Click Play To Hear From Mark Harding – founder of Butterwick Animal Rehab Clinic:
Here at Butterwick Animal Rehab Clinic, we know that your dog isn’t just a pet, they are family! In fact, us dog owners have 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 all 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, Sedgefield, Northallerton or Barnard Castle 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, improving mobility, reducing pain, and aiding in post-surgery recovery. Many of our clients realised the need for our services when they saw their dogs struggling to move or experiencing chronic pain. Often, these moments come as heartbreaking realisations that their beloved dog are suffering, and they needed a solution that would truly help.
Our team also understands the worry caused by illness, injury, or old age. These are felt both by you and your dog. It often feels a bit like an emotional roller coaster. After all, the frustration at seeing them struggle is real and many owners are looking for something that will make a big difference.
Our services fix these problems by improving your dog’s mobility, reducing pain, and aiding in post-surgery recovery in a positive environment that dogs enjoy so your dog get back to their happy, active, and energetic self and regain their old walks and a good quality of life again.
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!
Many clients have considered other options like traditional medication or other clinics, but they chose us because of our positive reviews, recommendations, and the visible improvements they noticed in their pets. We believe in clear, straightforward communication without jargon. We explain everything in plain English, ensuring you feel confident and informed every step of the way. Ultimately, our clients trust us to provide compassionate, effective care that truly makes a difference in their pet’s life.
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 some good dog treats (obviously). 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, it’s as simple as that.
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 it’s highly likely we can help your dog, and you, by promising a life with less pain, stress, or worse.
Before working with us, many clients had concerns about the cost and whether our treatments would be effective and if their insurance would cover it. They also wondered if their pets would respond well to hydrotherapy and physiotherapy. However, our clients soon realised the transformative impact of our care. One client, Andrew, shared, “I was initially sceptical on how effective this would be for a dog’s recovery, but after several sessions, I feel as though this has helped my dog come on so much! Hugo had TPLO surgery, and we were recommended Butterwick to help with recovery and can honestly say we have been so pleased with the results.” Another client, Mark Johnson, noted, “The improvement in my dog’s mobility and overall happiness has been incredible. It’s like we have a new dog, full of energy and life.” These heartfelt testimonials highlight the difference our clinic has made, reassuring new clients that they are making the right choice for their beloved pets.

- You’re tired of not knowing what to do– seeing your beloved dog suffer is taking its toll on you and your family and you want answers.

About Butterwick Animal Rehab Clinic
Nationally known Veterinary Physiotherapist and Hydrotherapist.
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.
Mark Harding had an extraordinary idea in 2004… why not create a safe, healthy, comfortable environment in which to rehabilitate injured, elderly dogs? And even better, why not just make that space about providing the best quality of life for all dogs?
And so, Butterwick Animal Rehab Clinic was born!
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.
