What our clients say about us

" My dog needed some enrichment activities. He has bags of energy, and it can be difficult to keep him happy. Staff at Snowy's are fantastic, so knowledgeable and patient. Diggle went from terrified in the water to quietly confident. On swim days, he conks out completely at night. I'm amazed at how his confidence is coming on and I know he is getting many and varied benefits from his fortnightly trips."

Diggle's Owner, Dinah Butler

" FANTASTIC facilities with the most incredibly understanding staff. I have visited this centre with three of my dogs for three different reasons and each time I leave feeling safe in the knowledge that they treat each dog with professionalism and care. Best of all, they always put the dog first! I wouldn't hesitate recommending this facility!"

Bear's Owner, Sarah Lesting

" I can wholeheartedly recommend Snowy's. They are all very professional & friendly. I have mobility issues & are kind enough to collect my boy & return him to my car. They're all extremely patient with my Yogi Bear, who can be a handful and very vocal (he's a Gsd.) He has hip dysplasia & has gained so much more in strength in his hindlimbs and has grown so much in confidence in the water that he swims without a buoyancy jacket. This is all down to the wonderful, caring, compassionate staff at Snowy's who clearly enjoy their job. A HUGE THANK YOU to all from Yogi bear & I."

Yogi Bear's Owner, Shell Bishenden

" Snowy's have gone above and beyond! Bear my reactive Lab cross GSD can sometimes be human reactive. Jackie spent nearly an hour on the phone during our initial conversation. She talked me through the process of how the treatment plan would work to suit Bears needs. We had an initial meet and greet session prior to starting treatment and Bear took to the ladies straight away. Bear has currently undertaken 2 myotherapy sessions and 1 hydrotherapy. Every time, the ladies have taken the sessions at Bears pace and has made it a very pleasant experience for both him and I. Would highly recommend Snowy's to anyone."

Bear's Owner, Tamzin Barrett

" I have been using Snowys's over the past 6 years attending on a weekly basis with my dogs. From the facilities that the centre has on offer, to the knowledge, dedication, commitment, love and care that the whole Snowys's Team have demonstrated and given to my dogs from our first ever session, have not only help us to improve and maintain our dog's health but also, their overall wellbeing. I can't recommend Snowy's enough and the only regret I have, is that I didn't discover them sooner!"

Arlo's owner, Chiara Gasparini
