Why You Should Consider Hydrotherapy for Your Pets
We are passionate about improving Clifton and Montclair area animals' lives and helping the human families who care for them. If your pet or service animal has undergone surgery, suffered an illness, or otherwise, it could benefit from hydrotherapy. Our pet rehab team at Valley Animal Rehabilitation is ready to help you and your pet. Veterinary hydrotherapy provides muscular, metabolic, and cardiovascular benefits.
What Is Veterinary Hydrotherapy?
Veterinary hydrotherapy uses water to help animals who are going through rehabilitation. We surround your dog with comfortable temperature water, usually up to the shoulders. The buoyancy of the water allows your dog to exercise on our underwater treadmill without the full effect of gravity. We also help your pet perform agility exercises while standing in water or swim in the resistance pool. One of our rehab specialists will be glad to give you a tour of our facility. Many dogs love swimming and being in water. Pet rehab will help your animal recover and enrich your animal's life at the same time.
When Would My Animal Benefit from Pet Hydrotherapy?
Pets who have had surgery will benefit from hydrotherapy. Water buoyancy helps obese or injured pets exercise with less strain on their joints. Water also exerts pressure in every direction, which is known as hydrostatic pressure. Hydrostatic pressure can help reduce swelling and encourages normal movement.
Hydrotherapy helps dogs who are:
- arthritic
- obese
- diabetic or suffering from metabolic diseases
- recovering from orthopedic surgery
- suffering from congenital problems
- experiencing neurological disorders
- sedentary, with limited heart function
