Synopsis
This unique dog book explores canine hydrotherapy, rehabilitation and weight management, and how these can improve your dog’s well-being.In the early twentieth century, the use of hydrotherapy was extended from man to man’s best friend: the dog. A type of aquatic exercise, hydrotherapy can help prevent and treat medical problems and pre-/post-operative conditions. Hydrotherapy for dogs can also be used for rehabilitation and maintaining health and fitness.

Obesity is one of the most common issues that the domestic dog faces today, and this canine hydrotherapy dog book brings awareness to the matter, suggesting preventative measures and simple husbandry tips that you can use to safeguard your dog’s welfare. Canine hydrotherapy and weight management programs have brought a genius invention to the dog world - the underwater treadmill - and case studies from Animal Magic Hydrotherapy and Fitness Centre are used here to support evidence of its effectiveness. Supplemented by illustrations and colour photographs.
