Kylie's K9 Hydrotherapy & Rehab

What is Hydrotherapy?

Hydrotherapy is a style of resistance training and rehabilitation using the therapeutic properties of water. Here at Kylie’s K-9 Hydrotherapy, we use a specially designed treadmill encased in a glass chamber. Once your dog enters the chamber, the door is shut, and water fills the chamber to the level just above the dog’s legs. The water is at the optimum temperature of 28-30 degrees.

This process is a controlled method of exercise which can relieve pain and promote well-being. It also stimulates blood flow and relaxes and eases tight muscles, pain and inflammation.

As part of a rehabilitation plan, hydrotherapy can be used for many reasons. It is useful pre and post-surgery, to manage weight and increase fitness, conditioning, and confidence in the water.

We also welcome clients that are interested in using hydrotherapy for fun and general fitness of their canine companion.

What do I need to bring to my hydrotherapy session?

  • We recommend bringing a towel, so you can keep your dog dry on the way home
  • We provide a life jacket so you do not need to bring one
  • Treats for your dog during their session.

What do I need to do before my hydrotherapy session?

  • Brush/wash your dog before coming to your session and avoid any grooming sprays, oils, powders etc
  • Arrive 10-15 minutes before your session
  • Take your dog to the toilet – we can’t stress this enough. There is nothing worse than having your dog’s hydrotherapy session cut short because we have to dump the water and clean the tank. This can also impact patients after you
  • Give your dog a rest from their normal morning walk on this day, especially if they’re recovering from an injury. A regular walk and underwater treadmill on the same day can sometimes be too much for a recovering dog and they can pull up sore.

Please note: You may get wet so please bear this in mind when preparing for your session.
