Canine Hydrotherapy

Canine Hydrotherapy uses the properties of water to aid in rehabilitation of painful joints, injured or healing structures, reduce inflammation and strengthen and maintain muscle mass. The underwater treadmill uses the properties of water to the advantage of the dog with the speed, depth of water and resistance being easily controlled and adjusted as required.

Canine Fitness & Conditioning

Canine conditioning can be tailored to various needs and goals. It can help build confidence in timid dogs, improve proprioception, balance, and posture in puppies, and enhance strength, posture, and mobility in older dogs. For family pets, general fitness routines maintain overall health, while weight loss programs focus on core strength and joint mobility. Conditioning also strengthens the bond between owners and dogs and can be made engaging through pattern and movement games. For sports-specific needs, conditioning improves strength, flexibility, joint stability, and balance. Additionally, conditioning plays a key role in injury prevention.
