Inexpensive dog hydrotherapy alternative.mp4

If you have an elderly, arthritic dog like mine, but can't cough up the $75 or more for a hydrotherapy session, this is a good alternative (only in the summer, sadly)

Awww, well your sweet dog has made it to 15 because of your good care! That's wonderful. We finally posted some pics of our dog in his hydrotherapy sessions if you'd like to see his "excited face." : ) We also listed all the supplies we used for others who might benefit at "hyhopes" on wordpress

thank you! your videos are great but I hope to get the time to go through your blog too - lots of great information! Moxie seems to be doing great progress thanks to you. It also looks like you live in a warmer climate, lucky you! The temperature in the North-East is in the 30s these days, not exactly hydrotherapy weather :(

We had the same thought, and purchased this pool too! We just found your video as we were setting up. We will be using a life jacket to keep our guy afloat, and we ordered Neo Paws to keep his toenails from puncturing the sides. Also, ours is in the garage... could turn out to be a bad idea but we'll see. Good luck with your pooch! I'd love to see updates.

thank you! My pooch is over 15 years old now, so no more hydro sessions for him, only lots of hugs and pampering from now on...

I've been trying to copy the link to another Youtube video but I'm getting an error message. Try searching for Dog Hydrotherapy from myfosterdogs. It's another excellent DIY version.

Good luck - let me know how it goes!

Hi barkounsif :)

We're using the blog to track Moxie's progress mainly...but since "professional" hydrotherapy is really expensive, we were thinking readers might be interested in learning the practical aspect/risks of doing this at home too. Thanks for the nice comments!
