A pool session sits within a wider assessment and care plan. Before talking about time in the water, it is useful to ask what the clinician wants to understand or work towards and why the pool has been considered.
Tell the team about your dog’s previous experiences around water, without worrying about whether they sound relevant. Their response to the environment is part of the appointment conversation, alongside movement and the clinical history.
Bring this into the conversation
