About me

Sally Taphouse is a fully qualified Canine Hydrotherapist, having gained a level 3 certificate in Hydrotherapy for Small Animals.

She has a passion for canine health and wellbeing, having 6 dogs of her own who have suffered from several limb issues including hip dysplasia, Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) in shoulder and Caudal cruciate rupture.

While dealing with these issues realised that the Spilsby / Skegness area was lacking in Hydrotherapy facilities that would have helped her animals recover from their operations and manage their conditions better.

She decided to take action and built a brand new custom made hydrotherapy pool for dogs in the Spilsby / Skegness area.
