If your pup is new to swimming or recovering from an injury, Winter Park hydrotherapy for dogs can help strengthen their mind and body. We’re sharing a few ways hydrotherapy can benefit your pup in the long run.

Helps With Flexibility

If your pup suffers from bone or joint conditions, such as arthritis or dysplasia, Winter Park hydrotherapy for dogs can help with your pup’s flexibility. Since swimming is a non-weight bearing exercise, your pup has the time and space to go at their own pace. Regular sessions can help build muscle tone, loosen joints, increase flexibility, and increase cardiac fitness.

Exercise With a Certified Instructor

When you bring your pup to Rocky’s Retreat for hydrotherapy, we give them the VIP treatment (Very Important Pup). Our certified canine hydrotherapist can guide your pup through recreational swims. We recommend a half hour session for these swims, which gives your pup a continual swim for around 20 – 25 minutes. You can stand by to watch your pup get their workout on or throw a tennis ball for a playful swim.

What sets our hydrotherapy sessions apart from others? 

• We’re Central Florida’s only facility with certified aqua therapists. 
• Our indoor pool is located in a climate-controlled room.
• Our pool is sanitized with ozone.
• We have full liability insurance that is inspected regularly by the health department.
• For therapeutic swims, we take one dog in the pool at a time for safety measures.
• For fun swims, we allow multiple dogs, at our discretion, to enjoy the pool together. 

It Can Help With Your Pup’s Mental Health

Regular exercise like hydrotherapy can also reduce your pup’s stress, pain, and anxiety. Getting your pup in motion in the pool is a way to naturally reduce and prevent inflammation and promote blood circulation. Swimming is considered to be an ideal exercise for recovery since it’s a low-impact activity for your pup.
