Dog Swimming

Pool Time at The Paw!

If you want your dog to love the water, this is your ticket!

Your dog's accomplishment of becoming comfortable in the water will help become a more confident dog.

Our 18’x 50’ indoor pool is maintained at a comfortable 80°F. The depth is graduated from 10 inches to 4½ feet deep, which makes it both comfortable for novice swimmers and loads of fun for our advanced canine swimmers. We have life jackets available in a variety of sizes. Your dog will never want to get out of the pool! 

Dogs who swim love it; and good swimmers are so much fun to watch!

Benefits of Swimming for Dogs

What a phenomenal way to improve your dog’s mental and physical health!

● Swimming provides exercise that is easy on joints

● Improves muscle strength and tone

● Promotes cardiovascular health

● Improves their metabolic rate

● Great for healthy weight loss

● Is a great outlet for your dog’s extra energy

● Great for their mental health

Swimming is an exercise they can do their entire lives. Varied activities help to keep your dog alert, focused, and happy.

What to bring

● Proof of current Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella vaccinations on file before checking in. We recommend a fecal parasite exam.

● Your dog's favorite pool toy

● Pool clothes (optional) - your dog's introduction to the pool will be much more successful if you, as their human, lead by example.

What to Expect

● If your dog doesn't have a lot of experience, come prepared to get in the water with them. He will be much more comfortable with his favorite human by his side.  

● Swimming takes a lot of energy. Don't be surprised if your dog is ready for a long nap after their swim. They'll be tired from their full-body exercise. Be sure to have fresh water available to them as they may be thirsty.   

● Be sure to give your dog a potty stop before you enter the pool room, and be sure to take potty breaks periodically.
