The Dog Paddle 

Canine Rehabilitation Centre 

Welcome... At The Dog Paddle Canine Rehabilitation Centre, we pride ourselves on providing the utmost care to dogs that are rehabilitating from illness, injury or surgery. Also those with degenerative conditions such as arthritis. The pool is available for healthy pets who just enjoy swimming.

Opening in 2000, The Dog Paddle Canine Rehabilitation Centre was the first animal swim centre for dogs in Perth. Since then we have continued to grow.

 

 

 

Staffed only by trained Hydro Therapists, we offer a full range of rehabilitation services and crystal clear hydrotherapy facilities to meet all your pet's needs.

A veterinary referral is required for all first time swims if your dog has had an injury or surgery. Dogs in good health do not require a veterinary referral.

An appointment is required to allow for assessment of your dog, introduction to the pool and an individualised rehabilitation program to be devised.

Many dogs continue to swim after completing their rehabilitation, either for maintenance of their condition or as a fun alternative to regular exercise.
