# Fit Dog Hydrotherapy
Fit Dog Hydrotherapy is a specialist canine rehabilitation centre based in Garstang, near Preston, Lancashire, operating since 2002. They offer the Water Walker Dog Hydrotherapy system—a computerised underwater treadmill technology specifically designed for dogs requiring physiotherapy, rehabilitation, or fitness training.
The business serves dog owners whose pets need post-operative recovery, suffer from conditions like arthritis, hip dysplasia, or cruciate ligament injuries, or require weight management and fitness improvement. They work closely with veterinary practices across Lancashire, accepting referrals from established vets including Bay Vets, Oak Hill Vets, and Lanes Vets.
What distinguishes Fit Dog Hydrotherapy is their individualised approach and evidence-based methodology. Their Water Walker system operates at speeds from 0.5mph to 8mph with precise water depth control, allowing highly tailored treatments. Research supports their approach: warm water hydrotherapy doesn't elevate dogs' pulse rates, avoiding cardiac strain during recovery. Their two-decade track record treating numerous breeds demonstrates proven expertise.
The business particularly excels in supporting nervous animals, offering complimentary familiarisation visits to help anxious dogs acclimate before formal treatment begins. They handle everything from cruciate injuries and orthopaedic recovery to obesity management and peak fitness conditioning. Their comprehensive understanding of canine rehabilitation, combined with state-of-the-art equipment and compassionate handling, makes them a trusted referral destination for veterinary professionals across the region.
