What is Canine Hydrotherapy?
Low Impact. High Mobility. Gentle Recovery.
Canine hydrotherapy is a form of non-weight bearing exercise. The water holds properties which make it a great way to help dogs recover by reducing pressure from the joints. This encourages a greater range of movement and helps with circulation.
Hydrotherapy increases the circulation of white blood cells around the body allowing unwanted materials to be moved through the body better. This is known as lymph drainage and it effectively rids the body of toxins and can improve the immune system.

A Look Inside the Pool
Most dogs arrive unsure about the water. Within a session or two, the warm pool usually becomes the best part of their week. Here is what a visit actually looks like, so you and your dog know what to expect before you arrive.
Nervous swimmers are welcome. Nobody is ever rushed into the pool.
The water creates a weightless environment that reduces the pressure on the joints and muscles. You will know from swimming yourself how much lighter you feel. This is the same for dogs who get to enjoy a hydrotherapy session.
Water resistance builds strength
The slight resistance you get in the water isn’t just beneficial for humans, it has the same impact on dogs. The water resistance helps dogs to tone, build muscle and increase their cardiovascular fitness.
Therapeutic warm water benefits
We maintain the water temperature here at The Canine Rehab Centre as it is hugely beneficial for dogs. The warm water allows the dog’s tissue to become more elastic whilst promoting circulation and relaxation. The warm water can also alleviate pain and help to improve movement. Just like when us humans enjoy a nice warm bath.
Hydrostatic pressure reduces swelling
The pressure surrounding the dog’s body whilst in the water decreases the pain and reduces swelling.
