Owners are requested to groom their dog prior to the session to remove any excess hair. We would kindly ask that you take the patient for a short walk prior to the session so that they may relieve themselves ensuring that all waste is picked and deposited in the nearest suitable bin. Please ensure that the patient (if a dog) is kept on a lead at all times unless instructed by the Hydrotherapist. A surcharge of £50 will be levied for any patient that fouls in the pool, as the pool will then need to be closed for cleaning.
