Frisky Pup Canine Hydrotherapy & Fitness
Hydrotherapy for humans has been around for centuries, and it is now becoming popular for dogs. We are here to offer this amazing therapy to our four-legged companions in the Edmonton area.
At Frisky Pup, we are committed to helping our clients achieve their hydro goals with their canine companion - whether that is therapy, swimming, confidence, or mobility.
A Glimpse of What We Offer
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.
Our Mission
At Frisky Pup, we believe that if it is within our power, then we are responsible for helping to improve the lives of those who touch our own. This may be through rescue, support, volunteering, being vigilant, or even just by showing respect.
