The last time I used my infrared sauna, my dog jumped in and refused to leave. He LOVED it. So, now I’m wondering if it’s safe for dogs to use infrared saunas. Would it have the same benefits as it does for humans? Has anyone else had this experience?

Hi Lizbeth,
Yes, it is safe for dogs to use infrared saunas, but there are a few things you need to be aware of. It sounds like your dog loves it, but you shouldn’t let them stay in for too long. My research shows that a 15 to 20-minute session is about the right length of time for most dogs. You must be present at all times to monitor your dog and watch for signs they need to leave, such as pacing, panting, or becoming agitated.
Heat therapy for dogs has many health benefits, including pain relief, warming muscles, muscle recovery, promotion of relaxation, and reduction of stress.
It’s important to consult your vet to determine if it is suitable for your dog.
Happy sauna-ing!
