Why Choose Hydrotherapy for Your Dog?

Hydrotherapy is a safe and effective way to improve your dog’s health, whether they’re recovering from an injury or just need a low-impact exercise option. Here’s why it’s beneficial:
1. Gentle on Joints: The buoyancy of water reduces pressure on joints, making it ideal for dogs with arthritis, hip dysplasia, or post-surgery recovery.
2. Builds Strength: Water resistance helps strengthen muscles without overexertion, improving overall mobility and fitness.
3. Pain Relief: Warm water improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and provides soothing pain relief.
4. Weight Management: Hydrotherapy offers a safe way for overweight dogs to exercise and shed pounds.
5. Fun and Stress-Free: Most dogs enjoy splashing around, turning therapy into a positive and enjoyable experience.

Whether your dog needs rehabilitation, fitness training, or pain relief, hydrotherapy offers tailored care with lasting benefits!

Tips for Keeping Your Dog Fit and Healthy
1. Daily Exercise: Make sure your dog gets regular physical activity like walks, runs, or playtime. Tailor the intensity to their breed, age, and health.
2. Balanced Diet: Feed them high-quality food in appropriate portions to maintain a healthy weight. Avoid overfeeding and limit treats.
3. Engaging Activities: Include mental exercises like puzzle toys, agility training, or fetch to keep them mentally and physically sharp.
4. Hydrotherapy: Low-impact sessions are great for dogs with joint issues or those needing extra fitness options.
5. Routine Vet Visits: Regular check-ups ensure your dog stays in top shape and helps catch any health issues early.

A fit dog is a happy dog! Keep them active, engaged, and healthy to ensure a long, happy life together.

Please do not buy. Throw them away if your dog gets one as a gift. Giving rawhide to a dog is never a good idea.

Many of these so called treats end up with the dog "enjoying" some time in a veterinary surgery over Christmas. The vast majority of these rawhide products and treats come from China.

The chews are made from cattle or horse hides and their journey starts with the hides being soaked in a toxic sodium sulfide to remove the hair and fat. More chemicals are used in order to split the hide into layers which is then washed with hydrogen peroxide to give the white "pure" look and remove the rancid smell.

Now comes the pretty festive colors and the glue to form cute shapes. On testing, these chews have shown traces of arsenic, mercury, chromium and formaldehyde.

If that wasn't bad enough, they regularly cause intestinal blockages, poisoning from chemical residue and choking. The chews go slippery when wet and are near impossible to get hold of to save a choking dog.

Did you know..

Hydrotherapy can be an effective treatment for dogs with arthritis, offering several benefits through low-impact exercise in water. The buoyancy of water helps reduce the strain on joints, making it easier for dogs to move without bearing their full body weight.

Regular hydrotherapy can greatly enhance a dog’s quality of life, especially when combined with other treatments like medications, physical therapy, and dietary changes. Any concerns regarding your dogs health we recommend you always consult with your vet first 🐾
