Reviews
Very therapeutic for my aging dog. He’s has arthritis in his back legs and aquatic therapy had helped with his mobility.
Excellent staff, caring and great communication. Glory is very good at acclimating your pup or chubby kitty. Yes!!! This is a great low impact option for your chubby kitty, ease those joints and trim down with a low impact workouts in nice warm water. Awesome for rehabilitation and maintenance for your sport dog. I come with my Ibby because he is lure coursing Champion and even though we don’t compete as often this time of year we need to keep that endurance up. Mommy isnt a runner and it’s nice to have a low impact workout to keep him in top sprinter condition while gentle on soft tissues, joints and warm water helps keeps those big muscles loose and fluid.
My poor girl has been struggling in this heat, and I’ve also noticed her favoring her back hip. This was a great way to get her more exercise and start to expose her to water.
The staff was fantastic, because she has no experience swimming, they recommended to start her with an underwater treadmill to get her comfortable with water. My dog loves the affection and peanut butter she received. We’ll definitely be coming back!
Our fur toddler (10yrs old), Geo has severely arthritic hind knees and muscle atrophy. We noticed a significant difference in his walks after just 3 weeks on the treadmill. Not only is he stronger and moving better, he loves going to his appointments at Aquatic Paws! Today he went in the pool for the first time. I can’t say enough great things about how much going to Aquatic Paws once a week has and continues to help our Geo.
The best place to rehabilitate your puppy. Chaya, my little pup, had to go to surgery to completely fix her back leg that was broken when i adopted her. And even with that procedure there was a risk she wouldn’t have the leg back 100%. Since she had been restrained for many months i don’t really wanted to keep restraining her after the surgery so i tried to go tho therapy. It worked like a charm and she is now a happy, jumpy, and playful little dog!
