Welcome to
York Canine Hydro
Based in Poppleton, York — a specialist Hydrotherapy and Rehabilitation Centre dedicated to improving the physical and mental well-being of your canine companions.
At York Canine Hydro, we’re passionate about the transformative benefits of structured, compassionate, and professionally delivered treatment programmes. We work closely with vets, orthopaedic surgeons, complementary therapists, and you — the dog owners — to ensure the highest standard of care for every patient we treat.
To ensure a complete and professional service, we require all dogs to have a Referral Form completed by their Veterinary Surgeon or Orthopaedic Surgeon. We maintain ongoing communication with the referring professional throughout the course of treatment, providing regular updates and ensuring continuity of care. This process guarantees that a comprehensive medical history is available before, during, and after treatment.

Initial Consultation & First Hydrotherapy Session.
Your first appointment will last up to 1 hour. During this time, we will carry out a full consultation to discuss your dog’s condition and treatment goals. This allows us to ensure you have a clear understanding of the process, while giving your dog time to become familiar with the surroundings, equipment, and our team before beginning hydrotherapy.
Tailored Introduction to Hydrotherapy
​
The first hydrotherapy session will be short and gentle, carefully tailored to your dog’s individual needs and abilities. Session duration will be gradually increased over time, depending on your dog’s progress and the specific condition being treated.
Please note: The maximum time in the water or underwater treadmill is 20 minutes per session. This includes rest periods between swim sets or treadmill intervals.
​
Hydrotherapy is a highly effective but intensive form of exercise — just 1 minute of swimming is equivalent to a 1-mile run for a dog!
​Pet Insurance​​​​
​​
Most pet insurance policies cover Hydrotherapy and as a member of the National Association of Registered Canine Hydrotherapists treatment at York Canine Hydro should be covered, but please check with your insurance provider first.

"A wonderful centre with wonderful staff. I highly recommend for anyone thinking of starting their dog with hydro to come here. Katie went above and beyond for our reactive GSD who has hydro to aid in her recovery of a total hip replacement and to keep the other hip strong. The results have been fantastic, and this could not have happened without Katie’s kind and understanding approach."
