Meet the Crew
Fiona
Owner & Hydrotherapist
In a past life I was an AI consultant working in Manchester. After being made redundant 4 weeks after returning from maternity leave (yikes!), I decided to ditch the day job and do something I LOVE and something my son would be proud of. Since then I’ve qualified with my Level 3 Hydrotherapy qualification and, after noticing the lack of resources in Central/South Manchester, I’ve started up my own centre in Edgeley, Stockport. To say I love dogs is an understatement and it’s truly a privilege to know that I’ll truly be contributing to your wonderful dog’s health & wellness.
Grace
Hydrotherapist & Physiotherapist
Hi, I’m Grace! With a BSc in Veterinary Physiotherapy, I’ve always been driven by a passion for animal care. Canine hydrotherapy combines my love for dogs with the healing power of water-based therapy! Watching an animal’s progress, from injury or surgery to running and playing again, is truly the most fulfilling part of my work. I specialize in treating IVDD, working closely with pets to help them recover and regain mobility.
In my spare time you’ll usually find me snuggled on the sofa with my dogs Eric and Dexter (and Merlin the cat if he is feeling nice), playing guitar or up a climbing wall!
Rolo
The O.G. Hydrohound
Rolo is my partner in crime, original Hydrohound and official mascot. Rolo introduced me to hydrotherapy as a puppy. He had severe Osteochondritis Dissecans (OCD) in his shoulder and subsequently underwent surgery at only 10 months old. Rolo’s post-op treatment meant weekly hydrotherapy sessions which led to a full and speedy recovery. Rolo will always be on-site at Hydrohounds but don’t worry, if your dog is reactive or sensitive to other dogs then Rolo will gladly snooze in his den in the office in order to ensure your pooch is as relaxed as possible.
