The benefits of Hydro for dogs

so a lot of fly ballers do use hydrotherapy don't

they they do they do and we're very lucky in our area and we have two very local tours so we have a pick of two in the area so it's um one thing i really find is is for the treadmill because obviously you can see through the sides of the treadmill you can see your dog's gait you can see whether they're a a centimeter short on one leg or do you know what i mean it's um really useful tool um i think you can see a lot more slow everything down and you can see a lot more of the gate

yeah it almost uh the water itself magnifies things doesn't it does and slows everything down so and and i think for every um minute on the treadmill underwater is the equivalent to a mile walking um on a on a um on a walk on a leave oh wow okay I didn't know that yeah that's

interesting

yeah I don't know where I got that from I might have dreamt it but um but essentially you're laughing at me now she's

seen me dreams things like that

But yeah, I think for every minute it's equivalent to a mile because they're having to go through the water.

So the gait is the same, but because there's an extra resistance.

So and a lot of places use it for, you know, for humans.

Um, it's, um, you know, revolutionary in terms of the rehabilitation.

I know at the military, um, rehab center in Stanford hall in Leicester, they use a lot of hydrotherapy treadmill underwater treadmills, uh, because it takes the weight off, um, that the person doing the exercise, but still allows you to develop those muscles and that movement and that fitness.

And they use it for resources too.

They do.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Really useful tool.

Yeah.

Yeah, it is.

It's it's really good.

So like, like you say, I send my dog, she goes to hydrotherapy for fitness.

So, and I, and I have Harper, my fly ball dog, the collie, but I also take my nine-year-old German shepherd.

His is, it's not really for fitness or rehab.
