Canine Hydrotherapy

Canine hydrotherapy is a weightless method of exercise for dogs. Being carried out in water of at least 28 degrees, it helps to improve the healing of a variety of conditions. This form of exercise encourages a full range of movement through your dog's joints, whilst the buoyancy of the water supports their entire body weight, making is a painless experience.
