Swim therapy for dogs (and cats too!) is popular, many vets are buying treadmills and offering it as a service. And while it is great exercise, it's not always the go-to solution for pets, especially new Tripawds. Here's a great article by Debbie Gross, one of our canine rehab heroes, who discusses when and why swim therapy would work for dogs, and when you should look at other options. We hope everyone who ever considered swim therapy will read this first.
To Swim or Not to Swim
I still hear so many people recommend swimming as the therapy of choice for so many reasons. And I think more thought needs to be put into this decision other than the thought it is a great activity. . .
