Cherrytree is on the Isle of Sheppey and has a 17' by 9' indoor heated pool, the warmth of the water providing pain relief, improving blood circulation and relaxing muscles and stiffness. The water allows for zero impact exercise to be performed which does not put pressure on painful joints and muscles.

Before each and every swim the dog is given a health check and assessed as to its suitability to swim on that day. All dogs wear a buoyancy aid and a hydrotherapist will get in with the dog if needed. Swim jets can be used for the dog to swim against to provide extra resistance if necessary. The length of the session will depend on the dogs condition, needs and ability.

A ramp is used for dogs to get in and out of the pool and the water is sanitised and tested throughout the day to ensure perfect water quality.

Cherrytree Hydrotherapy Centre is a member of the Canine Hydrotherapy Association and as members strictly adhere to stringent standards for professionalism and quality in canine hydrotherapy.

Cherrytree will work closely with your vet and to maintain high standards and ensure the best treatment insist on a veterinary referral. Your vet will pass on your dog's medical history so treatment is tailored specifically to their needs.
