Swimming is the perfect activity for all dogs young and old. It provides a non-weight bearing activity which avoids all the stresses and strains of exercising on hard ground. Any dog that is suffering from the conditions listed will benefit from a controlled swimming activity. It will help to build up strength and muscle without risking further injury.

For post-operative dogs hydrotherapy 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 swimming as the soothing effect of the warm water improves circulation and encourages increased mobility in sore, stiff and arthritic joints. Referring vets are given regular feedback on the dogs progression. Owners are welcome to get involved and they will enjoy watching their dog swim in a pleasant and warm environment.
