WHAT IS HYDROTHERAPY?
As the term suggests, hydrotherapy is water therapy that enables your pet to exercise without stressing their joints and the rest of their body. Water offers resistance and buoyancy, which enables gentle muscle conditioning and strengthening. It can boost your pet's stamina, encourage cardiovascular output and rebuild muscle mass. It has countless other benefits for dogs and cats, and can treat ailments such as:
-
Muscle atrophy
-
Retraining
-
Arthritis
-
Obesity
-
ACL injuries
-
Early limb use
