Pain Management & Hands-On Therapy
Massage, laser therapy, dry needling, PEMF and other supportive therapies to help manage discomfort, muscle tension and movement restrictions.
Rehabilitation & Strengthening
Individualised rehabilitation programs to support recovery after injury or surgery, improve mobility and rebuild strength and coordination.
Senior Dog Care
Gentle, ongoing support for older dogs experiencing stiffness, arthritis, weakness or reduced mobility, helping them stay active and comfortable for longer.
Recycle for Sustainable Pet Futures.
Sun Dog Hydrotherapy is thrilled to offer an innovative recycling solution for waste that cannot be traditionally recycled, such as old, unused, pet products like toys, leads, collars, harnesses and food/water bowls! Simply place the product you want to recycle in our Zero Waste Box™ located at our reception area. These boxes will then be sent to TerraCycle® for recycling. So, instead of ending up in landfill or incinerators, the contents of the box will be sorted and turned into raw materials that can be reused!
