We were at the Doggie Dome Swim Spa in New
Durham, NH. I first visited the Doggie
Dome two years ago when my youngest dog Eddie had ACL surgery. Eddie had swim
therapy for several weeks after his surgery. Swimming is a wonderful way to exercise
without the stress of weight bearing. Because
of the increased resistance to movement, a 5 minute swim is equivalent to about
a 5 mile run. The buoyancy of water supports and lessons stress on the joints and provides a safe environment for exercise.
Now that my dogs are getting older and
all three have issues with arthritis, they are all getting the benefits of
swimming in the warm water at the Doggie Dome.
Swimming at The Doggie Dome Swim Spa can be for therapeutic purposes or just for fun. Also a great place to teach your puppy or adult dog to learn to swim! Please check

Hi Joanne,
ReplyDeleteLooks like the dogs are enjoying it and I imagine you can join them in that nice warm water. That would feel good right now as winter lingers on. Thanks for all the relevant and helpful dog info on your blog. Sometimes it is hard to sort out all the available information on the Web, and you help sort it out.

Wish there was something like this closer to home. Pups would love it.
