Why three consecutive days?
Experience has shown three consecutive days to be the most beneficial. While swim therapy will accelerate the healing process and produce the environment necessary for healing, the recovery rate of the animal is limited by its own ability to keep up with the treatment. Therefore, the natural ability and comfort level of the animal sets the pace. Some determining factors are the physical fitness and cardio-vascular condition of the animal. During the first days session, the animal begins to utilize muscle groups that may have not been used in years. After the second days session, the animal is profoundly relaxed, so these muscles can be exercised. In most cases, by the third days session, the animal has already begun to build muscle mass. After the initial three visits, your dog is usually much more comfortable and stable.
