LapdogH2O Canine Aquatic Therapy

One of the hardest things to do is to watch your companion dog began to fail, and not know how to help him. I was recommended to Jill and her team at LapdogH2O by a friend of mine. Jill runs her water therapy in 30 minute sessions, which is more than enough time for a dog to get his legs stretched out and build a little bit of muscle each week. My Riley was a large terroir-mix who initially suffered from torn and inflamed ACL’s, and then muscle and joint deterioration as he aged. He had water therapy nearly every week for well over a year. Jill has a great team and safety for the dog is there number one concern. But they make it fun also. While Riley would be exhausted when he got out of the pool, the next day he would seem lighter on his feet and more stable . Missed weeks of therapy were noticeable in his gait. If you’re thinking whether water therapy can help your dog. I would suggest that you try it. For me, it was well worth the money to help Riley stay with us awhile longer. Recently, I had to let him go, but I know in my heart I did everything I could to help him.

Our family gives Jill and her team our highest recommendation. We brought our 2.5 year old rescue dog, Gus, to Jill so he could learn how to swim. He had fallen into our pool by mistake and was terrified of the water. He also had lots of anxiety issues with new people so we were concerned. From the very beginning, Jill made sure Gus felt safe and secure. She earned his trust and got him into the pool. She went slowly and after several lessons, she incorporated the whole family into the therapy sessions so that the pool became a fun and safe place for him. By the end, Gus was swimming with the family in the pool and chasing his favorite dog toy. We saw Gus blossom into a confident and happy dog in the pool. We also took him to the dog beach and his confidence around water transferred to the ocean. We are thoroughly enjoying swim time with Gus in the pool and at the beach! We are so thankful to Jill and her team for being so patient and attuned to our Gussy bear.

This review has been long overdue. LapdogH2O has been a wonderful experience and know how to take care of your furry loved one. They will treat your pet with respect and make sure that they are comfortable throughout the therapy process. Not only did they help with my dogs situation, but they are loving and caring and are there for you. I highly recommend LapdogH2O and hope to bring my other dog to them in the near future.

Jill and her team at LapdogH2o are wonderful! My dog, Willie, needed to lose weight and with the help of Lapdog, she was able to lose thirty pounds! I really do think they added years to her life physically and mentally. The team is so dedicated and really seem to love what they do. They cheer your dog on the full session, are equipped with every size life jacket for your pup, and have all the toys to keep your dog entertained. The pups even get treats at the end after all their hard work. Thank you, Jill, and everyone at Lapdog for making Willie’s life a healthier and happier one!
