2023 FEE SCHEDULE

         (Taxes Included in all Prices)

Please note – All dogs new to Pawtherapy K9 Aquatic & Massage Centre, are required to wear a

life jacket regardless of their swimming ability. During their first swim session, their swimming

ability will be assessed by a Hydrotherapist, to ensure that they are in fact comfortable in the

pool area and can safely use the ramp upon entering and exiting the water.

Initial Hydrotherapy Consultation + 1 - 30 Minute Swim Session

(Only 1 Dog Per Appointment)

$110.00 = Appointment typically takes 45-60 Minutes

Consists of an “on land” consultation between you and a Hydrotherapist at Pawtherapy’s Facility,

which allows your dog time to become acclimated to their surroundings. An initial intake will be

constructed whereby important information will be collected pertaining to your dog’s current health

status, current weight, and a care plan will be designed accordingly based on your dog’s specific needs

and recommendations from your veterinarian. During this appointment, an initial 30-Minute Swim

Session will also occur, where we will allow your dog to become familiar with the pool deck, pool ramp,

fit them with a life jacket and assess their comfort level in the water. On a bi-monthly basis, updated

reports/videos will be provided to your referring Veterinarian.

exercises, proprioceptive work and massage techniques are used to encourage and enhance recovery

and over all well being of your dog. Approximately 5-10 minutes is allowed to towel dry your canine or

use the grooming dryer. The quantity of sessions required is specific to each individual dog's needs,

however at the initial appointment, the Hydrotherapist will be able to provide an estimated time frame

according to their findings. Often geriatric dogs or dogs that require swimming for degenerative

conditions, arthritis, inflammatory/pain control or emotional well-being, continue their swim sessions

with a Hydrotherapist versus being transitioned to a recreational swimmer.

adequate at swimming, they will be awarded with a certificate and will be able to continue as a

Recreational Swimmer, whereby their owner can facilitate the swim session from the upper deck area.
