If you feel hydrotherapy would help your dog, or indeed your vet has suggested it I will need to obtain a consent form signed by your vet, along with medical notes. To do this I will need your full name and contact details, the name, date of birth, breed and sex of your dog, and confirmation which vets you are registered with. If they have referred you onto a referral for further treatment I will need their details too. You can send this information via email on info@fidohydrofitness.com. Once I receive the information from the vets I will contact you to arrange the initial session. Please note treatment cannot commence without this signed form.
Initial Assessment Session:
During this session we will discuss your dog’s condition, medication, our terms and conditions and your requirements. We will take measurements to enable us to monitor changes throughout the course. Assess proprioception and general fitness of the dog and enable it to get used to the environment. We will then devise a treatment plan tailored to individual needs.
Subsequent sessions:
These sessions will be approximately 30 minutes. We will discuss how your dog recovered after the previous session, and how they have been since. After this discussion, and an assessment of the dog’s demeanour on the day, we may amend the treatment plan if required.
During each session the dog will be given proper rest breaks and vital signs closely monitored to ensure they are not over excersised
Clinical notes will be made after each session, which we will be sent to your vet at appropriate intervals to keep them informed of progress.
