Newfoundland Scooby, in the pool with his sister Bella.

Since his stay at Greyfriars last summer following his spinal problems, Scooby is now back to normal life. He still swims at Greyfriars twice a week to keep up his fitness levels and because he enjoys it so much. Scooby's life saving surgery was carried out by Rodolfo Cappello DVM PhD DipECVN MRCVS RCVS and European Specialist in Neurology and Neurosurgery at North Downs Specialist Referrals. Rodolfo continues to take a close interest in Scooby and is delighted that he has made such a good recovery.

Greyfriars is based in countryside just outside Guildford, Surrey, and is a centre of excellence in canine and feline rehabilitation.

Greyfriars provides a range of services including physiotherapy, functional rehabilitation, hydrotherapy, acupuncture, and short or long term inpatient care for dogs and cats. Our qualified and experienced team is dedicated to the welfare of animals.

We liaise closely with referring veterinary surgeons and physiotherapists, so that treatment programs can be tailored to suit each dog or cats' specific needs and believe in supporting both our patients and their owners. We understand how stressful and upsetting it can be to have an injured or disabled dog or cat and will do everything we can to assist you.


Greyfriars opened in 2001 and back then we were considered pioneering in our approach to hydrotherapy and rehabilitation. Now, thanks to increasing medical interest, studies and research, the veterinary profession is more aware of the benefits of early rehabilitation and preventative or management programs. We run training courses for veterinary and hydrotherapy professionals - helping to raise standards in this exciting and developing field.



Greyfriars has regularly featured in television programs, professional journals, magazine and newpaper articles - please visit our news and media section for more information. Greyfriars is a member of the Canine Hydrotherapy Association. You can access their website on www.canine-hydrotherapy.org/
Members of the Association comply with training, safety and patient care standards set by the CHA.
