why underwater treadmill?
Will it benefit my dog?
Underwater treadmill therapy combines the natural benefits of water with controlled, low-impact exercise to help dogs move more comfortably and build strength while reducing stress on their joints.
During a session, your dog walks on a treadmill inside a specialized chamber filled with warm water. The water provides buoyancy, which reduces the amount of body weight your dog has to support, while gentle water resistance helps strengthen muscles and encourage controlled movement.
This makes underwater treadmill therapy a valuable option for dogs who may have difficulty exercising comfortably on land.
Your dog may benefit from underwater treadmill therapy for:
- Recovery following orthopedic surgery or injury
- Arthritis and age-related mobility changes
- Hip or elbow dysplasia
- IVDD and certain neurologic conditions
- Muscle weakness or loss of muscle mass
- Improving balance, coordination, and range of motion
- Controlled strengthening and conditioning
- Weight management when traditional exercise is difficult
- Senior-dog mobility and maintaining independence
- Athletic conditioning and return-to-activity programs
Why Water?
Water changes the way the body experiences exercise. Buoyancy helps unload painful or weakened joints, while the resistance of the water makes the muscles work throughout each step. Water pressure can also provide gentle support to the limbs and body.
The water level, treadmill speed, duration, and exercise plan can be adjusted for each individual dog, allowing sessions to progress as their strength, comfort, and mobility improve.
Our goal isn’t simply to get your dog walking on a treadmill — it’s to provide purposeful, controlled movement designed around your dog’s individual needs.
Veterinary clearance is required before beginning therapeutic underwater treadmill sessions. This helps us ensure that hydrotherapy is appropriate for your dog’s condition and allows us to work alongside your veterinary team as part of their overall care plan.
What is pemf?
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy
PEMF therapy is a gentle, non-invasive modality that uses pulsed electromagnetic fields to support the body’s natural cellular processes and healing response. Treatments are performed while your dog relaxes comfortably on or near a specialized PEMF therapy system.
PEMF may be incorporated into a veterinarian-approved therapy plan to help support comfort, mobility, circulation, tissue recovery, and overall musculoskeletal health. Because treatment does not require needles, medications, or strenuous activity, it can also be a useful option for dogs who are painful, weak, senior, or limited in their ability to exercise.
PEMF therapy may be beneficial for dogs experiencing:
- Arthritis and age-related stiffness
- Joint or muscle discomfort
- Soft-tissue injuries
- Post-operative recovery
- Orthopedic injuries and recovery
- Reduced mobility or range of motion
- Muscle soreness following activity
- Chronic musculoskeletal conditions
- Athletic conditioning and recovery
PEMF is often used alongside other modalities, including underwater treadmill therapy, therapeutic exercise, and laser therapy, depending on your dog’s individual needs and veterinary recommendations.
Our approach: Every dog is different. We use PEMF as part of an individualized plan rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment, with the goal of helping each dog move more comfortably and confidently.
What is laser therapy?
Additional Information
Laser therapy, also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity and support the body’s natural healing processes.
The therapeutic light penetrates targeted tissues, where it can help support circulation, tissue repair, inflammation management, and pain relief. Treatments are typically quick and comfortable, and many dogs relax and enjoy the gentle warmth produced during their session.
Laser therapy may be beneficial for dogs experiencing:
- Arthritis and joint stiffness
- Muscle soreness or strains
- Tendon and ligament injuries
- Post-operative recovery
- Orthopedic injuries
- Back or neck discomfort
- Reduced mobility
- Soft-tissue injuries
- Certain wounds or areas of tissue healing
- Chronic musculoskeletal conditions
- Athletic recovery and conditioning
What Does a Laser Therapy Session Look Like?
During treatment, a trained team member applies the therapeutic laser to specific areas based on your dog’s individual needs and treatment plan. There are no needles or incisions, and treatment does not require sedation.
Laser therapy can be used on its own or incorporated into a multimodal therapy plan alongside underwater treadmill sessions, therapeutic exercise, and PEMF therapy.
More Than Just Symptom Management
Our goal is to use laser therapy strategically—helping support comfort, mobility, recovery, and quality of life while working alongside your dog’s veterinary care team.
When appropriate, treatment recommendations are based on your dog’s condition, veterinary guidance, and individual response to therapy.
red light therapy
Red light therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to support normal cellular function and the body’s natural recovery processes.
This form of photobiomodulation (PBM) delivers light energy to targeted tissues, where it may help support circulation, cellular energy production, tissue recovery, and a healthy inflammatory response. Sessions are comfortable and require no needles, medications, or sedation.
What Does a Session Look Like?
Your dog simply relaxes while the red and/or near-infrared light is applied to the targeted area. There is no electrical stimulation, and treatment is generally quiet and comfortable, making it a great option for dogs who may be nervous about more hands-on treatments.
Red Light vs. Therapeutic Laser
Although both use light to produce photobiomodulation, red light therapy and therapeutic laser aren’t necessarily interchangeable. Different devices use different wavelengths, power levels, treatment areas, and delivery methods.
This gives us another tool that can be incorporated into an individualized plan alongside underwater treadmill therapy, PEMF, therapeutic laser, and therapeutic exercise.
Our goal is simple: support comfortable movement, healthy recovery, and a better quality of life at every stage.Red light therapy is a gentle, non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to support normal cellular function and the body’s natural recovery processes.

Canine Fitness & Conditioning: Supporting an Active Life
From daily walks to games of fetch, movement is an important part of your dog’s life. Canine fitness and conditioning focuses on building strength, balance, coordination, and endurance through purposeful exercise tailored to each dog’s abilities.
At K9CareLBK, our goal is to help dogs stay active and confident with an individualized approach. Whether your dog enjoys outdoor adventures, participates in canine sports, or simply needs a more structured exercise routine, we consider their age, current activity level, veterinary recommendations, and your goals.
What Can Sessions Include?
Fitness and conditioning sessions may combine controlled walking, targeted strengthening exercises, balance activities, and coordination work. Exercises are introduced gradually and adjusted to your dog’s comfort and progress.
The underwater treadmill may be incorporated to provide controlled exercise with the support and resistance of water. Land exercises complement treadmill sessions by helping dogs practice the movements they use in everyday life.
When appropriate and recommended as part of your dog’s veterinary care plan, laser therapy and pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy may also be incorporated. These supportive modalities are selected according to individual needs rather than automatically included in every fitness session.
