Benefits
Whether the goal for your beloved pet is to maintain optimal physical and psychological health, or help prevent injuries or recover post surgically - we can help you to incorporate a program for 'The Total Dog'.
Our services are an ideal support system for your dog's general well-being or specific health challenge.
For injured, ill or weight challenged pets, we work closely with you and your veterinarian (as indicated), to put together a program that will meet your dog's potential for optimal mental and physical soundness.
Therapeutic swimming and exercises should be approved by your veterinarian, then carefully performed and monitored by trained personnel only.
Evidence of the many health benefits of warm water therapy is growing, and there is no substitute for a proper exercise program.
