Hydrotherapy, also known as water therapy, is an effective method for improving health by utilizing water for therapeutic purposes. Exercising in water offers buoyancy and resistance, enabling muscle strengthening and conditioning without impacting the joints. Immersion in hot water can dilate blood vessels, alleviate joint and muscle tension, and contribute to the healing process of injuries. For active dogs and other highly energetic breeds, engaging in recreational hydrotherapy can enhance stamina, endurance, muscle strength, and athletic performance, and aid in the prevention of muscle strain and injuries.

At Lucky Dog, we use hydrotherapy solely for conditioning purposes. We are not a rehabilitation facility and cannot provide therapy for dogs recovering from injuries. If a dog has a previous history of injuries, we require a veterinarian's note stating that they are cleared for this type of exercise. We highly encourage all dog parents to be proactive and utilize this resource to keep their dogs fit, maintain a healthy weight, and ensure they get proper exercise.
