Swimming

Want your dog to have some fun?  Want him to get good exercise? 

Then bring him swimming!

Swimming is a great exercise for dogs.  Swimming for just five minutes is equivalent to twenty minutes of walking. 

Swimming is also an excellent therapy treatment.  Swimming and massage therapy are often used to treat dogs after surgeries or injuries.  It can also be therapy for older arthritic dogs.  The buoyancy of water provides a non-stress-bearing environment in which the dog can work his muscles.

We have an indoor heated swimming pool with massage jets.  The pool is 24’long x 11’ wide x 4 ½’ deep.  It was designed specifically for use by dogs and was built to maintain clean and sanitary conditions at all times.

All swimming is scheduled by appointment only, so please call in advance. (203) 838-7729
