amberco canine hydrotherapy boasts the first canine water walker in the country.
This underwater treadmill has variable speed control, and the depth of the water, which is heated, can be quickly and accurately adjusted.
The ability to vary the depth of the water obviously allows us to cater for dogs of differing sizes. However, its major benefit is that it allows us to increase or decrease the water resistance that the dog is walking against, or the amount of the dog's weight which is being borne by its limbs.
Sessions in the water walker are useful for dogs recovering from surgery and many types of injury, and can also help with arthritis, obesity and general fitness training.
