Greyfriars Rehabilitation Referrals Ltd

Greyfriars Rehabilitation Referrals Ltd is a registered veterinary practice established in 2001 that focuses on rehabilitation and hydrotherapy referrals. The website describes facilities that include dedicated consultation/treatment rooms, indoor and outdoor rehab areas, a 5m x 10m heated pool with swim jets and platforms, and a water treadmill. Recent reviews describe tailored rehab plans for mobility problems (including hind-leg weakness), coordination with a pet’s primary vet around medication, and staff adapting sessions when a dog wouldn’t tolerate certain equipment (one owner reports their dog “firmly refused the underwater treadmill,” so the team adjusted accordingly).
