Like people, pets often face an uphill battle when it comes to recovering from an injury, health condition, or surgery. Pet rehab can expedite the healing process to make this journey easier for your dog. At Valley Animal Rehabilitation in Montclair, we use multiple therapies to support your pet’s recovery, one of which is pet hydrotherapy. Veterinary hydrotherapy has proven to be highly effective in restoring muscle strength after an injury without putting undue pressure on your pet’s joints.
Uses of Pet Hydrotherapy
As your pet grows older, he may develop mobility problems due to inflammation, arthritis, hip dysplasia, and other debilitating conditions. Veterinary hydrotherapy can relieve painful symptoms while providing a way for your pet to get the exercise he needs. Hydrotherapy helps relax tense muscles, increases your pet’s coordination, and improves his balance so he can move about with greater flexibility. These improvements in your pet’s mobility can give him a higher quality of life during his senior years.
If your dog is recovering from an injury or surgery, hydrotherapy can quicken his healing. The sooner your pet is able to start this therapy, the sooner he can recover his health, stamina, and mobility. Hydrotherapy can also help overweight dogs get back in shape to avoid developing health issues. Veterinary hydrotherapy can even help with stress relief by helping your dog feel calm and relaxed.
