Swim services!
Our pool is designed for three purposes — Swim, Play & Exercise! Swimming is an awesome way to burn off excessive energy and keep your dog is top physical condition while having a blast! Warm water swimming is invaluable for dogs with arthritis & other health issues that limit their mobility. We do not have a dock runway but dogs may jump into the water from the dock to work on confidence.
Our 12’x24’x4′ pool is heated & heavily filtered. Water is tested on a daily basis & chlorine is kept at a minimum. The pool is skimmed after each swim for hair removal. Our pool room is humidity & temperature controlled year round. All equipment is aluminum, stainless or plastic for easy cleaning.
