This summer we have been taking Kylie, our spokesmodel and love of our lives, for weekly swimming sessions. Kylie is 14 and still very spry and we just want to keep her that way, so we looked into swimming as a great form of low-impact exercise. We found it at Canine Rehabilitation & Conditioning Group.
CRCG‘s programs focus on enhancing and improving a dog’s life and physical abilities through exercise, recreation, and rehabilitation. Not only is water a great way to exercise for young and old dogs alike: It can also help dogs recover after certain operations or injuries, and improve other physical issues. They offer hydro therapy in the Endless Pool, which is where Kylie swims, and an underwater treadmill, as well as massage and acupuncture services for dogs and cats. And for recreational purposes they have Denver’s first and largest above ground, heated, indoor pool. It’s 26F x 18F and four feet deep and as you can see, big fun!
So if you think your pet could benefit from hydro therapy or just a big splash, check into similar facilities in your area. It has been great for Kylie!
