Bobby 🐾🌈 has sadly gone over the Bridge to join so many of our much loved and missed LCH dogs. Bobby was the loveliest boy, and had been having sessions for just under a year to help manage age related challenges including osteoarthritis. He also had laser and physiotherapy - giving him all of the support he needed as he got older. Such a special little dog, he leaves behind his sister Lucy who will be a welcome distraction for their lovely owner 🌈🐾

Our wonderful CEO has had a tough week (and I'll be honest, so have I). So the amazing Jo from JW Physiotherapy came over specially to see him this morning and did him some laser, gentle massage (he doesn't have much muscle anymore) and some T Touch therapy 🐾💙

As you can see he was very relaxed during his session - thank you Jo 🥰🐾💙

Graduation Day 🎓 for Rolo 🐾💙 Rolo has made a remarkable recovery from spinal surgery and today he has been signed off. It has been a tough 12 months for his lovely family and I've been privileged to have treated Rolo throughout this - thank you so much for the card and beautiful flowers 💐 And also for the chocolates for Emma and Amy - so very kind and thoughtful 🐾💙

After some confusion today I would like to clarify my cancellation policy. I ask for 24 hours notice to cancel or change an appointment otherwise the session is payable. I think this is reasonable. However IF you contact me 90 mins before your appointment time to advise me that your dog is unwell and ask if you should bring him/her to their session I am very likely to say no. Why?

1) I am not a vet, I have no idea what is wrong with your dog so cannot possibly advise other than to cancel.

2) I have a duty of care to your dog (first and absolutely foremost) so will advise in their best interest and wellbeing.

3) If whatever is wrong with your dog is contagious I also have a duty of care to other dogs that I treat.

IF I ADVISE YOU NOT TO ATTEND THIS DOES NOT CONSTRUE AS ME CANCELLING YOUR DOGS SESSION

Less than 24 hours notice will mean the session is payable. Whether you cancel or I advise not to attend. Again why?

1) If every dog who is unwell doesn't pay for their session I will never actually get paid for my time so my business will close.

2) If I went ahead with your session as I didn't want to lose money this puts your dog at risk and is against my professional ethics.

3) I am a small business and I have to protect my income.

IF this is something you are uncomfortable with or you don't agree with let's have a chat. There will always be times when I use my discretion regarding cancellation charges but that is up to me.

I am fair, I am kind but I have to be paid for my time.

Now if of course I have to cancel your session because I am unable to work that day - then you will not be charged and your session will be rearranged. I have a 16 year old dog and this may happen due to my responsibility to him. My own dog will always be my priority. Again if you think this is unreasonable let's have a chat.

My T&C's are clearly detailed on my website and every client is given a copy at their assessment.

Thank you, Jen 💙🐾

Alan 🐾💙 I never thought we would get another labrador called Alan joining team but here he is!

Alan is a beautiful 9 year old fox red and he has been diagnosed with osteoarthritis in his elbows, with his right being the worst 🐾

He was a little bit nervous at his first visit, but session number 2 saw him bounding onto to the treadmill ready for his snacky snacks 🐾

Patience, care and a calm environment is often all it takes to turn a worried dog into a happy and confident one - and that's before the benefits of hydrotherapy start to kick in! I look forward to helping Alan to be more comfortable on his walks 🐾💙

Happy Mothers Day to all of the dog mums 💙❤️🐾

Hope you got spoiled by your woofles - Oliver got me a card, some flowers and some pistachio lindor. He's a clever boy - I'm just hoping he didn't expense it on the business, he is the CEO 🤣🤣🤣

EASTER RAFFLE 🐣🧡🐰🐑💚🐣🐰💛🐑 Personally I prefer Easter to Christmas - nights getting lighter, weather improving, lots of chocolate and a 4 day weekend 🥳

Freddie Cockerpoo's lovely owner has generously gifted some vouchers for Hollingworth Lake Water Sports Centre and I have also put together a goody box of Easter treats which I am going to be raffling off with all monies going to Bleakholt Animal Sanctuary 🐾💙

£1 per entry, unlimited entries and of course our CEO will be drawing the winner just before we break for Easter on Thursday 2nd April. If you would like a ticket please purchase at your next session (cash preferred for tickets please) or message me and I can put aside for you and you can either do a bank transfer or drop the cash into the Centre 💰

Thank you, Jen 🐾💙

Sticking determinedly with my every other Wednesday off to spend time with Oliver 🐾❤️ Very hard when I am so busy and the business guilt kicks in, but that's balanced out by the dog mum guilt when I'm at work 🤣🤣

Lovely, sunny but very windy trip to Lytham with our CEO - his ears nearly got blown off 🐶

And of course our favourite cafe for brunch .p.e.x.s.o.c.i.a.l and of course a sausage for Oliver 🐾❤️

Back in the Centre tomorrow 🐾💙

💩💩💩 There have been quite a few accidents in the Centre in the past few weeks - including a "code brown" which is a 💩 in the treadmill!!!

This causes a massive inconvenience to me (cleaning, time, chemicals) and also to other customers (if I have to cancel or I then run late). The affected water cannot be put back into the tank, it must be dumped. This then doesn't leave enough water for me to carry on working. Topping up with cold water then lowers the temperature, again meaning I can't carry on treating 🐾

Cancelling sessions puts a strain on an already full diary as I simply have no space to rearrange. If this happens you will be charged for the cleaning and time lost (as per my T&C's) 🗓

Please, please arrive with enough time to walk your dog around. I have provided a poo bin and now also bags. Your dog will often want a nervous or excited 💩 before they come in 🐾

There are alot of canine gastro bugs 🐛 going around currently so I am having to be so careful with cleaning and every time your dog toilets on my floor this needs to be disinfected for the safety of other dogs and of course our elderly CEO! 🐾

Thank you, Jen 🐾💙

Mabel ❤️🐾 Shared with the consent of her wonderful owners, I'm afraid this is a very tough one to write. Mabel is a 3 year old labrador who should have her whole life ahead of her - but sadly Mabel has been diagnosed with osteosarcoma 🐾

Osteosarcoma is an aggressive bone cancer and there is no cure. Mabel is undergoing treatment which is palliative and she will be kept comfortable until this is no longer possible. Hydrotherapy is not going to treat her condition, but it will provide a safe environment for Mabel to get some mental stimulation as she is unable to do anything strenuous exercise wise. There is no risk to the safety of my water as Mabel is not having chemotherapy 🐾

This is a complicated case and any negative comments will be removed. This is to highlight that young dogs can mask symptoms and simply get on with life - Mabels owners knew something was wrong and have followed their instinct to get her diagnosed and cared for, and I will support her and them for as long as needed. Mabel is a beautiful girl, a real ray of sunshine🐾☀️

Bourbon 💙🐾 Are you ready for this gorgeous little chap? Bourbon is an 8 month old cockerpoo, a warm chocolate brown colour with all 4 feet that look like they have been dipped in caramel (as do his eyebrows and snoot!) 🐾

Sadly Bourbon has early onset Legg Calves Perthes disease in his left hip. This is a condition where the bloody supply to the femoral head is affected, causing it to 'die' and eventually fragment and break 🐾

The cause is unknown but the condition can be hereditary and occurs in dogs of around 4-6 months old. Bourbon is due to have a hip replacement however pre-operative hydrotherapy has been requested by the specialist vet to build up muscle tone around the hips to put him in the best possible position for surgery. This will also give time for Bourbon to finish growing and his growth plates to close 💙🐾

Rafa 💙🐾 A very handsome 12 and a half year old Border Collie - Rafa is beginning to struggle with his mobility due to osteoarthritis in his elbows 🐾

Rafa has always been a very fit, healthy and active boy so his owner has turned to hydrotherapy as part of a multi modal approach so see if this will help him regain comfort and strength in movement 🐾

The warm water and buoyancy will help to reduce inflammation and encourage an increased range of motion through him limbs, and in turn should improve muscle tone. Rafa is a lovely boy and I look forward to seeing how hydrotherapy will help him 💙🐾
