5 Myths About Canine Aquatic Therapy and the Truth Behind Them | Canine Aquatic Center
Canine aquatic therapy is a growing trend in the world of pet rehabilitation. However, there is still a lot of misinformation surrounding this type of therapy. Are you considering aquatic therapy for your furry friend but have heard some myths that are making you hesitant?
Canine aquatic therapy is a form of physical therapy for dogs that uses the buoyancy of water to reduce the weight on their joints and muscles, providing a low-impact exercise that can aid in their recovery from injuries or surgeries. Despite its many benefits, there are still some myths surrounding aquatic therapy that are causing confusion for pet owners.
As a pet owner, it’s important to know the truth about canine aquatic therapy and the benefits it can provide for your furry friend. In this article, we will debunk some of the most common misconceptions about this type of therapy and provide you with the facts you need to make an informed decision about your pet’s rehabilitation.
Myth 1: Hydrotherapy is only for dogs recovering from an injury This is not true! While hydrotherapy has proven to be a great tool for rehabilitating and strengthening injured dogs, it can also be beneficial for healthy, active dogs. Regular sessions of aquatic therapy can help strengthen muscles, increase flexibility and range of motion, improve joint health, enhance balance and coordination, aid in weight loss, and improve the overall quality of life. So, no matter the shape or size of your pup, hydrotherapy can provide many physical and mental benefits.
Myth 2: Hydrotherapy is only for large dogs This is not true! In fact, canine aquatic therapy can be beneficial for all sizes of dogs. Smaller dogs can benefit from hydrotherapy just as much as larger breeds. Although the size of the pool may vary depending on the size of your pup, aquatic therapy is an excellent way for all sizes of dogs to increase strength, flexibility, and balance.
Myth 3: Hydrotherapy is expensive This couldn’t be further from the truth! Many canine hydrotherapy centers offer affordable prices and packages to fit any budget. Additionally, most facilities provide discounts for multiple sessions, making hydrotherapy a cost-effective way to improve your pup’s physical and mental health.
Myth 4: Hydrotherapy is dangerous This is completely false! As long as it is performed under the supervision of a certified professional, hydrotherapy is a safe and effective way to improve your pup’s physical health. Certified canine aquatic therapists understand how to work with each individual dog in order to maximize the benefits of each session.
Myth 5: Swimming at home is the same as swim therapy While swimming at home may be a great way to have fun with your pup, it is not the same as hydrotherapy. Hydrotherapy is a specific type of physical therapy that utilizes special techniques and equipment designed to maximize the benefits for each individual dog. Canine aquatic therapists are also trained in how to best work with each individual pup, providing them with the most effective and safe swim session.
