This is because hydrotherapy falls under the veterinary surgeons act therefore we need permission from a veterinary surgeon.

Our husky had a TPLO surgery and had a difficult recovery time. After he started hydrotherapy, he became more confident and playful and the veterinarian noticed progress in his recovery. Rachel is very professional and very careful with the dogs. My dog is back to his usual very happy self and loves spending time with Rachel (sometimes he gives her kisses.
