Treatment with hydrotherapy uses water to improve healing, function, stability and strength for dogs. Our therapist will use the properties of water, within a controlled environment, to provide customised treatment for your dog’s rehabilitation and wellbeing.

At ARC we use a Hydrophysio underwater treadmill for dynamic and static aquatic therapy. The water is heated to between 28-32˚C. This provides thermal therapeutic benefits that help your dog relax, easing muscle tension, reducing joint inflammation and increasing blood and oxygen flow.
