Second, the pool and the treadmill can use different muscle groups. When a dog swims, they mainly use their front paws, depending on their body weight and abilities.

Water therapy, whether it be swimming or submerged walking, can be very beneficial in the rehabilitation process for many patients. The fun part is figuring out which path to take.
