🐾 Post-Hydrotherapy Shenanigans! 💦
At K9 Aquatic Therapy and Conditioning, we love seeing our clients leave their sessions feeling refreshed and energised. Some pups, like little Angus here, take it to the next level with the post-hydrotherapy zoomies and sillies! 🐶✨
Hydrotherapy isn’t just about recovery and conditioning—it’s also about making your pup feel good, both physically and mentally. And sometimes, that means zooming around with pure joy after a session!

🐾 Client Spotlight: Jasmine’s Journey with Hydrotherapy 🐾
Meet Jasmine, our stunning Doberman Pinscher, who has been diagnosed with Wobbler Syndrome. This condition affects the spine and can lead to unsteadiness, wobbling movements, and difficulty walking.
Hydrotherapy is making a big difference in Jasmine’s care by:
💧 Building Strength: The water’s resistance helps strengthen her muscles, giving her better support and stability.
💧 Low-Impact Exercise: It’s easy on her spine and joints while still being an effective workout.
💧 Improving Mobility: Her sessions are helping her regain balance and coordination.
Jasmine inspires us all with her determination and grace as she works toward greater mobility. We’re honored to support her journey! 🐕💙

Does your dog get anxious in new environments? At K9 Aquatic Therapy and Conditioning, we take special care to ensure every pup feels safe and supported during hydrotherapy. Here’s how we help even the most nervous dogs grow in confidence:
🐾 Moving at their pace – Every dog is unique, and we tailor our sessions to their comfort level. Trust and rapport are our first priority.
🐾 Special tools – From tasty treats and lick pads with dog-friendly peanut butter to gradual water fills, we use techniques to keep them calm.
🐾 Joining in – Rick often gets in the treadmill booth, and in some cases, owners join too, giving that extra reassurance.
🐾 A soothing atmosphere – Kind words, gentle encouragement, and calming puppy music set the tone.
It might take a few sessions, but so far, no dog has refused to take the plunge with us!

Wednesday Recovery & Progress
✨ “Healing takes time—Willow’s making strides!” ✨
Today, we’re cheering on Willow as she starts hydrotherapy for her recovery journey, now 5 weeks post-op from rear leg ligament surgery. After some muscle loss and weakness in the area, Willow’s hydrotherapy sessions are designed to gently rebuild her confidence in using her leg while increasing muscle tone and strength.
Hydrotherapy allows her to exercise with controlled, low-impact movement, gradually improving mobility and supporting her recovery. Each session brings Willow closer to feeling strong and steady again, and we’re so proud of her progress! 🐾💙
Also to note, Willow is rocking a snood to help keep her ears dry and to help alleviate moisture build up. It also assists in blocking out distractions for pups to focus. We have snoods on hand for your pup should you need.
