We’ve only had our first session so far but staff are friendly, helpful and efficient and it’s really helpful that we get advice written up to follow in at home.

I cannot recommend the whole team at The Canine Fitness Centre highly enough. They have been supporting my dachshund, Barley, as part of his recovery journey following spinal surgery for Grade 4 IVDD, and they have been nothing short of amazing. A very special mention has to go to Vicki, who has seen Barley regularly and has shown such genuine care, patience and interest in him as an individual. It is so reassuring to usually have the same person each time, especially when going through something as emotional as IVDD recovery, but on the occasions we have seen other members of the team when Vicki has been fully booked or on leave, they have all been equally kind, knowledgeable and professional. Barley’s progress has been phenomenal. Of course, every animal’s journey is different, but with their support he has made major, significant progress almost every week. They are honest, fairly priced, and clearly care deeply about the animals they work with. We genuinely look forward to our sessions there, which says everything about the warmth and positivity of the team. We are so grateful for everything they have done for Barley and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing hydrotherapy, physiotherapy or rehabilitation support for their dog.

We have had amazing results with our cat Monty at the Canine Centre. Louise Holliday took Monty on and with a huge amount of patience she has managed to repair his damaged nerves and although he will always have a limp he did not have to undergo an amputation! Louise even managed to get him to swim! not a natural practice for a cat! Many thanks to all at the Canine Centre. Hilary Marchant

We can’t praise the centre enough and would definitely recommend them without hesitation. Louise has been fantastic and patient with our dachshund Toffee. Unfortunately Toffee had to have three spinal operations over the last year and the care given from Louise has been amazing. They are very knowledgeable and professional and gave us great confidence in her recovery. Louise always takes time to put Toffee at ease in each session as Toffee is an anxious dog. All of the staff are very friendly and helpful.

Our Cockapoo Luna was referred to CFC in 2023 and she has had hydro, treadmill and physio sessions since then. The team are fantastic and we have worked closely with Abby and Leanne and Lunas issues have improved and we understand how to treat her so much better.

Leanne, Tom and the team at Canine Fitness Centre (Petersfield) have been fantastic in supporting us with our staffie Max, making sure that he gets the right sort of treatment for his condition. Nothing has been too much trouble for them and they have worked with Max in a thoroughly professional and loveable way. I know they they loved Max as much as we did. Thank you all.
