Swim to Recovery: Canine Hydrotherapy Healing

This unique book explores canine hydrotherapy, rehabilitation and weight management, and how these can improve your dog's well-being. A type of aquatic exercise, hydrotherapy can help prevent and treat medical problems and pre-/post-operative conditions in dogs, and can also be used for rehabilitation and maintaining health and fitness in your dog. Obesity is one of the most common issues that domestic dogs face today, and this book brings awareness to the matter, suggesting preventative measures and simple husbandry tips that the owner can use to safeguard their dog's welfare. Supplemented by illustrations and colour photographs of patients undergoing rehabilitation, this book is ideal for all dog owners.
