If your vet recommends your dog attend hydrotherapy for any reason, you may wonder why this method is preferred to other forms of therapy. Hydrotherapy uses water to help a dog move its joints. Because water makes the body buoyant, your dog’s weight is supported better, and the joints are not stressed as much when moving. At Crazy Bone Pet Spa, our hydrotherapy tub has a treadmill on the bottom, so your dog can continuously walk while supported in a tubful of water. The warm water of the tub can help reduce joint swelling and ease any pain associated with inflammation. Hydrotherapy is a great way to help your dog heal in a controlled environment.
