About Us 

Lichfield Hydrotherapy Centre was set up and is run by the Animal Matters team. Two sisters working together to provide the highest standard of care to all the animals we come into contact with, whether it be walking, training or swimming. 

​

Not only are Abbie and Gemma both qualified hydrotherapists, they also have years of experience working with dogs. 

During your visit to the centre your dog's safety and comfort is priority, only therapeutic handling techniques are used and your dog will be accompanied in the water at all times to ensure they feel secure and confident whilst swimming. 

​

Lichfield Hydrotherapy Centre is ideally situated on the outskirts of Lichfield, just a couple of minutes from the A38, or the centre of town.

You will find the centre set back from Cappers Lane, down a private drive.
