About Us

We are members of the National Association of Registered Canine Hydrotherapists (NARCH) and abide by their code of conduct.

It is important that any client has confidence in the therapist treating their dog. By choosing to use a Registered Canine Hydrotherapist (RCH) you can be assured that the hydrotherapist looking after your dog or cat is trained in hydrotherapy and is required to abide by a code of practice and ethics by their professional association.

A listed RCH has fulfilled the NARCH training requirements for registration (which are the highest in the UK) and must keep up to date by completing a further Continued Professional Development training each year. 

Registration with NARCH is not an easy option for a canine hydrotherapist.

RCHs are required to abide by the guidelines and rules set out in the NARCH Guide to Professional Conduct and must hold public liability and professional indemnity insurance.

As part of our membership we are required to maintain the water quality and test the pool water multiple times during the day. Samples are sent away every month for microbiological testing. We also test quarterly for legionella. The temperature is controlled to obtain maximum therapeutic benefits for your dog.
