Booking a session is easy!

Simply reach out to us via our contact page or call us directly to schedule a consultation. We’ll discuss your dog’s specific needs and create a tailored plan for their therapy or conditioning.

For some conditions, a vet referral may be necessary, particularly for post-surgery rehabilitation. However, many clients can also book directly for general health, injury prevention, or performance conditioning.

Absolutely.

Many of the dogs we work with are reactive, nervous, anxious or simply prefer their own space. Our facility is designed to minimise unnecessary interactions with other dogs, and appointments are scheduled to help create a calm and controlled environment.

We are happy to discuss your dog’s individual needs before your appointment and can make adjustments where needed to help set them up for success.

Our goal is to make rehabilitation a positive experience for every dog, regardless of their behavioural challenges.

In many cases, yes.

Aurora has extensive experience working with dogs of all temperaments, including those with handling sensitivities, fear-based behaviours and bite histories.

The safety of your dog, our team and other clients is always our priority. We will discuss your dog’s history before your appointment and, where required, may recommend safety measures such as muzzle training or modified handling techniques to ensure everyone remains safe and comfortable.

Honesty is always appreciated. The more information we have beforehand, the better we can tailor our approach to your dog’s individual needs.

Class IV Laser Therapy uses high-powered laser light to penetrate deep into your dog’s tissues, promoting faster healing, reducing pain, and increasing circulation. It’s a non-invasive treatment that stimulates cellular repair and enhances mobility.

The laser emits light that is absorbed by the mitochondria in cells, stimulating their function and speeding up the healing process. It helps reduce pain, inflammation, and swelling, which accelerates recovery and enhances mobility.

Yes, it is completely safe when administered by trained professionals. The therapy is non-invasive, drug-free, and has no side effects. The laser is gentle, and many dogs find the treatment relaxing.

Each session typically lasts 10-20 minutes, depending on the dog’s condition and treatment area. The procedure is quick, and dogs often relax or sleep through the session.

The number of sessions varies based on the condition being treated. Typically, 5-10 sessions are recommended for optimal results, with regular maintenance sessions after recovery. Your dog’s treatment plan will be tailored to their specific needs.

No. Therapeutic Class IV laser therapy is not designed to burn or damage tissue and is generally very well tolerated by dogs.

In fact, many dogs become relaxed during treatment and some will even fall asleep.

People often associate lasers with hair removal or tattoo removal, but those treatments are designed to create controlled tissue damage and typically operate at much higher power levels. Therapeutic lasers work differently. At Canine Flow, our Class IV laser operates at a maximum of 20 watts and is used to stimulate healing, reduce inflammation and help manage pain through a process called photobiomodulation.

Most dogs feel little more than a gentle warming sensation during treatment.

Hydrotherapy is a low-impact exercise that uses water's natural resistance to help your dog improve strength, mobility, and endurance while reducing strain on joints and muscles. It’s ideal for rehabilitation and conditioning.

Hydrotherapy promotes muscle strengthening, joint mobility, and pain relief. The buoyancy of water reduces joint stress while the resistance provides an effective workout for muscles. It’s also great for weight management.

• Post-Surgery Recovery (e.g., TPLO, FHO, ACL repairs)
• Arthritis and Joint Conditions (e.g., hip or elbow dysplasia)
• Sporting Dogs (enhancing strength and endurance)
• Senior Dogs (maintaining mobility and preventing stiffness)
• Overweight Dogs (aiding in safe, low-impact weight loss)

Hydrotherapy sessions typically last 15-30 minutes, depending on your dog’s condition and comfort level. Sessions are one-on-one, ensuring your dog gets individual attention.

Yes, it is very safe. We use supervised sessions and provide individual treatment plans to ensure each dog is comfortable and gets the most benefit from their hydrotherapy sessions.

Canine rehabilitation focuses on helping dogs recover from injury, surgery, or chronic conditions through exercise, manual therapies, and muscle strengthening. The goal is to restore function, mobility, and alleviate pain.

• Post-Surgery Recovery (e.g., orthopedic surgeries like TPLO, FHO)
• Arthritis and Joint Pain
• Soft Tissue Injuries (muscle strains, ligament damage)
• Neurological Conditions (e.g., nerve damage, IVDD)
• Chronic Pain (helping manage long-term conditions)

Rehabilitation uses targeted therapies, such as strengthening exercises, manual techniques, and laser therapy, to promote healing, rebuild muscle, and improve mobility. It’s a comprehensive approach tailored to each dog’s condition.

The length of the program depends on your dog’s condition. Post-surgery or injury recovery may take several weeks to months. We provide a custom plan for each dog to ensure the best and fastest recovery.

Sporting dog conditioning is a program designed to improve a dog’s strength, endurance, and performance in competitive sports like agility, flyball, or dock diving.

Sporting dog conditioning is ideal for:

• Active dogs that participate in sports like agility or obedience trials
• Working dogs that require stamina and strength
• Performance dogs that need to maintain peak physical condition

The program includes a mix of strength training, stretching exercises, and endurance training tailored to your dog’s specific needs. The goal is to enhance performance, prevent injuries, and improve recovery times.

Yes, we often combine sporting dog conditioning with therapies like laser therapy or hydrotherapy to help dogs perform at their best and recover efficiently. The combination of treatments supports both injury prevention and enhanced performance.
