Aquapaws Canine Rehabilitation Centre

Aquapaws is a Melbourne-based canine rehabilitation and fitness centre focused on improving dogs’ mobility, comfort and performance through personalised, evidence-based therapies. Operating since 2004 with a small, attentive team, Aquapaws offers veterinary physiotherapy and a range of hands-on treatments such as dry needling, cold laser therapy and remedial massage to help dogs recover from injury, manage chronic conditions and reduce pain. Their aquatic facilities — including a heated indoor pool and an underwater treadmill — support hydrotherapy sessions and puppy swim classes, while the on-site K9 gym and secure off-leash areas allow tailored conditioning and strength work for performance dogs and senior pets. They also provide post-surgical rehabilitation and boarding to ensure continuity of care during recovery. Aquapaws designs and supplies Australian-made mobility aids (dog wheelchairs, lifting harnesses, leg braces and boots) and works collaboratively with veterinarians and physiotherapists to create individual treatment plans for dogs of all breeds and ages. Whether you have a recovering surgery patient, a senior dog needing active aging support, a performance athlete seeking conditioning, or a puppy building water confidence, Aquapaws emphasizes personalised attention, specialised facilities and practical assistive devices to help dogs move better and live more comfortably.
