24.01.2022 "Because of your smile, you make life more beautiful." - Thick Nhat Hanh The debonair Ari was recently diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy. Unfortunately there is no cure and dogs eventually become paralysed. A 2005 Swiss study showed those that receive intensive physiotherapy had improved quality of life and lengthened survival times. Ari visits twice a week for hydrotherapy in addition to his land based exercises. #waterwalkies #caninehydrotherapy #caninerehab #caninerehabilitation #caninefitness #dogslife #dogsofinstagram #dogsofinsta #dogstagram #doglover #dogs #degenerativemyelopathy #dogswithdm #boxer #boxersofinstagram

24.01.2022 Fun and fitness swims! Your dog does not need to have an injury to come and see us. The handsome Mac has been coming weekly to have play and burn energy. Mac's Dad joins us in the pool to add to the fun. #waterwalkies #caninehydrotherapy #caninerehabilitation #caninefitness #dogsswimming #dogslife #dogsofinstagram #dogsofinsta #dogs #dogstagram #wollongong #portkembla #cattledog #cattledogsofinstagram

22.01.2022 Apollo is a old hand at this swimming thing coming in weekly to manage his arthritis. Arcadius had his first session and was an absolute natural at it.

21.01.2022 Energetic puppy Koda came for his first swim lesson today. While he had plenty of water confidence he had no idea how to swim! Teach your puppy how to swim in a safe controlled environment. Puppies can attend two weeks after their last puppy vaccination. #waterwalkies #caninehydrotherapy #caninerehabilitation #caninefitness #dogsswimming #dogslife #dogsofinstagram #dogsofinsta #dogstagram #doglover #dogsofillawarra #dogsofwollongong #portkembla #puppy

19.01.2022 Concentration level....100% Does your companion lack water confidence? We do individual learn to swim sessions where we use what motivation tools work for each individual whether that be toys, treats, praise or sometimes Mum or Dad! Dexter is a star example of what can be achieved when you find the right motivation. ... #waterwalkies #caninehydrotherapy #caninerehabilitation #caninefitness #dogslife #dogstagram #doglover #dogswimming #dogsofinsta #dogsofinstagram #dogsofwollongong #dogsofillawarra #boxer #boxersofinstagram

18.01.2022 This gorgeous girl had a rear limb amputation at a very young age. She has been attending swimming regularly to help strengthen her rear limb in a non weight bearing environment. She continues to grow and amaze us weekly, not only in physical strength but in her confidence and mental well being. #waterwalkies #caninehydrotherapy #caninerehab #caninerehabilitation #tripawd #wollongong #illawarra #portkembla #dogpool #staffy

18.01.2022 Man on a mission! Harry had trouble walking and required spinal surgery at SASH earlier this year. He attends regular underwater treadmill sessions with us and physiotherapy with the SASH team. Now he is not only walking beautifully but also swimming laps of our pool! #waterwalkies #caninehydrotherapy #caninerehab #caninerehabilitation #doghydrotherapy #dogslife #cutedogs #whosagoodboy #dogsofinsta #doglover #dogs #dogsswimming #maltesecavalier

17.01.2022 Apollo was one of the very first swimmers at our centre. He has arthritis and mum found he sometimes became sore after his walks. He attends hydrotherapy weekly to get his exercise done in a non weight bearing environment reducing the impact on his joints. He also has a lot of fun doing it.... so do we #waterwalkies #caninehydrotherapy #caninerehab #caninerehabilitation #caninefitness #dogslife #dogsofinstagram #dogsofinsta #dogstagram #doglover #dogsofillawarra #dogsofwollongong #rottie #rottweiler

16.01.2022 This is our 13 year old Rescue Lab Lucy. She attended water walkies at Wollongong this week. This was Lucy’s first time ever. The staff were amazing and very kn...owledgeable and the Environment was calm and pleasant for both Lucy and her very nervous mums. Thank so much for for the great job you did with our Girl.

14.01.2022 At ten and a half our handsome gentleman Digger has a few ailments, not that you would know watching him racing from his car to the centre! Digger visits every week for an underwater treadmill session to build muscle and improve his mobility.

05.01.2022 We have been asked if our centre is only for rehabilitation purposes.... absolutely not. As swimming is non weight bearing it is a great cross training exercise especially for our larger companions as it reduces load on the joints while helping to build muscle and fitness. Not to mention is can be a whole lot of fun! #waterwalkies #caninehydrotherapy #caninerehabilitation #caninefitness #dogsswimming #dogslife #dogsofwollongong #dogsofillawarra #dogstagram #doglover #dogsofinstagram #dog #newfoundland #newfiesofinstagram

02.01.2022 Have a highly active or anxious dog but are short on time to exercise them? Do you know a 5 minute swim is equivalent to a 5km land run! Book in for a session with us and burn off some of that energy in a fun way in less than half an hour! #waterwalkies #caninehydrotherapy #caninefitness #dogs #dogslife #dogsswimming #dogsofwollongong #dogsofinsta #dogsofinstagram #doglover #bordercollie #activedogs
