Canine swim therapy

[wolfsoul]

Has anyone tried it? I think I may have found a place in here that does it. I don't plan on my future dogs having any joint problems, but I thought that this could be an extra way to prevent it, plus it would be fun! I've seen it being done on TV and thought it was very interesting. Does anyone know if your dog needs to have a physical problem to take place in it? Anyone done it before?

Yes!

When poor Graham took a bad tumble off his porch/deck,he broke his wrist or elbow and it had to be fused;
then he wore a cast for quite a while.
Result was his leg atrophied (correct term ??) and he need Physical Therapy.

Mom (Miz Leslie {AdoreMyDogs}) found a K-9 Therapy Center that had
a Water Tank & Tread Mill...
And I think the Graham *LOVED* it!

I'll search and see if I can find the Graham Threads...
