Meet Woodrow. His pet mom, Brandi, started to do hydrotherapy with Woodrow in their pool. Woodrow was a little nervous about the plan, but he's slowly warming up to it.
Here are 2 important tips if you want to do hydrotherapy at home:
1. The water should as close to 90 degrees as possible. Warm water creates buoyancy and resistance along with a scientific principle called “hydrostatic pressure,” that gets dogs moving.
2. Use a doggie lifejacket at all times. This will keep your dog's head above of the water, and it will help you move your pup easily through the water.

Have a great weekend!

This is how Olivia entertains herself when it's too hot to play outside.

Hope you have a very HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

Roscoe's family shared this video several years ago. It shows the early signs of Degenerative Myelopathy. I don't think there's a better video to watch if your dog's been diagnosed with DM.
