Our Mission

To provide all animals and pets a second chance at living without pain, minimal medication and living well.

Benefits of Hydrotherapy

The natural resistance of water encourages your dog to work harder during movement, effectively strengthening and toning muscles without the risk of injury associated with high-impact exercises.
Water’s buoyancy reduces stress on joints, allowing for a greater range of motion and facilitating gentle, pain-free movement—ideal for dogs with arthritis or those recovering from surgery.
Warm water used in hydrotherapy sessions helps relax muscles and increase blood circulation, which can alleviate pain and decrease inflammation in affected areas.
Is dog hydrotherapy worth it? Engaging in hydrotherapy provides an excellent cardiovascular workout, improving heart health and endurance without overexerting your dog.
For overweight dogs, hydrotherapy offers a low-impact, high-resistance exercise option that aids in weight loss while minimizing stress on joints.
Hydrotherapy can speed up recovery times by reducing swelling, improving mobility, and strengthening muscles after surgical procedures.
Many dogs find water activities enjoyable, which can reduce stress and anxiety, contributing to overall mental wellness.
Hydrotherapy helps dogs maintain muscle mass and strength, especially for those with limited mobility or chronic conditions that can lead to muscle atrophy.
Hydrotherapy sessions can be customized to target specific injuries or conditions, ensuring effective rehabilitation for dogs with torn ligaments, hip dysplasia, or neurological issues.
The controlled environment of hydrotherapy sessions helps dogs regain balance and coordination, especially after surgeries or injuries that affect motor skills.
