It has been widely acknowledged for centuries that the benefit of swimming exercises every muscle of the anatomy. Swimming is ideal for muscle rebuilding for all breeds of dogs especially where a weight bearing exercise would prove too strenuous.”
Our Pool is a fully filtered 4 ft deep indoor heated pool with 2 adjustable anti swim power jets which can be varied. We have it heated as warm water r

elaxes muscles by initiating an expansion of surface blood vessels and increasing the skin temperature, this can bring about a reduction in pain and muscle spasm. A decreased range of motion can often be due to pain or swelling or stiffness. Stiffness can be eased as the warmth of the water causes blood vessels to expand. Therefore swimming in lakes and rivers is not recommended as cold water causes constriction of the blood vessels near to the surface restricting the flow of blood thereby impairing muscle efficiency. Dogs Recovering from orthopedic surgery, spaying, caesarean section, spinal injuries, hip dysplasia, cruciate ligament repair, Arthritis, strains and sprains and many other ailments find swimming a gentle way of rebuilding their fitness. It also aids weight loss in obese animals. The pool is not only used for dogs that need rehabilitation. It is also used by dog owners who need to give their dogs a more thorough form of exercise. We have a overhead hoist for larger breeds or dogs that cannot easily get into the pool via the ramp. The pool has two anti swim jets complete with two air controllers, a circulation pump, inline electric heater and jet pump. A four minute swim against the jets is equal to a brisk 5 mile walk for an average dog. All dogs are vet checked prior to swimming for vaccinations and health and all swims are recorded for the safety of your pet.
