Award Winning Hydrotherapy Centre & Featured on Crufts 2025 (Sienna's Story)
Welcome to HS Canine Hydrotherapy!
HS Canine Hydrotherapy is a established, independent centre operated by the former Top Dog Hydrotherapy team. We proudly help dogs and other animals across Hampshire, Berkshire, Wiltshire, and Oxfordshire, including towns and villages such as Andover, Salisbury, Newbury, Basingstoke, Amesbury, Marlborough, Swindon, Oxford, Reading, Hungerford, Thatcham and Winchester. Some of our furthest customers come from the New Forest area as well as Southampton and Portsmouth.
At HS Canine Hydrotherapy, we believe every animal deserves the chance to move, heal, and thrive. What began as a small but passionate venture under the name Top Dog Canine Hydrotherapy has grown into a nationally recognized centre of excellence now proudly operating as HS Canine Hydrotherapy. At HS Canine Hydrotherapy we have the newest model of the Hydro Physio Under Water Treadmill featuring the addition of the incline. We work closely alongside Laura Cole, who runs a physiotherapy clinic called Paddock and Paws directly behind us, allowing us to provide a truly multimodal approach to rehabilitation and patient care.
Our journey has been shaped by incredible milestones, most notably our feature on Crufts 2025, where Sienna’s Story touched hearts across the UK. Sienna’s progress was made possible not only by our tailored care with us but also by the unwavering dedication of her owner, whose commitment played a vital role in her inspiring rehabilitation.
In 2025, our commitment to canine rehabilitation has been recognised with several major awards:
-
Winner – Veterinary Rehab Clinic of the Year, Regional Business Awards 2025
-
Runner up (Hydrotherapist of the year 2026 - Animal Star Awards)
-
Award of Excellence 2025 – Canine Hydrotherapy Centre
-
Highly Commended – Young Business Person of the Year, Test Valley Business Awards 2025
Sienna's Story (Crufts Feature - Channel 4)
Sienna’s Owner’s Testimonial & Comments
Sienna experienced an unfortunate and unexpected injury. As a dog walker, she accompanied me on all of my daily routes. During one of these walks, she collided with a much larger dog, resulting in paralysis of her left hind limb. I carried her to a nearby farm so we could transport her to the veterinary clinic. She was then referred to a specialist, where an MRI revealed a build up of mucus and fluid compressing her spinal cord, necessitating immediate spinal surgery.
Following surgery, Sienna remained hospitalised for several days before being discharged. She returned home still paralysed, and I undertook intensive rehabilitation with her. After two weeks, she managed her first unaided steps. Shortly after, the veterinary team approved her to begin hydrotherapy.
This is when we first met Harvey. From the outset, his professionalism, expertise, and compassion were evident. He invested considerable time and effort into Sienna’s recovery, pushing her appropriately while always ensuring her comfort and safety. I felt completely confident entrusting her care to him, knowing he was fully committed to achieving the best possible outcome for her.
Today, Sienna has regained approximately 99% of her normal function an outcome that once felt unimaginable. Harvey continues to treat her weekly, and I truly believe that without his dedication and skill, she would not be the dog she is today.

Despite the name, we treat cats too!
At HS Canine Hydrotherapy, it’s not just dogs that come through our doors we also welcome our feline friends.
Meet Noodles and Muffin, two of our lovely cats currently attending sessions with us. Noodles is being assessed for possible osteoarthritis, while Muffin has a history of medial patella luxation and right femoral head and neck excision surgery.
Osteoarthritis is a condition where the joints gradually become stiff and uncomfortable as the protective cartilage wears down. Gentle, controlled movement such as hydrotherapy in an underwater treadmill can help support mobility, comfort, and overall quality of life (even in cats).
Harvey and Cody have years of experience working in a cattery and absolutely love having cats in the centre. We understand that cats require a calm, patient, and understanding approach and that is exactly what they receive here.
