Two forms of activity with close planning
Supported water movement
A 20-minute session provides exercise with less load through the joints.
Compatible walking groups
We consider energy and social habits before choosing walking companions.
Return travel included
The Wednesday water routine includes planned collection and return.
Low-impact activity with planned transport
We collect suitable dogs from Fishburn for a Wednesday 3pm appointment at the canine therapy facility. Each dog receives 20 minutes of supported water exercise before the return journey, usually arriving back at approximately 5pm to 5.30pm. Water can reduce joint loading while encouraging controlled movement and muscle use.
Before arranging the session, we ask about swimming experience, water confidence, mobility and health history. Please share veterinary guidance where your dog has an injury, medical condition or recovery plan.
Group walking for compatible companions
Dogs in Fishburn can also be considered for small-group walks collected through our planned route. We often walk around five suitable dogs, matching them with attention to temperament, age, energy and social behaviour. Different routes provide physical exercise, fresh scents and controlled interaction.
Secure transport supports both services. We need clear handover arrangements, emergency contacts and honest information about travel behaviour. Tell us if your dog becomes worried in a crate, travels poorly or needs particular equipment for the journey.
Frequently asked questions
What does the water session cost?
The charge is £8, including the associated fuel cost. This covers the planned journey and 20-minute session routine. Collection is for the Wednesday 3pm appointment, with return at approximately 5pm to 5.30pm.
What health information should we provide?
Tell us about mobility, injuries, medical conditions, skin issues, previous swimming and confidence around water. Please share any veterinary guidance. Low-impact exercise isn't a substitute for diagnosis, rehabilitation advice or clinical treatment.
How do you decide on a walking group?
We consider temperament, age, size, energy and social behaviour. Recall, lead habits and response to other dogs also matter. We don't place dogs together solely because they live on the same route or appear similar in size.
