Canine Treadmills for the dog

Underwater canine treadmills for dogs and canine hydrotherapy produce excellent results and for several reasons:

​​

  • Dogs exercise in warm water which improves circulation and reduces pain.

  • Depth of water can be varied so that the dog is supported regardless of size, thus reducing joint pain from impact.

  • The belt speed of canine treadmills can be varied from 0 to 5mph thus dogs with extreme conditions can be safely treated under carefully controlled parameters.

  • Belt speed changes are extremely smooth.

  • Hydrostatic pressure and a temperature of 28C have a natural beneficial effect on swollen joints.
