Low-Impact Exercise
for Lasting Results
Alpha Animal Rehab & Fitness offers a comprehensive canine weight management program combining low-impact physical exercises with personalized nutritional guidance. Excess weight places greater stress on painful and weak joints, increases the risk for diabetes, and can heighten the risk of disc herniation in certain breeds. Our program helps pets lose weight safely while improving strength, mobility, and overall wellness in a controlled, supportive environment.
A Safe Approach to Weight Loss
Underwater treadmill therapy provides a safe, low-impact way for your dog to exercise and can ultimately help with weight loss. It is very low impact, so injuries can be avoided while working all the major leg muscle groups and moving the joints through a full range of motion. Using an underwater treadmill is an excellent way for dogs to stay in shape, safely and effectively, in a controlled environment. A dog that is in good physical condition is less likely to suffer musculoskeletal injuries.
