DogSwim Canberra: Hydrotherapy Session Process
Before the session:
- Please do not feed your dog at least one hour before and after the session
- Please bring a towel to dry your dog and an extra blanket for the car if the weather is cold
- Please let the hydrotherapist know if there has been a change in your dog's health since the last appointment
- Please ensure that your dog's vaccinations are up to date
- Please wear clothes which will not be damaged by water
During the session
- Please arrive 10-15 minutes early and walk your dog around in the car park to warm up muscles and to allow the pooch to urinate and/or defecate (please ensure that you clean up after your dog).
- Session duration is anywhere between 15 - 30 minutes.
- On arrival your dog will undergo a brief health check
- Your dog will then be fitted with a buoyancy (floating) jacket or harness.
- When starting out most dogs are in the water for a very short time (a few minutes) - the length of time will be increased as your dog's health/fitness improves.
Please postpone the session if your dog:
- Is a bitch in season
- Has an open wound that would be in the water
- Is suffering from diarrhoea or vomiting (very important!)
- If the water has to be drained, it takes at least a full day to drain, fill and get the water up to the correct temperature.
