Frisky Pup
Canine Hydrotherapy & Fitness
Hydrotherapy for humans has been around for centuries and it is now becoming popular for dogs. Hydrotherapy uses the properties of water to make exercise and healing easier. We are here to offer this water therapy to our four legged companions in Edmonton and area.
We want to help you reach your goals with your canine companion - whether that is therapy, swimming, confidence, mobility, etc.
At Frisky Pup, we are committed to helping our clients reach their hydro goals.
Welcome to Frisky Pup Canine Hydrotherapy and Fitness!
Hydrotherapy
This session* is therapeutic in nature. The Hydrotherapist will be in the water with your dog and will assess what needs to be done to work on specific areas of concern. Canine rehabilitation and pain management in Alberta may differ from session to session and will change in duration according to the specific needs and condition of your dog. Depending on owner comfort and stress level of the dog, the owner may be invited to join the K9 Hydrotherapy session in the pool. This is not a requirement only an option.
Puppy Learn to Swim
This is one or more sessions* (no more than 6) that are aimed at familiarizing your pup with the water and teaching it how to swim properly and safely. It is important to remember that just like any of us, some are more comfortable in the water than others and some take to swimming quicker as well. Dogs are not born with the ability to swim. If your dog is splashing, flailing and snorting with it’s paws continually slapping the surface of the water, chances are good that your dog needs a few lessons.
Since we actually enter the water with our clients, we are able to provide support and manipulation of body position that will help them develop confidence. This confidence will provide a more positive and effective learning experience. Please feel free to call for more information.
Fun Swim with Owner
Canine water fitness in Edmonton offers a session* where the owner and their four legged friend get enjoy some play time in the pool. Fun and unstructured yet still improving canine fitness. However, this cannot include the dog jumping into the pool from the ledge as it is not always the best idea for the health of the animal.
The Hydrotherapist will accompany you for the first session to assess the ability and comfort level of your pup in a pool setting.**
The fun swim, like all others, requires a veterinary clearance form regarding the general health of your pup prior to booking.
