We all know how our dogs bring joy into our lives. That’s why we help those interested in canine hydrotherapy and physiotherapy.

What Our Customers Say About Us

About Butterwick Animal Rehab Clinic

Butterwick Animal Rehab Clinic was founded by Mark Harding – one of the UK’s leading Veterinary Physiotherapists & Hydrotherapists, a nationally known Speaker, lecturer and has appeared on BBC’s Look North programme.

Mark has been helping pet owners just like you in the North east of England for nearly two decades. People just like you who are worried about their pet, potential long term dependency on drugs and their pets’ reducing quality of life. We strongly believe that a combined approach with your Vet, you, and us gives your dog the best chance possible of gaining and maintaining their zest for life and keeping them happy and healthy.

Nowadays, with the hydrotherapy side booming because of the amazing community support and interest, Mark soon realised more could be done, more dogs could be helped and more owners could be left feeling hopeful of a happier and healthier future again. His revelation was on account of a particular special woofer, Hector. Having had no feeling below the neck, Hector couldn’t walk following a spinal surgery, and he – as well as his owners – were, understandably, miserable. Mark wanted to do more – for this dog and the countless others he met. His search for something more led him to Veterinary physiotherapy! And without further ado, Mark jumped in and became one of the most sought-after veterinary physiotherapists in the area. If you’re still wondering about Hector – he went back to walks on the beach and having a ball.

Veterinary Physiotherapy

Watching your dog struggle with pain and mobility issues is like seeing a bright light gradually dimming. The spark that once filled your days with joy and adventure seems to fade, and you’re left longing for those fun happy moments at home and out on walks. Just as you would do anything to reignite that light, we’re here to help restore your dog’s vitality and happiness, ensuring they shine brightly again. Imagine your dog as a furry sidekick who suddenly can’t join you on your favourite adventures, that’s pretty awful and sadly the case for a lot of dogs in our area. We’d love to change that! We’re here to ensure they get back on their feet, ready to explore and enjoy life by your side once again. Our goal is to provide the path you need to reclaim their happiness and mobility, so you can continue making wonderful memories together both now and in the future. Quite a lot of our owners said they wished they hadn’t waited until their dog’s condition worsened. Early treatment can make a world of difference. Don’t worry, if we are starting a little further down the track a lot can be done to reverse that decline, and possibly more than you think!
