About Us

Lancashire Canine Hydrotherapy offers aquatic treadmill treatment sessions in Bury, Lancashire.  As a Canine Hydrotherapy Association (CHA) accredited centre, we are Vet Referral Only.  What does that mean?  It means that you can have the peace of mind that your hydrotherapist is qualified, the water is clean and safe and that your centre adheres strictly to the quality standards set out by the governing body, the CHA.

There is a state of the art Tudor treadmill so we can deliver outstanding rehabilitation in a controlled and professional environment.

Our experienced hydrotherapist, Jen, will tailor a programme specifically for the needs of your dog, working with you to understand any limitations, resource challenges, time constraints and concerns.  We do not use a “one size fits all” approach.

We have a safe, quiet space, using kind, patient and positive reward-based techniques which help to reassure even the most nervous dogs (and their owners!)

About Jen

Jen has been working in the industry for 9 years and qualified at Hawksmoor in Warwickshire. Jen has a cocker spaniel called Oliver who is in his senior years (15+ but don’t tell him, he still thinks he’s a puppy). Alongside her hydrotherapy qualification, Jen also holds a certificate in canine nutrition which supports greatly the assessments, and also the rehabilitation plans that are put in place for each dog we see. Jen is a double Ironman Triathlete and she has trekked to Everest Base Camp and summitted Mount Kilimanjaro. Jen fractured her spine in 2012 in a motorbike accident and, following neurosurgery, had hydrotherapy as part of her own long and painful rehabilitation. This combined with her passion for dogs, and helping people, led her down the route of becoming a hydrotherapist.

About the Centre

The Centre was established in September 2023, with all of the work being done by Jen and her husband Simon, along with the help of some local companies and of course friends. Jen has taken every bit of experience she has to build a hydrotherapy centre that will hopefully be of the highest standard, and that despite the reasons for coming to it (often the very worst of times for dog owners as some of the conditions and injuries we treat can be life changing for both the dog and the owner), it will still be a positive experience for everyone. Jen has listened to what owners want and what they find important, and will continue to do so – this is your centre, not ours.

Please take a moment to read our reviews, these should give any worried owners some reassurance.
