Underwater Treadmill

The Underwater Treadmill is a treadmill is a treadmill that is contained in a water tight chamber. This has several advantages for the animal and owner. The water helps to support the weight of the animal and reduces stress on the animal's joints. This means that animals who may not be able to support themselves outside of the tank yet can walk in the underwater treadmill. The water provides additional resistance when the animal moves, so the animal can get more of a workout in less time. The animal can relax with the water jets after his workout. Most animals love the underwater treadmill!

How It Works

The animal enters the chamber, usually with a Technician accompanying them, and the door is closed. The Therapist determines how much water is put into the chamber, and the chamber is filled. Once the water is in the chamber, the treadmill is started and the animal can have a great workout!

The chamber has clear windows on all 4 sides so your animal can see out and you can see in. You can clearly see how well your animal is moving, and, of course, you can reach in and give your animal treats during his workout as well.

Conditioning:

The Underwater Treadmill is an excellent tool for getting your animal into shape. Fitter animals are less likely to be injured; fitter animals are faster; fitter animals are slimmer and at less risk from obesity related problems.

Boarding

Animals who are boarded at Loving Touch Animal Center now have access to using the Underwater Treadmill while boarding.

In addition, the animals are less likely to be bored during their stay, and are less likely to exhibit stress behavior, if they get extra exercise.
