TL;DRAbstract

Hydrotherapy is a relatively new area when it comes to treatment and prevention of different problems in dogs, but an area that is growing in popularity. In Sweden, the person who performs hydrotherapy on dogs doesn’t need veterinary education, which is the case in some other countries. What makes hydrotherapy advantageous is that water has an ability to provide an environment where injured body parts can be supported, which means that rehabilitation can start early without the risk of affecting the injury and in the same time relieve the pain for the patient. There are only a few studies of hydrotherapy on dogs and these studies focus on the physical health of the dog. For instance there are studies that show that hydrotherapy can improve joint function in dogs with cranial cruciate ligament rupture. Studies of hydrotherapy on humans are more common and show that hydrotherapy for instance can be beneficial on osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. \n\nFrom an ethological- and animal welfare
