Jemma has always had a passion for animals and has kept dogs and horses all her life

She decided to make a career out of animals, so went on to study at Equine science at University in Gloucestershire. It was while studying here that she discovered the benefits of rehabilitating and fittening animals with water (hydrotherapy). Moving to Bellerby gave Jemma the opportunity to pursue setting up Wensleydale Dog Hydrotherapy which has developed into Wensleydale Dog Pool and Fitness Centre. Jemma trained at the renowned Greyfriars Veterinary Rehabilitation and Hydrotherapy Referrals Centre in Guildford, Surrey, qualifying in September 2016 as a small animal hydrotherapist.
