The benefits of swimming for dogs are very similar to those for humans. Swimming involves almost all of the muscles required for movement, without the concussive stresses of walking or running. Also, because water resistance is greater than air resistance, the muscles have to work harder.
Swimming has the benefit of achieving this level of work on the muscles, improving strength and tone and working the cardio-vascular and respiratory systems, without the impact of unsupported exercise, with the associated damage that can cause.
In fit dogs, swimming , can be used as a supplementary form of exercise to improve strength and stamina.
Hydrotherapy in our heated pool provides a soothing, non-weight bearing way to increase strength and movement and can help towards:
• Chronic pain
