Benefits of hydrotherapy

To assist recovery after an operation
Hydrotherapy is the ideal way to build muscle tone and strengthen joints.
For senior dogs
Older dogs, who suffer from arthritis and whose performance and stamina are beginning to decline can benefit from hydrotherapy treatment. 
Before a planned operation
By building muscle mass before surgery, the dog’s post-operative rehabilitation time will be greatly lessened.
