Water way to go! Editor's note ... Daley, my 15-year-old rescue dog, suddenly became lame, to the point we had to carry him. A visit to the vets confirmed an Osteoarthritis diagnosis which is now being managed by a monthly injection and his hydrotherapy sessions, both of which are working really well.
Why canine hydrotherapy When dogs aren't moving, they lose muscle very quickly. Hydrotherapy helps them work their joints, maintain muscle mass, and move around comfortably all while minimising their discomfort. Warmer water is typically used for such therapy or recovery sessions as it helps loosen tight muscles
