For aging or injured dogs that have difficulty moving around or seem stiff, slow, or in pain when walking, a dog hydrotherapy pool provides a gentle exercise option. The warm water and massage jets offer relief, while the buoyancy and resistance helps build strength without taxing fragile limbs.
Dogs with conditions like arthritis, hip dysplasia, elbow dysplasia, recovery from surgery or injuries, and more can benefit from hydrotherapy. The controlled aquatic environment improves range of motion, flexibility, balance, strength, and coordination. It also elevates mood through providing an enjoyable activity.
