Hip Dog Canine Hydrotherapy & Fitness

Bev, Peter, and Tom are all the kindest most dog loving people you will ever find!!! From the first time myself and my lab mix Abbey walked in seeking treatment for a cruciate ligament injury they were more than helpful, knowledgeable, and motivating. They have a wonderful facility and are super accommodating. We were not sold on surgery without trying other more non invasive options first. Bev and Peter gave us hope that therapy could definitely help. We have been going for approx 6 – 7 weeks now and Abbey has made an incredible recovery!!! She is fully weight bearing on her leg and is doing better than we ever hoped. Not only has Abbey improved physically but mentally she absolutely loves going. When we started she was a little apprehensive about the water but now she gets there and jumps right in (after giving her hello kisses of course).
Not only have they helped with her ligament but they have given tons of tips and tricks for other things such as weight Loss etc that they have learned over the years. There are not enough kind things to say about Hip Dog. Even though Abbey has been deemed done with actual hydrotherapy we will be coming back on a very regular basis for just basic swimming. If anyone has a dog in need of therapy, weight loss, or just good old swimming fun– go to Hip Dog!!!

Beverly and Peter are truly amazing people. I have rarely met people who love dogs more. My 2 year old dog has had 2 hip surgeries (on the same hip) with the possibility of a third. She hasn’t used her leg in over a year, prefering to hop around on 3 legs due to the pain and discomfort.
Lilly HATES water and is scared of all new things. Beverly and Peter had Lilly come 3 times just to get used to them and their place. In just a few weeks Lilly started using her leg. It’s been a few months now and the transformation is amazing. Lilly uses her leg 98% of the time and is even jumping up on the bed on her own sometimes now.
Hip Dog has been a lifesaver for Lilly!!! Not only does she use her leg, she plays with her sister more, she runs around and you can tell she is happier.
