Had it not been for the Hydrotherapy Pool
my Chum might have died.
Chum had an operation and the vet advised us that swimming would be beneficial in his recovery. We had never heard of canine hydrotherapy before but we took him and indeed within weeks you could see the difference. His flexibility had improved and the swelling around his joint was nearly gone and he seemed so much more comfortable.
The hydrotherapy centre to which I was taking Chum unfortunately closed down and the nearest pool which was in Southampton had a six month waiting list. My own concerns following Chums operations thankfully convinced me how essential it was to take action. The miracle of his recovery gave me the inspiration to go out and learn everything about the benefits of a hydrotherapy pool and provided me with the spark to seek funding to start my own business.
Swimming provides a great cardiovascular workout.
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.
