Hydrotherapy for dogs provides low-impact exercise and rehabilitation that improves welfare in conditions including arthritis, orthopaedic disease, and post-surgical recovery.
Hydrotherapy enables dogs with painful musculoskeletal conditions to exercise comfortably, maintaining muscle mass and cardiovascular fitness that supports long-term welfare. Dogs that cannot exercise adequately suffer both physically from deconditioning and psychologically from reduced activity. Hydrotherapy provides a welfare-positive rehabilitation tool that extends the period of comfortable, active life.
