Welcome to Silverden's
website where I hope you will find the information you are looking for about one of the best forms of exercise you
can use to help your dog to regain or retain fitness - hydrotherapy.
Hydrotherapy can be used
to speed the recovery and aid the mobility of an injured dog and to maintain fitness for the healthy one. I am
keen to promote this marvellous form of exercise, not only for my business but for the good of all dogs. They are our
precious companions, whether they are our pets, working for us or showing for us and they deserve the
best we can offer: Whether it is for their fitness and health or to keep them as pain free and comfortable
as possible if they have been injured or are growing old. Hydrotherapy can be used to fulfill all these criteria and the whole
ethos of Silverden is to treat your dog with gentleness and consideration for the condition which brings them to us.
Silverden has been operating as a Canine Hydrotherapy Pool since 2001 and was the first one to operate in
East Sussex. A year was spent sourcing the right size and type of pool: I wanted a pool
that was bigger than the commercial canine pools available and I also wanted one that was at waist height which would allow
the dog to see their owner without altering the alignment of their spine by looking up which would happen with a lower pool;
this is important when treating dogs with spinal or neck problems.
The pool I eventually chose originated in France and is used to treat up to 12 dogs a day.
At Silverden you will find a very friendly welcome where every effort is made to put you and your dog at ease. I concentrate solely on canine hydrotherapy without any add-on services, this leaves me free to concentrate
on you and your dog: My expertise is evident in this important therapy and eight years experience in this field has
resulted in many successes in rehabilitation as well as many happy dogs and owners.
