Water therapy can be a great source of exercise and healing for your dog. Some vets have already discovered the physical and mental benefits of water therapy for dogs like the Dachshund. Some vets even provide physical therapy exercise classes for dogs in recovery from broken or sprained bones. In fact, hydro therapy for dogs is becoming a popular form of treatment. This particular type of physical therapy can help a Dachshund’s muscles relax, stretch and soften, and grow back at a faster rate. If your Dachshund has an injury or simply has arthritic hips, talk to your vet about adding hydro therapy. Your dog may need nothing more than routine water exercises to stretch the muscles. Most pools used are heated water temperatures, non chlorinated treated water, jets, and other safety features. Talk to your vet Murrieta CA about water therapy and other physical therapy services available.
