About us
Welcome to Panda Paws Hydrotherapy, a dedicated canine hydrotherapy centre located in the heart of Tenterden, Kent. Founded with a deep love for dogs and a passion for their well-being, our mission is to provide tailored hydrotherapy treatments that help dogs live healthier, happier lives.
The name Panda Paws Hydrotherapy is inspired by my dog, Panda, a nervous rescue who has taught me so much about patience, understanding and the importance of creating a safe environment. Panda's journey has motivated me to ensure that every dog who visits our centre feels secure, cared for, and supported regardless of their background or temperament. Panda's loyalty and spirit have been a constant source of joy and inspiration.
Another driving force behind Panda Paws Hydrotherapy is my experience with my beloved dog, Ace. In his later years, Ace faced mobility challenges, and hydrotherapy played a significant role in improving his quality of life. Watching him regain strength, confidence, and comfort through gentle, water-based therapy was truly life-changing. These personal experiences with Panda and Ace inspired me to create a place where other dogs could benefit from the same care and dedication. This business is a tribute to them and my lifelong bond with dogs.
I have a lifetime of experience working with dogs in various capacities. From caring for fully trained police dogs to sourcing puppies for Guide Dogs, I’ve always been dedicated to understanding and meeting dogs unique needs. In 2022, I obtained my Level 3 qualification in Canine Hydrotherapy, combining my professional skills with my passion for improving canine health and happiness.
Our hydrotherapy sessions take place in a purpose-built cabin in my garden, featuring a state-of-the-art swimming pool designed specifically for dogs. Our hydrotherapy pool is heated to a minimum of 29 Degrees to support your dogs recovery and comfort. We use bromine in the water, as it is gentler on the skin and less harsh than traditional Chlorine treatments. Whether your furry friend needs rehabilitation from an injury, relief from joint pain, or a fun and safe way to exercise, I am here to support them every step of the way.
Caring for dogs isn’t just my job; it’s my calling. From the joy of greeting a wagging tail to the reward of seeing a dog regain mobility or confidence, I find immense fulfillment in helping dogs and their owners. At Panda Paws, I strive to make every visit a positive and supportive experience, ensuring both you and your pet feel at ease.
