"My Lab Merlin has been going to Hill's since he's been suffering with Arthritis after having elbow dysplasia. He was putting on weight and loosing muscle mass due to reduced exercise. Since he's been having regular swimming and treadmill sessions he has lost weight and gained movement and strength back and is much more mobile and active. I can't recommend the staff at Hills enough they really are a great team very knowledgeable and supportive they really have changed Merlins life, I can't thank them enough."

"I brought our elderly whippet/lurcher cross Benji for hydrotherapy on the treadmill for over a year. Although never a water lover, Benji soon found his feet and regular hydrotherapy did wonders for his mobility and even prolonged his life. Katherine and her team were superb - knowledgeable, caring, friendly and always keen to do as much as possible to help Benji keep moving. Benji just made it to the age of 17 thanks in no small part to Katherine and her team. I shall miss my weekly visits."

"My dog has been with Hills for ongoing treatment for a number of years, she has life long illnesses that cannot be cured but are manageable. The team are professional, welcoming, understanding of the dog's situation plus that of myself as the owner. I absolutely trust in their treatment & service provision & value their opinions on my dogs progress with anything they advise may help. My dog loves visiting Hills, gets extremely excited & that to me speaks volumes. The team are friendly & are genuine people that care. I would wholeheartedly recommend them."
