How does the therapy work?
Temperature: Water is maintained at a brisk 35Β°F to 37Β°F to actively reduce heat, inflammation, and numb pain.
Salinity: The high concentration of salt creates a hypertonic solution that acts as a natural poultice, helping draw fluid and infection away from the legs.
Pressure & Aeration: Jets create turbulence and hydrostatic pressure to massage muscles, improve circulation, and support tissue recovery.
How long is a session?
A typical cold saltwater leg spa session lasts between 10 and 20 minutes.
Does cold saltwater therapy replace veterinary care?
No. Cold saltwater therapy is intended to complement veterinary care and rehabilitation plans, not replace diagnosis or treatment by a licensed veterinarian.
Can therapy help horses recovering from injury?
Many owners use saltwater therapy as part of a veterinarian-approved rehabilitation plan to support recovery, circulation, and conditioning.
Can it be used before and after competitions?
Yes! Pre-competition sessions may help increase joint mobility and reduce pre-show stiffness. Post-competition sessions may help accelerate muscle recovery and reduce swelling.
Does it dry out or damage hooves?
No. The cold saltwater solution cleanses the hoof area naturally without drying out or damaging the hoof horn.
What about the horse's safety?
Nervous horses are acclimated at their own pace to help ensure a comfortable, low-stress experience. Facilities may utilize specialized equine waste-containment systems to help keep the water clean and hygienic.
What types of dogs can benefit from cold saltwater therapy?

- Active sporting dogs
- Senior dogs
- Dogs recovering from orthopedic procedures
- Dogs with mobility concerns
- Dogs needing low-impact exercise
