It's just water... nope! It's therapy, conditioning, rehabilitation, and so much more! It helps your pet's joints, muscles, and cardiovascular system. But most of all, water is fun! The properties of water (buoyancy, coefficient of friction, hydrostatic pressure, temperature) are so unique that hydrotherapy is considered the "gold standard" of animal rehabilitation. So no matter what you call it, it's not just water! Learn the differences between swimming in a therapeutic pool and walking in an underwater treadmill. How is hydrotherapy different from swimming outside? And which one is right for your pet? Discover tips and tricks for introducing your pet to water safely and positively. Learn what is possible in the water that is not possible on land. But no matter what, just keep swimming!
