anythingoes 28 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 After talking to a few guy's on THL and at various shows , dog hydo-therapy has arose a few times , so after doing a bit of research Keano and myself found a pool local to ourselfs . Superb , I was a bit sceptical at first as my vet says that for every minute to a minute and a half . It is the same as walking for a brisk mile , so to say the least I wanted to see this with my own eyes , well i know swimming is great excercise but i never realy realised actually how much work the dog puts in , well in saying that I would say its because they werent used to it , splashing ,panting this was halariouse but in the same time great excercise . Keano has photos which he should hopefully post. I take it the more they are at it the better they will get , there where dogs there that could swim for scotland from staffys , greyhounds to ridge backs I think i'v found my new dog treat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

undisputed 1,664 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Heard it all now...whatever happend to taking your dog out for a walk....I'm surprised your dog never had a heart attack.....get it a fishing rod and maybe it'll catch you a trout ....be a treadmill next and you wont have to go out the door ....when was the last time that dog of yours seen a rabbit????
