We would like to thank Beth and Judy for their expertise and undivided attention they have given our dog Cody. Cody, a Brittany, was a very active dog. He ran off leash for at least 1 hr a day through the fields across the street from our home. He demanded his hikes every day. About a year and a half ago he was running through the field and slipped on ice and hurt his back and has been going downhill ever since. He started to lose strength in his back legs, which aggravated an old injury in his front wrist. Cody got to a point where he could barely get up and down and was having a very hard time getting on and off the bed and couch. Our vet told us there was little we could do but to put him on 2 Ibuprofen a day and Gluecosimine Chondroitin therapy, the Ibuprofen barely kept him comfortable. Cody wasn't Cody any longer (very sad). We began to worry he would get to the point where he wouldn't be able to go outside to go to the bathroom. Then we discovered Healing Waters. His first session didn't go very well; he was in the water for 5 min of the 30 min session. Cody has now completed his 13th session and he is truly his old self again. He now swims for nearly the whole 30 min and he jumps on and off the bed and couch without thought or hesitation. We are now back to his every day hikes and he is playing with his toys again. We are dedicated to his water therapy as long as Healing Waters exists.....Thank you so much Judy and Beth for giving us back our old "Cody The Dog"

Hello Beth & Judy,
I just had to tell you that we all noticed a big difference in Max after his swim Saturday. He really seemed to be walking better over the weekend and I think he was pretty pleased with himself too. It is hard to believe the short time he was in the water made so much difference, but there is no other explanation. We are looking forward to our next visit. Thank you! Judy and Max 5-1-2010
To Healing Waters:
When we first got Bogart, he was a puppy full of energy and life. He had a nonstop motor. As he has gotten older, he is still full of life but with less energy. What Healing Waters has done for Bogart has been awesome. He has more energy than before, Bogart is 14 years old and gets around like he is half his age. What I like about Healing Waters is that everyone who is part of the company is so kind, goodspirited and caring. It is very clean and provides a good, relaxing time. To everyone that has taken Healing Waters and made it into the real deal... Thank you so much.

Hunter loves swimming at Healing Waters. It gives him extra exercise and tires him out. He is a four year old Black Lab with hip dysplasia and arthritis so it is very good for his condition. I am open for comments at 330-447-8529 or e-mail me at www.rchagency.com.

Kenzie is nearly 16 years old. As a younger Scottie, she went against the idea that Scotties don't swim. She loved and enjoyed the water and so enjoyed swimming in Lake Erie. Today, her third visit at Healing Waters, she was relaxed and so very happy. I cried tears of joy to see her "young again". This has helped her during the week to have much less arthritic pain too.

To Healing Waters...
Words cannot express how excited my rescued Golden Retriever Major is when we pull up to Healing Waters every week for his "swimming lessons" as I refer to it! Having already been diagnosed at age 4 with limited range of motion in his hips, his weekly swimming lessons have strengthened his back end giving him flexibility and strength, not to mention tiring him out for the rest of the night! He excitedly waits at the door to the pool, barking if it isn't his turn to go in. He can't wait for the first toy to be thrown to him.... his favorite being the lobster. Judy and Beth are both so wonderful and Major happily greets his 2 and 4 legged friends as he eagerly waits for his turn to jump off the deck and start swimming. What a blessing it is to have Healing Waters in our community.

My name is Stewart and I am a 3 year old Steel Blue Merle Sheltie. I have Poly Arthritis and my joints and muscles feel so much better since I have started at Healing Waters. I don't really swim in the 90 degree pool, I just float and sometimes I fall asleep since I am so relaxed. Tell your mommy to take you to Healing Waters for swimming or floating so you can be pampered too.

I know it has been a long time since I was at Healing Waters and I should have barked you a note a long time ago, but I have been very busy helping my partner Brenda as she has been really sick. I try to be a big golden help to her as she suffers in pain all the time. I used to be able to help her more, but now it is harder for me because my arthritis bothers me because I am 12 1/2 years old. The day I got to spend at Healing Waters truly helped me heel again. I now walk beside her wheelchair and pick up things when she drops them on the floor. We can't come to see you right now cause she has to stay in bed all day. But guess what girls, I can now get on her bed so we can share our bedtime treat of graham crackers and vanilla pudding. She eats the pudding and I get the yummy graham crackers. Even though, I was scared of the water; without the two of you I wouldn't be able to heel myself by healing my best friend and partner for life. Many barks, wags and licks for healing the both of us.

I examined "Ivo" on 4-26-11 and noticed how fit "Ivo" seems. I suspect alot has to do with the exercise he is getting at Healing Waters. It has made a difference.

This place is a "GodSend" for our Golden Retriever, MAX. Due to surgerical repair on both knees, he was left immoble until (only) one leg healed enough to be useful. The muscles were atrophying due to lack of use. Swimming was the answer--- We had no idea Healing Waters existed! Thanks to the Certified dedicated ladies who work with Mackie weekly, he has gained muscle mass and is stronger with every session. He had never swam before--- now he is woking his rear legs and propelling himself thru the water on his own. They use a hydraulic lift with a torso belt to get him in and out of the pool. Soon he will be jumping off the ramp and into the water by himself. You need to see this place! and how gentle and kind Beth and Judy are with our 11 yr. old Golden! It has given him a new life with more years to come and a better quality of life. Thank You!

Joey is a 6 yr. old doxie with IVDD. He had a ruptured disc and calcified disc removed during surgery on March 27, 2011. Since coming to Healing Waters post-op, Joey has gone from no use of his hind legs to wobbly walking in just 3 sessions. He comes one time per week, and it has made such a difference in his walking.
Thanks again to Dr. Owen for recommending Healing Waters for Joey's post-op therapy. This is priceless for these dogs.

I am Rick Warren, guardian with my wife of Jake. With your permission I will post them (pictures) on my facebook wall, along with my ringing endorsement, of the wonderful service you provide. Although I believed that hydro-massage was a good idea, i had no idea that it would be as beneficial as it has been.
I will be happy to sing your praises to anyone, as I believe that this is a valuable service delivered in a compassionate manner. I have to believe that if it had the positive effect on a blind, old, & diabetic dog like Jake as it has, the benefit to a younger and healthier dog would be even greater.
We will be bringing our Lab Rosie (6 years) and our Beagle Lily (8 years) for recreational swimming soon.
Thanks so much.

Dear Judy and Beth,
i want to thank you for your wonderful facility and the pleasure that you gave to Casey. You don't know how much he loved to come and swim. You made his last year a truly happy one.
Thanks for everything you did for him.

Our golden retriever, Brady, is a regular at Healing Waters. His swim time with Beth and Judy is his absolute favorite thing in life. He whines and carries on and is such a happy boy!
Healing Waters is the place for individualized care and fun, happy times in the pool.

Healing Waters has been such a blessing to Layla and I. Layla had cruciate surgery back in May and was not rehabilitating very well. Her progress was slow to notice and we were both getting discouraged. My vet referred us to Healing Waters for Aquatic Rehabilitation to see if that would help. Our first visit was pretty nerve racking. Layla had never swam before so we were both pretty nervous and unsure. She was scared of the water and needed a life jacket and two people in the pool with her to keep her in and calm. Needless to say we stuck it out and now the word "pool" receives the same response as "car". She is doing so well and is using her leg almost completely normal. She is actually playing in the pool and you can see the enjoyment it brings her in her eyes! We will continue to come to Healing Waters, as this is the best exercise I can offer her. Whether is be for fun or for supplementing post surgery rehab, Healing Waters is a must for puppies of all ages!

Beth and Judy-
After having had surgery for disc repair in her neck at Akron Veterinary Referral and Emergency Center on September 20, 2011, she (Sadie Silverhart) remained hospitalized there for two weeks. She returned home on October 3rd where she received therapy 3 to 4 times a day. After two weeks Sadie returned to the Veterinary Clinic for a check-up. She still had not attempted to get up and stand. Her home therapist made great strides with her progress. However, the crowning touch was after her first therapy session at Healing Waters. She actually tried to walk out of the spa. After the second session she started to walk. Following five sessions, she is walking and doing some running. We are all very pleased with her progress. We will continue taking her for swimming sessions twice a week to keep her sustained. We thank everyone involved for her great progress!

I started bringing my 3 year old Rottweiler, Britta, to Healing Waters in December 2011. Since starting, the progress she has made is astounding. The once stout Britta has already lost 5lbs. Also, she had suffered from a right shoulder injury for quite some time and now she no longer limps. When Britta first began she was hesitant, to say the least, about the water. However, thanks to Beth and Judy's patience, she is now diving into the pool like a champ. Everyone at Healing Waters is friendly, professional, and truly cares about each dog that comes in. Our experience has surpassed our expectations and Britta and I cannot thank them enough for all they have done.
