The Dangers of Obesity in Dogs
Excess weight can lead to a range of health problems, including arthritis, diabetes, and decreased stamina. Managing weight through safe exercise is crucial to extending a dog’s lifespan and improving overall well-being.
How Hydrotherapy Helps
Water resistance increases muscle engagement while supporting the dog’s body weight, reducing stress on joints. This makes hydrotherapy ideal for overweight dogs needing a structured exercise plan without the risk of injury.
