Meet The Pack

In October 2024, Sarah, Gillian & Graeme Dykes became the new owners of the Canine Hydrotherapy business originally on this site.
With a new name and rebrand, we intend to take the business forward, maintaining the service and operation that many have enjoyed previously, whilst expanding the range of services offered.

We are delighted to be able to collaborate with Liv Randell of Surrey Hills Veterinary Physiotherapy to offer canine physiotherapy services.

Additionally, we are in discussion with other canine practitioners to develop further services that could be conducted in the new Consultation Room we are planning to construct this summer.

If you have services you would like us to consider or you are a clinical practitioner yourself do drop us a line.
