Never used them myself but I would have thought the warmth would help achy joints. give it a go. LavendarLady x

Have tried my cousin's hot tub and it was great for the joints - but don't think I will be exposing myself to north-east temperatures or the neighbours anytime soon! Would have trouble keeping my dogs out of it too - being springer spaniels they're great fans of anything watery:-)

just imagining the dogs in the tub now .. cant see the harm.. when v poorly./ desperate.. I rang around places looking for a jacuzzi.. the temp of which I know know is within 1 degree of a hydrotherapy pool,,.. not bad idea for

me when at time I was a RA virgin!( ie not diagnosed!)

I'd have a job keeping my labradors out of one as well. Labs love water having been bred as water dogs in Newfoundland helping to bring the nets in. Just as well we live near the sea - they gallop over the sea bank, yelling whoopee and plunge straight into the North Sea for a swim. Have a job preventing them from swimming to Holland.
