Quality Dog Hydrotherapy in Bundaberg

As you know, at Four Way Kennels & Canine Wellness Centre we care deeply about dogs and we’re certainly not scared to try something new, therefore, after analysing the region’s dog care-related market, we decided that we would put our hands up to provide the Bundaberg region with its first canine Hydrotherapy facility.

 

Whether your dog has sustained an injury or is struggling with a chronic condition such as arthritis, hydrotherapy can provide a safe and effective treatment option for many canine ailments. Benefits include:

• Aiding recovery from surgery or injury

• Providing mental stimulation
• Increasing range of motion 
• Improving balance and co-ordination
• Building muscle strength & endurance

Our Australian made Underwater Treadmill is capable of providing bespoke conditions (including variable temperature, water depth and treadmill speed) allowing treatment to be 100% customised to individual patient needs and our 6m long x 2.2m wide, state-of-the-art heated swim spa with variable speed swim jets allows for an entirely different therapy experience to the Underwater Treadmill.
