Animal Health & Hydro ™
Owned and run by qualified veterinarian Dr Tanya Grantham, we have three branches, one located on the East Rand, one in Little Falls on the West Rand and the other in Pretoria East. All our veterinarians are registered with the South African Veterinary Council (SAVC) and all our Veterinary Therapists are either registered or authorised by SAVC. We specialise in the Physical Rehabilitation of dogs, cats and now horses. Our small animal services include Canine Hydrotherapy, Feline Hydrotherapy, Veterinary Acupuncture, Light Therapy, Thermotherapy, Cryotherapy, Massage and many other options. Our equine services include veterinary acupuncture, sports massage and body work, as well as post op/injury rehabilitation among others.
OUR PRACTICE
All the water we use in the underwater treadmill is recycled and filtered in the same way our pool water is cleansed. Our facility is also solar powered. Although we do not have batteries to store the power, the entire building (pumps, air conditioners, lighting and technology) runs off solar power when the sun shines. Which is most of the time in SA!
CORE BUSINESS
Our core business is to make your pets feel better. We do this by providing individualized solutions for small animal companions (cats and dogs) and horses needing physical rehabilitation and/or pain management beyond allopathic medication and conventional Veterinary interventions.
In addition to the physical rehabilitation of animals we also help you with the fitness and conditioning of your canine and equine athletes. We can help you and your sporty companion to gain a greater advantage over the competition.

We make information and literature available (blogs, pamphlets, articles) to improve awareness. Our primary focus is the quality of life of our animal companions.
