Pool4Paws Canine Hydrotherapy & Rehabilitation Centre based in Devon.
Canine hydrotherapy also known as (Aquatic therapy) allows dog’s to do exercises in the water to help gain strength, increase the range of motion and endurance while reducing the risk of injury. In water the dog is able to contract its muscles without having to bear weight on them. Dog Hydrotherapy Pools has become very popular in recent years.
