Pupper Hutt is a canine hydrotherapy clinic at Unit 8, 3 George Daniels Drive in Trentham, Upper Hutt. It was set up in 2023 after the owner, Katy, saw a growing need for dog hydrotherapy in the Hutt Valley. Katy is a certified canine hydrotherapist, qualified through the Canine Health and Wellbeing Academy in Melbourne, and she keeps up professional development in line with NZACH guidelines. Each dog gets a tailored hydrotherapy program, for dogs with injuries, reduced mobility or ill health.
Customers say Katy is professional, compassionate and knowledgeable, and that she explains the process clearly. One owner said hydrotherapy is a strange environment for dogs, with unfamiliar noises and smells, but Katy calmed and reassured their dog quickly, and treats helped. Another owner said their dog was back to enjoying walks and sometimes short runs after treatment. To find the clinic, turn into George Daniels Drive from Alexander Road, take the first short street on the right, then turn right into the complex.
