The underwater treadmill is a great workout for animals that may need extra muscle building. Working dogs, agility dogs and show dogs can all benefit from the underwater treadmill treatment, which includes a gait analysis from the technician and access to a consistent, safe, well-monitored exercise plan.
The water level can be adjusted as the animal builds stamina to provide less lift and more resistance for muscle development and endurance training. Some animals use the underwater treadmill during the winter to keep in shape for warm-weather activities, when there is a risk of injury from disuse.
