Dog Hydrotherapy is not just for overweight pets or stiff joints and arthritis.  Water therapy is used in treating illness and injuries but also provides a great way to help even healthy dogs stay in optimal shape. Moreover, it helps to prolong a pet’s quality of life as they get older. Hydrotherapy hastens healing, loosens tight muscles, increases coordination, and improves balance as well as increases stamina and flexibility. It also provides a good overall cardiovascular workout.
