There was the other method of avoiding the injury to the dog that is by giving him swim sport. This sport tended safer for the muscle and the pivot because of the foundation to foot did not keep the burden of the body. Swim for 5 minutes same as run 8 kms. Apart from as sport to burn fat (cardiovascular), swam could increase the function of the work of the lungs and the heart. When swimming, the chest part of the dog received the pressure from water so as to force the dog to breathe with the burden so as muscles of the respiratory part will be formed well and completely. Swimming also was used for therapy to the dog that experienced was sick or the injury. This therapy was named Hydrotherapy, often was applied to the dog that experienced was sick or the injury in the part foot. The dog that experienced the part fracture foot or the difficult injury to the muscle usually needs time that for quite a long time to rest. After recovering, the dog must undergo this therapy in order to be able to go well as of old. Although your dog has been used to it with routine sport better be given by the introduction before at the time of the first time this swimming exercise. For the dog that liked water, this will more find it easy but for the dog that had never played in water will need time to try him.
