Healthy Hounds Hydrotherapy and Massage is based in Dukinfield Cheshire and is run by Lisa Holland. Prior to founding Healthy Hounds I spent 10 years involved in the running of one of the busiest canine hydrotherapy pools in the country. Swimming up to 30 dogs a day and tailoring each dogs experience to their needs gave me the knowledge and expertise to assist our canine clients no matter what their reason for swimming with us.
Healthy Hounds are fully registered with The International Association of Animal Therapist (IAAT)
