So very happy to give 5 stars to Blue Bear for their care and expertise. Our Cassie attends weekly hyrotherapy sessions in the pool for elbow dysplasia. We are at week 3 and already noticing an improvement. Cassie really enjoys her swims and becomes more confident with each visit. It is a joy to witness her enjoyment and progress. Every , member of staff is so caring and quiet obviously puts their doggy clients at the heart of all they do. Thank you very much.

I can't rate these guys highly enough! They are all absolutely amazing and have made such a difference to my dog in the last 6 weeks. I wasn't sure what to expect but they're so caring and considerate.

We have been taking our 9 year old German Shepherd to Blue Bear for treatment after a diagnosis of arthritis in her elbows and hips. The staff clearly love dogs and are so good with our nervous girl. Starting with physio before introducing her to the underwater treadmill.

Really cool place, and friendly staff. I done a first aid course here, but the rest of the facilities look amazing. Would love to take my puppy swimming here. They also sell lots of treats and the prices were really great.

Blue bear has become a second home for my staffie, Thor, and I. His arthritis was debilitating when he first started and now he has built his muscle back up and the team at Blue Bear are so kind and they always ask how he has been. So happy to have been referred by our vet to this team ❤️ we go for hydrotherapy and physio.
