SALT THERAPY (HALOTHERAPY) FOR DOGS
Humans are not the only ones that benefit from Dry Salt Therapy (Halotherapy). Other land-based breathing animals have a respiratory and lung system similar to that of people. And, like people, animals and our pets are exposed to the same air we breathe which often contain pollutants, pollen, allergens, airborne diseases and more. They often experience the same issues including inflammation, extra mucus, and restrictive breathing.
"My dog recently had been fighting an ear infection and we were struggling to get rid of it. We took her to the salt room and it was amazing. It really helped her ears and she loved it, not to mention how relaxed it made her. I loved it as well it really helped to clear my sinuses. I would highly recommend this treatment. My dog cannot wait to go back!" - Audrey Venute

WHY SALT THERAPY FOR DOGS?

Most of the upper and lower airway conditions in dogs is due to non-infectious causes with inflammatory airway disease associated with allergies or unknown triggers being the most common. Reactive airways result from ongoing irritation. These reactive airways tend to narrow the airways (bronchoconstriction) and produce excess mucus leading to difficulty breathing, and sometimes, cough and nasal discharge. 

HOW SALT THERAPY WORKS

Once in the Salt Room, an animal will breathe in the dry salt aerosol created by the halogenerator.  As the animal inhales the aerosol, the dry salt goes to work inside the respiratory system by acting as an antibacterial agent, clearing secretion, and dissolving bacteria and pollutants lodged in the respiratory tract. Ultimately, this lessens inflammation in the lungs, thins out mucus build-up, improves lung function, and opens breathing passages. The microparticles of dry salt that are dispersed into the air and not inhaled into the respiratory system eventually fall onto the skin. Because dry salt is ultra-absorbent, the microparticles permeate into the epidermis of your pet's skin, absorb oils, and reduce the frequency of irritating skin conditions. The natural antibacterial properties of salt can prevent the development of bacteria and help normalize the skin's ph level. 

​"Jared and I recently had the opportunity to enjoy the Salt Therapy Room. I had recently gotten over bronchitis and still had a lot of congestion. After just one 20 minute session in the salt room, it broke the mucus up in my chest and I was able to breathe better. This is an amazing opportunity for horses and dogs and right now owners can sit in on a session with their pets for free." - Shelley Herrman
