Did you know not all dogs can swim? Tilly took to it naturally being a retriever but not all do.

Some try “stand” on top of the water with their front paws, which makes lots of splashes!

Some don’t kick their back legs causing their hind end to drop well below the water line.

Put the two together and the dog ends up being vertical in the water rather than horizontal, meaning they don’t move anywhere fast no matter how hard they kick.

This uses up a lot of their energy, increasing fatigue and their risk of going under.

Puppy water confidence sessions are crucial for safety, especially around the canals near Chorley. Only a few sessions are hopefully needed to ensure your dog can swim for a period of time correctly and efficiently, whilst you get them to an area they can get out.

Who needs 4 legs to swim! Hydrotherapy in a pool is a great way for 3 legged dogs to exercise and move their limbs in a way that they can’t on land. Three legged dogs with a front limb missing, will load the remaining front limb with 60% of their body weight! This is double the amount of weight that it usually supports!

This can overload the muscle and joints of the remaining limb. Hydrotherapy can help improve flexibility of the shoulder, range of motion in the elbow and strengthen stabilising muscles in the carpus (wrist).

Core and hindlimb biomechanics also change so we work to help balance and strengthen them too.

Did you know I’m also a visiting lecturer at Myerscough College 🥰 I am passionate about education and spreading the word about how physiotherapy and hydrotherapy can help all pets. Every few months I’m invited to run a 3 hour lecture to help inspire and educate veterinary nurses on how their roles can be crucial in managing different conditions in clinic more therapeutically. With the help of my Vizsla Mia of course. 🥰

Hydrotherapy is great for dogs with elbow problems and here is why:

•The buoyancy and weightlessness of the water helps them move the elbow through a range of motion that may not be possible on land.

• This helps gently lubricate the whole joint and improve muscle mass surrounding the elbow and shoulder to help support elbow function.

• We’re also working the shoulder to improve flexibility as it can get stiff from a reduced stride length on land.

Don’t worry about the mess of bathing your dog at home. Just let me know at your hydrotherapy session if you want me to add a £5 shampoo and conditioner wash to the end of their session. You can have a smell of all the shampoos and pick your scent. 🥰

With the muddy season approaching, please can you check your shoes before coming in the hydrotherapy pool room. If they are a little muddy, that’s no problem just pop the boot protectors on to stop muck getting in and around the pool. I do enough cleaning already as it is 😂

You can also use them to stop your nice shoes getting wet too!!!
