How many hydrotherapists does it take to swim a chihuahua x yorkie?
Despite her small size Effie needs one of us to support and guide her in the water while the second hydrotherapist monitors her back legs checking for range of movement, power and stability.

When we are treating patients we look at the whole dog from every angle.
This is Badger in the water treadmill. He has hip dysplasia which can cause compensatory issues in the back, neck and even the forelimbs if not correctly managed.
Note: harness off for video but 2 hydrotherapists plus owner present for safety.

These adorable daschund puppies are Barney, Luna and Remi.

All of their owners are being very proactive and have started hydrotherapy to improve their core strength to reduce their risk of intervertebral disc disease.

When choosing a dog it is important to research what health conditions they are prone to as well as their temperament, exercise needs, breed traits, grooming needs, expected size, cost of care etc.

I hope that all our clients and followers pets are coping with the fireworks. Feel free to share tips that help your dog in the comments.

Remember that increased noise sensitivity can be a sign of pain so keep a close eye on your pets for changes in their behaviour.
