Our pool was specifically designed for the therapeutic treatment of canine joint disease. Veterinarians agree that swimming is one of the best treatments for arthritis, hip dysplasia, back aches and post surgical rehabilitation in dogs . The process of swimming allows the body to achieve increased mobility in stiff or sore joints as well as building muscle mass around the affected area. Muscle mass not only supports the joint but alleviates the grinding degeneration of the joint as well.
Increased fitness is achieved without the pounding and jarring of other forms of exercise.
This makes hydrotherapy an excellent treatment for dogs recovering from surgery. Carolina Canine's pool offers an alternative to backyard pools and lakes because our pool is heated and has a non-chlorine filtration system that will not cause skin and eye irritation. Even if your dog has a fear of swimming or is not structurally designed for it, we work patiently with your dog to assure its comfort and security. All of our swimmers wear US Coast Guard approved life preservers for their safety. Leashes are initially attached to the preserver to allow us immediate access to your dog while in the pool.
