At Summerhill Canine Hydrotherapy in Worthing, their pool is an indoor pool heated to a comfortable 30 degrees. The pool is accessed via a side entrance, ensuring a private and exclusive experience for you and your pet. They also offer a 'sensitive dog' entry and exit option, so you can have peace of mind that your dog will not come into contact with other dogs if needed.
The pool features steps designed for easy access, with a landing platform for your dog to rest on between swims. It is equipped with an anti swim jet, which has multiple benefits. It increases sensory awareness, promoting reflex swimming responses in dogs with neurological damage. Furthermore, it also adds resistance, allowing dogs to increase their fitness and strength.
This is particularly beneficial for canine athletes and working dogs that require a high level of fitness.
Hydrotherapy at Summerhill Canine Hydrotherapy is a form of treatment that utilises the properties of water to rehabilitate and improve an animal's function. It takes place in a heated and sanitised pool, providing a safe and comfortable environment for your dog. This treatment is especially beneficial for dogs with medical conditions or those who have undergone surgery.
The hydrotherapy pool allows dogs to exercise in a non weight-bearing environment, relieving pressure on their joints and reducing pain. It also encourages movement and helps with rehabilitation. If necessary, the water height in the aquatic treadmill can be adjusted to precisely control the amount of weight-bearing as the animal strengthens or recovers.
Water has a cushioning and protective quality, reducing the risk of injury. It also provides resistance, making it harder for dogs to move forward when swimming. This helps improve their strength and cardiovascular fitness.
