Sandy Hodges  .   K9 Hydrotherapist               

Sandy was led to this field after witnessing the ravages of illness and old age on her beloved German Shepherd, Isabelle, who died in October 2007 at the age of 14 from mast cell cancer. Isabelle had severe mobility problems and benefited immensely from swimming. Hydro-exercise contributed to her longevity and the overall quality of her life.

Sandy is committed and devoted to providing aquatic fitness and bodywork for your canine companion.
