Reaching for floating toys, diving to the bottom, or just keeping afloat means your dog's heart will have to work harder than with any other activity.
In the pool the chest is under pressure from the weight of the water squeezing inwards. Each breath requires more effort, particularly when breathing in.
The muscles around the chest have to work harder when your dog is swimming, and short, regular dips in the pool will improve your dog's whole respiratory system.
Trover Coats
Whilst your pet is undergoing hydrotherapy it is important to keep them warm after they have been in the pool. We at Four Paws Aqua recommend 'Trover Coats' which we have for sale from £31 each. If you would like more information or you would like to make a purchase please contact us.

Sporting and show dogs benefit too
Owners of racing and show dogs will find swimming exercise invaluable as it keeps their animal in peak physical condition, strengthening and maintaining muscles, which in turn helps to protect them from possible injury.
Puppies and cats welcome too
All animals can benefit from hydrotherapy - here at Four Paws we work with dogs of all ages - puppies absolutely love splashing about and learn to swim well. We never expected to have a cat as a client, but we have! Feline clients who don't hate water are most welcome!
