Why Water Actually Helps Senior Dogs?
Aquatic therapy offers a gentle and effective way to support the health of senior dogs. The buoyancy of water reduces the stress on joints and muscles, making it an ideal form of exercise for older dogs who may suffer from arthritis, hip dysplasia, or other mobility issues.
Benefits of Aquatic Therapy:
• Reduced Joint Stress: The buoyant properties of water help minimize the impact on joints, allowing for pain-free movement.
• Enhanced Muscle Strength: Regular water exercise helps maintain and build muscle mass, which is crucial for supporting aging joints.
• Improved Flexibility: The resistance of water aids in increasing the range of motion, keeping your senior dog more agile.
• Pain Relief: The warm water used in aquatic therapy can soothe sore muscles and reduce inflammation.
• Increased Endurance: Gentle water workouts can help boost cardiovascular health and overall stamina.
