Your Hydrotherapy session:

Welcome to DogFit Conditioning & Performance. We’re so excited to be part of your dog’s total well-being.

Once you’ve booked your initial assessment and/or your vet has cleared your dog for hydrotherapy, you will need to prepare a few things for your dog’s first session.

​

Before attending your hydrotherapy session at the DogFit Conditioning & Performance Centre, please take note of the following:

What to do:

• Send your signed Vet referral form via e-mail or bring to your first appointment (if required);

• Brush your dog to remove loose hair & grass;

• Wash your dog if necessary to remove any dirt/mud;

• Arrive early so that your dog is on time for their Hydro session;

• Toilet your dog before the treadmill session (please clean up after your dog if you need to).

What to bring:

• Vet referral form, if required & not supplied already

• Proof of vaccination or titre test certificate (if not supplied already)

• Your dog on lead

• A towel to dry your dog off with

• Lots of great value treats (No cheese, meat, or fresh food of any type)

When your dog CANNOT have a session:

• If your dog has any of the following, we cannot proceed with your session:

  • Open wounds

  • Infectious or contagious conditions such as upset tummy, kennel cough, ear, eye, and skin infections

  • Heart condition or disease

  • Pulmonary disease

• If your dog has incontinence, please advise us before you book so that we can accommodate your dog’s needs. As there is a clean-up fee for dogs defecating in the hydro-treadmill, these sessions need to be managed carefully.
