's absolutely worth it! Without the incredible Splash Paws team, Ralph wouldn't be able to indulge in his favourite activity, walkies! People often ask me why we continue to choose Splash Paws, and the answer is simple—it works and the staff are amazing! Their dedication, care, and passion shine through. It feels like being part of a family. I wholeheartedly recommend Splash Paws to anyone in need of hydrotherapy for their pet.Thank you 🥰
We were recommended to Splash Paws by our vet after our Doberman had surgery on his ACL, he had been at the Supervets for 3 months with Noel Fitzpatricks team. Who warned us not only could he not have the surgery repeated on the injured leg ( now held together by plates & screws) he had a 60% chance of his other rear leg needing the same surgery.Not only did Splash Paws rebuild his wasted muscles, now nearly 5 yrs on, he is solid on both back legs without pain or problems. He is treated at Splash Paws once a week with both hydrotherapy and laser.We are certain without Splash Paws our big soft boy, would be in pain and unable to enjoy his life to the fullest.The care and attention that is given to each animal is phenomenal. The new facilities are state of the art and amazing. Highly recommended by our entire family!
We’ve been taking our German Shepherd to Splash Paws for regular hydrotherapy sessions for many years. Graham, Julie and team are amazing, super professional and caring. They’ve kept our Shepherd in great shape! Recently we’ve also started hydro sessions with our elderly Lab and have noticed a huge difference in her mobility and fitness. Love the new premises too, very impressive. Highly recommend!
