Swimming improves general fitness and stamina in a gentle form compared with other forms of exercise, and helps to develop muscle tone. It's an ideal way for your dog to recover after an injury or to ease ailments such as arthritis.

Why choose hydrotherapy?

Running and jumping on hard ground puts tension on the joints - each foot fall causes a shockwave to travel up the leg, which is absorbed by bones, tendons, joints and muscles. These stresses repeated on a daily basis are normal and necessary to maintain healthy, strong tissue. However, in the case of injury or illness, they could be causing pain, or long-term damage.

When swimming, your dog is suspended in water and can exercise without the constant pounding that walking and running can cause.
