Here at Butterwick Animal Rehab Clinic, we know that your dog isn’t just a pet, they are family! In fact, we understand that the word ‘family’ has, for you, come to mean many fond memories of your canine companion(s). Memories such as; walks in the park, cuddles on the sofa, playing games, and spending quality time with them. Love for their dog is something all dog-owners share; from laughing at guilty looks peeping out from under the kitchen table, or the daft things they sometimes do. We all know how our dogs bring joy into our lives. That’s why we help those interested in canine hydrotherapy and Physiotherapy. Whether you’re in Darlington, Middlesbrough, Stockton and the surrounding areas we want to help your dog live their best life. A life full of energy, health, fitness, mischief and fun! Veterinary Physiotherapy and hydrotherapy can make a significant difference to your dog.

Our team also understands the worry caused by illness, injury, or old-age. These are felt both by you and your dog. After all, when your best friend suffers, you feel largely helpless to relieve their pain. The frustration at seeing it happen is almost as hurtful as the pain itself.

Sound familiar? 

In fact, it is so often the case that the pain our pet feels is our shared suffering: family is family, whether on 2 or 4 legs. And yet – though we may not always admit it – there is another side to the coin: you feel heartbreakingly aware that the walks, the swims, the surprise licks, and the fireside cuddles might slip away. But, here’s the rub… we are sometimes reluctant to admit it, but the truth is that our pets can offer us independence, freedom, and a spirit of adventure that we never want to lose. It is easy to relate to this feeling… we understand what you’re going through.

Things are done a little differently here. Butterwick animal rehab have the distinct privilege of treating some of the most amazing clients in the world, all they want is love, hugs and care. That’s why we have the best job in the world! The bottom line is that we treat your dog like family. Why? Because they are, of course.

As a dog-owner and, more importantly, a dog-lover, we know how difficult decisions about your pet can be to make. That’s why we want to make it easier for you, on your pet, and on your peace-of mind. At the end of the day, we’re proud to say that we can help your dog, and you, by promising a life with less pain, stress, less dependency on high doses of medication, or worse.
