Pooch Hydrotherapy & Warm Water Swimming

Welcome to Pawsitively Pooched; the only pooch daycare in Calgary with a pool and a team of trained canine hydrotherapy and warm water dog swimming therapists! 


Does your pup have hip or shoulder dysplasia, arthritis, a torn ligament or joint, or spinal issues? Are they healing from recently losing a limb or some other major surgery? Have you noticed your dog is spending more time in bed, and less time running outside?


Hydrotherapy and warm water dog swimming is the perfect way for them to regain mobility, gain strength, and improve stamina without ever putting any painful weight on those aging or healing muscles and joints.

Hydrotherapy is not just for aging pups and healing pups! It’s also for dogs who need extra exercise, dogs who need to get back into shape, and dogs who need a fun outlet for all that pent up energy. Whether you’ve got an aging pup, a healing pup, a young pup, or a healthy pup… all dogs can benefit from dog hydrotherapy and warm water dog swimming, Calgary.

A Holistic Approach to Keeping Your Pooch Healthy & Happy

As a loving dog owner, you want to do whatever you can to keep your pooch healthy and happy! Just like they give you love when you’re feeling down, taking them for a nice warm water swim with a trained hydrotherapist is a great way to show them love when they’re feeling down. Help your Pawsitively Pooched pup regain their mobility, balance, endurance and strength with warm water hydrotherapy for dogs. 


Hydrotherapy works like this; when your pup is submerged in water, floating, their body weight is supported by the water. So, a pup that weighs 100 lbs on solid ground will only experience about 38 lbs of that weight in the water. This takes the load off of the joints that are supporting their weight, allowing them to freely flex their muscles and rotate their joints, without the pain they may be feeling outside the pool. Water warmed to a comfortable 90°F opens those blood vessels up, promoting blood circulation and easing sore muscles.


It’s important to ensure your pup is totally comfortable in our pool before we get started! We’ll never force your dog to swim if they aren’t feeling it; that’s why our consultation is so great! It gives us the opportunity to determine if this therapy is the right fit for your dog. Hydrotherapy is used mostly when dogs are experiencing some sort of bone, joint, muscle, or neurological disease, injury, or illness. It’s recommended by veterinarians so widely because it allows these dogs to work through these injuries and diseases, while minimizing the risk of making things worse.

Benefits of Dog Hydrotherapy and Warm Water Dog Swimming

A 5-minute swim for a dog is equivalent to a 20-minute walk, and our sessions are 30 minutes! For pups who have trouble running on dry land, and dogs with a seemingly endless amount of energy, this is a great opportunity for them to get a great workout in.

Our Prices & Packages

All first time dogs must book a consultation session, each consultation is 45-60mins long for $90. This longer session allows us time to slowly introduce your dog into the pool, we never want to force anything an this allowed us time to work slowly with them to ensure it is a positive experience! Everytime our canine clients purchase 6 session and 12 session Packages, we donate hydrotherapy sessions to local rescue charities, like ARTS Senior Rescue & Pawsitive Match Rescue! Consistent hydrotherapy is the best way to reap the maximum benefits; it’s a major plus that you’re also donating to a great cause!
