Hydrotherapy has become an increasingly vet-recommended service for many different
types of dogs. No longer just for those dogs who are recovering from injury
or surgery, swimming sessions have also been proven to greatly improve a dog’s
weight reduction plan, or just increase strength and mobility in the arthritic
or older dog.
Hydrotherapy is also fantastic for those dogs who work or play
competitively, like service dogs, hunting dogs & agility dogs. The warm
water combined with a gentle, no-impact workout can greatly ease and invigorate
sore muscles.
The young dog with lots of energy to burn is also an ideal match
for a warm, indoor pool when inclement weather means less playtime. A minute
swim time burns roughly the same amount of energy as a mile run. After a 20
minute swim, who could be naughty or noisy after that kind of workout?
Although
The Feed Bag Fitness pool offers a no-impact workout in sanitary conditions
that are always supervised, we do advise you to check with your veterinarian
if you have any question that swimming is right for your dog. We welcome your
veterinarian’s call with any questions or concerns. We cannot offer you medical
advice, we can only provide a safe atmosphere for your dog’s exercise and enjoyment.
Appointments
are definitely required. Please don’t get your dog excited to go
swimming without an appointment.
We have calming techniques to
ease any fears your dog (or you) have regarding the water. We do
realize that not all dogs have experience swimming, and we will
coach your dog accordingly.
We supply a quick shower for your dog
both before and after the swim, as well as damp-drying with a
towel. You may want to consider using our Do-It-Yourself DogWash
after a swim for a complete bath & dry.
While swimming, your
dog will be wearing a life preserver provided by us. Some dogs
may graduate to the privilege of skinny dipping. Your dog will
always be under staff supervision In our pool. Current Wisconsin
law requires that only Feed Bag Staff members are allowed in the
pool with your dog, but you are encouraged to watch and enjoy (and
stay dry).
The cost is $25 per 30 minute session. The session will
alternate active swimming with rest or break periods. Swim packages available, prepay 4 swims and get the 5th FREE.
At The Feed Bag, your pet’s Health, Safety & Welfare is our
highest Priority.
