Dog Wellness
Water Therapy for Dogs
Our Wellness Center features a salt water lap pool set at a cozy 92 degrees. Post operative dogs can come rest their sore muscles and when appropriate, work on muscle toning. Light dog massage and range of motion exercises ease tired hips, knees and elbows.
Swimming is the perfect activity for all dogs young or old. It provides a non weight bearing activity that avoids all the stresses and strains of exercising on hard ground.
Any dog that is suffering from the conditions listed below will benefit from a controlled swimming activity such as water therapy for dogs. It will help to strengthen muscles without risking further injury.
For post-operative water therapy for dogs removes the weight loading on the injured limb and will enable the gradual rebuilding of wasted muscle. It reduces the pain and can accelerate recovery after surgery.
Even ageing dogs can benefit from controlled swimming as the soothing effect of the warm water improves circulation and encourages increased mobility in sore, stiff, and arthritic joints.
Water Therapy is proven to be beneficial for numerous conditions:
- Hip and elbow dysplasia
- Spinal injuries and paralysis
- Cruciate ligament problems
- Post operative muscle regeneration and maintenance
- Sprains and breaks
- Relief of pain, swelling, arthritis, and stiffness
- Obesity and weight management
- Improvement of circulation and joint mobility
- Great for general fitness and for when normal exercise is restricted. Good conditioning for agility, racing and working dogs and SWIMMING JUST FOR FUN!
