Hydrotherapy for Dogs
Supports Joints Without Strain
Our dog hydrotherapy sessions in Dublin use warm water to create a low-impact environment that’s gentle on your pet’s joints. This reduces pressure while still providing resistance to build strength. Perfect for dogs recovering from injuries, living with arthritis, or needing mobility support without added strain.
Speeds Up Recovery | Ideal Post-Surgery
Hydrotherapy helps Dublin dogs heal faster after cruciate ligament, hip replacement, or spinal surgery. The buoyancy of water allows safe movement, restoring muscle tone and flexibility without overloading the healing joints or tissues. Many local vets recommend it as part of post-surgery rehabilitation.
Relieves Pain & Stiffness
Warm-water hydrotherapy in Dublin offers natural pain relief for dogs with arthritis or stiffness. The heat and gentle resistance improve circulation, reduce swelling, and increase comfort, helping older pets stay active and happy for longer.
Builds Strength & Fitness
Whether your dog is a sporting champion or simply loves long walks, hydrotherapy builds muscle, boosts endurance, and improves coordination. Our Dublin canine fitness sessions are ideal for working breeds, agility dogs, and active pets needing safe, full-body conditioning.
Our Process
Initial Vet Referral & Assessment
We begin every hydrotherapy programme in Dublin with a detailed vet referral and assessment. This ensures the treatment plan is tailored to your dog’s specific condition, recovery goals, and comfort level.
Gentle, Controlled Water Sessions
Your dog will enjoy safe, expertly supervised hydrotherapy sessions in our heated pool or underwater treadmill. The warm water supports movement, reduces strain, and encourages steady progress in a calm, stress-free space.
Progress Tracking
We closely monitor your dog’s improvement, adjusting the plan as needed. Regular progress updates are shared with you and your vet so everyone stays informed on their recovery journey.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is dog hydrotherapy and how does it help?
Dog hydrotherapy is a low-impact, water-based therapy that helps improve mobility, build muscle, and reduce pain. In our Dublin hydrotherapy centre, we use heated pools and underwater treadmills to support dogs recovering from surgery, managing arthritis, or improving general fitness.
How many hydrotherapy sessions will my dog need?
The number of sessions depends on your dog’s condition and recovery goals. Some see improvement after just a few visits, while others benefit from ongoing sessions over several weeks. We work with your vet to create a customised plan.
