Canine hydrotherapy is a form of low-impact, water-based exercise designed to help dogs recover from injury, surgery, or certain health conditions. Sessions are carried out in a warm, controlled pool or underwater treadmill, allowing your dog to move freely without putting extra strain on their joints or muscles.
Hydrotherapy can speed up recovery after surgery, improve mobility, build muscle strength, and ease pain from conditions like arthritis or hip dysplasia. The buoyancy of the water supports your dog’s body, reducing impact on joints while still providing a safe, full-body workout.
Yes — especially if your dog is recovering from an injury, surgery, or has a diagnosed condition. A vet referral helps ensure hydrotherapy is safe and tailored to your dog’s specific needs. If you’re unsure, we can guide you through the process. You can download it here, and take it to your Veterinary practice, or we can help by sending the form directly over.
Your dog will be fitted with a comfortable harness or floatation aid before gently entering the warm pool or treadmill. A trained hydrotherapist will support and guide them, encouraging natural movement in the water. Each session is calm, safe, and adapted to your dog’s confidence level.
Yes — hydrotherapy is often recommended for senior dogs and those with arthritis. The warm water soothes stiff joints and muscles, helping to improve flexibility, reduce pain, and keep your dog active without over-straining their body.
Absolutely. Hydrotherapy can speed up the healing process by increasing circulation, reducing swelling, and gently rebuilding muscle strength. It’s particularly effective for dogs recovering from cruciate ligament surgery, fractures, or spinal issues.
Many dogs who are nervous at first quickly grow in confidence. Sessions are introduced slowly, with plenty of reassurance, treats, and gentle handling. Our goal is to make the experience positive so your dog feels safe and supported every step of the way.
Yes — hydrotherapy is an excellent low-impact exercise for overweight dogs. The resistance of the water helps burn calories and build muscle without stressing joints, making it a safe fitness option for dogs needing to shed a few pounds.
