We took our 12 year old border collie Lilly for her first session on the hydrotherapy treadmill to help with her arthritis. Lilly has never been a fan of water but Scarlett and Duncan were absolutely brilliant with her and with treats and lots of encouragement she did absolutely amazing. The facilities are first class and extremely well thought out. Both Duncan and Scarlett are extremely knowledgeable and clearly love what they do and really care about the well-being of the dogs. Looking forward to our next ses...

Thank you Duncan and Scarlet for looking after Tess so well today. We don't like to miss a week at hydrotherapy, even when we are on holiday so I contacted The Retreat a couple of months ago to make arrangements for a session whilst were are in Devon this week. Very smooth process, 1st class facilities, and very receptive to us and our German Shepherd. I would wholeheartedly recommend.

Helene and Scarlett are excellent. Great facility. Winnie loves them both and covers them with kisses!!. She really enjoys her hydrotherapy sessions and seems a lot more comfortable with her hip dysplasia. I would highly recommend their services.

Massively recommend. Absolutely made up with our Bernese Mountain dog’s progress. The confidence Ernie’s gained in just 3 sessions is remarkable. Helen, Scarlet & Duncan have been wonderful, super attentive and patient, it’s clear to see, how much they enjoy what they’re doing.

Absolutely amazing team!! So knowledgeable, kind & patient- my 3 year old German Shepherd has hip dysplasia and the team have been fantastic, she absolutely loves them and I have noticed such an improvement in her mobility and fitness from the pool and water treadmill! They also do puppy swims which I can not wait to start with my pup very soon! Can not rate the Cainine Retreat enough- highly recommend 🥰
