Here's a little reminder for anyone on the brink of giving up: greatness isn't reserved for the lucky or the talented, but for those who refuse to stop believing in themselves and trying their best. 💪🏼✨

This is a great blend to safely diffuse for your pets. Calms me too! 🐾❤️

BOOM! BOOM! POW!

This is a Calming Diffuser Recipe for Stressful situations, like during Fireworks 💥 if your pet 🐾 is afraid. As Always, be sure to diffuse this in an open room with the doors open.

More tips to keep your pets calm during the fireworks:

• Exercise your animals more than usual during the day (early, before the fireworks) so they are nice and tired in the evening.

• Be sure your pet has an up to date microchip, and a collar with a tag with your name and number on it, in case they get loose.

• If you need to let your dogs outside during the festivities, use a leash and collar or harness, rather than just letting them out, even if you have a fenced in yard. The 5th of July is one of the busiest day for shelters due to pets that have run away during the fireworks due to fear.

• Diffuse oils!!! Serenity, Lavender, Roman Chamomile, Peace, Cedarwood, Petitgrain, Vetiver, Balance, Console, and many other calming oils are excellent.

• Apply oils to yourself and your pet! Dilute for topical use for pets. Keeping yourself calm will help keep your pets calm. If you get anxious because you're worried about your pet getting anxious, this will just make them MORE anxious! Copaiba or Adaptiv may be great choices for you both as well!

• Be sure your pet has a safe place to go - a kennel with a blanket over it, and comfy blankets inside makes a great "den" to get away.

• Give your pet a super fun toy and play with them during the fireworks to distract them! Make it an exciting game!

• Play some music ("Alexa, play Calming music for dogs") - Spotify has a Music for pet relaxation station, and so does YouTube! Or Turn on the TV (the nature channel is always good!)

• Build an obstacle course in your home or work on some obedience training during the fireworks.

• Give your dog a yummy bone to work on! Or you can make a "pup"sicle with frozen chicken or beef broth (with a few "surprise" treats in it for fun!

• More oils. 💦🐾🐶💜

It’s that time of year. Time to appreciate any of the warm days left before the snow closes in, and think about your dog being damp when leaving the pool.

Thank you for bringing a jacket or coat for your dog. 🐾❤️

10/30/2023

What to bring
🐾 a dog on a leash that hasn’t eaten for a couple of hours, and has been to potty (if your dog is experiencing GI upset, please reschedule )

🐾 towels to dry your dog after swimming (a grooming dryer is also available)

🐾 a jacket for damp dogs in cooler weather (we worked to relax and loosen your dogs muscles and want to maintain warmth)

The introductory swim is our opportunity to help your dog have a safe and fun experience at the Doggie Dome Swim Spa. Time is spent getting used to the surroundings and the stairs to the pool. The session is individual to each dog, and although many dogs get into the water and swim that first time, some do not. We try to set up each dog for a successful relationship going forward and help them make the connection that the water makes them feel better.

10/20/2023

A successful session incorporates the goals you bring for your dog, as well as any physical limitations they’re trying to overcome. For every dog, we expect them to leave feeling better than when they arrived.

With each session we should make progress towards smooth entry into the pool after the life vest is applied. The goal is one entry and one exit. In the water throughout the session we’re working towards smooth movement with good extension of the limbs, and level flotation without strain or discomfort. The session includes plenty of rest time between swims, with some massage and treats and toys and lots of encouragement to keep it fun.

The amount of time in the water varies with the needs of the individual dog, maxing at approximately 30 minutes of water time. Each session helps to build strength and endurance, relieve swelling and inflammation, and give your dog confidence.

Do you still wonder if swimming is right for your dog? If you’d like to discuss the specifics of your furry friend, give a call. I would love to work together to make your dog’s time at the pool a happy experience that contributes to their health while they think its just fun. I can’t wait to see what happens for your dog!

As cooler temperatures begin to enclose us here in NH it is important to consider what your dog will experience when they go out the door after their swim.

No matter the season there is a pool to help your dog. Swimming at Doggie Dome Swim Spa can help dogs recovering from injury or surgery to recuperate safer and faster. The warmth of the water decreases swelling and inflammation, and buoyancy helps them move smoothly without weight on their joints.

09/15/2023

Healthy athletic dogs can benefit from swimming. The viscosity of the water provides resistance to your dog’s workout, and buoyancy lifts the weight off their joints. It can provide benefits during the athletic season, as well conditioning off-season.
