 | How can Hydrotherapy benefit my dog?
- Relieves pain, swelling and stiffness
- Improves joint mobilisation and increases the range of movement
- Improves muscle strength and maintenance
- Improves circulation
- Improves cardiovascular fitness
Swimming provides a great cardiovascular workout.
Reaching for floating toys, diving to the bottom, or just keeping afloat means your dog's heart will have to work harder than with any other activity.
In the pool the chest is under pressure from the weight of the water squeezing inwards. Each breath requires more effort, particularly when breathing in. The muscles around the chest have to work harder when your dog is swimming, and short, regular dips in the pool will improve your dog's whole respiratory system.
