BENEFITS OF SWIMMING

Swimming has unique advantages as a form of exercise both for dogs and people:

• It is a cardiovascular exercise that improves cardio fitness
• It promotes strength and conditioning
• Water buoyancy takes away 70% of the "earth weight" of the body
• Swimming improves range of motion and flexibility of muscles
• It tones without harsh joint or bone impact
• It promotes weight loss
• It increases stamina and endurance
• It builds confidence
• It is fun for both you AND your dog!!

What kind of dogs could benefit from swimming in a spa?

• Dogs with jobs - therapy dogs, police k-9s, herding dogs
• Dogs who are performers - dogs who do obedience, agility, fly ball, etc.
• Dogs who need more exercise than their owners can provide
• Dogs who enjoy swimming all year round, but can't swim in the cold
• Young dogs who need confidence building and supervised exercise
• Dogs who need non-weight bearing exercise options (recovering from injuries, dogs who are older, those who have hip dysplasia)

Life jackets are available for all our swimming dogs!

How will you, the dog owner, benefit from bringing your dog for a swim?

• You will have the peace of knowing that your dog will be receiving the benefits of exercise in a clean, controlled, protected environment - no burrs, broken glass, other dogs or tides
• Your dog is likely to gain muscle tone and flexibility
• Your dog will enjoy the experience of swimming and playing in heated water
• 15 minutes of swimming is the equivalent of a 2 mile walk
• Older dogs will enjoy the soothing quality of warm water and its buoyancy
• We use life jackets to assist dogs in adjusting to the spa environment
• Your dog is never unsupervised, and we teach you to monitor your dog
• You are likely to have as much fun as your dog!
