She said: “I just wanted to see if this was something I could do because this could definitely save other people’s pets — it saved Rubi.
“This isn’t about making money, it’s about saving people’s pets. They are like children to some people.
“I just want to do something I love every day and help treat dogs around Tayside.’’
Vikki said hydrotherapy can help dogs with a number of conditions including obesity, muscle pain, ligament injuries, fractures, hip replacements, cruciate ligament disease and patella luxation.
HydroPetz is set to open next week at Unit 22, North Wellington Street.
