The Doggy Swim pool
A large purpose-built pool with adjustable resistance jets, which we maintain at the recommended therapeutic 30°c. Chlorine levels are tested throughout the day for everyone’s safety. Katherine or Charlotte are always in the pool with your dog for safety and reassurance. 

The pool is suitable for most conditions due to it being completely non-weight bearing exercise. There are some conditions or individuals where swimming is either not recommended or they just don’t settle, so that is why having the water treadmill at Dogfish as well, is such an asset.
The Water Treadmill
Our Tudor treadmill provides the latest technology, enabling tailored programmes specific to your dogs' needs. This is ideal for conditions where some weight bearing is beneficial or for those that struggle to get used to the pool. We use advanced techniques in the treadmill to enable your dog to gain fitness, increased range of motion and muscle strength. To do this we use the built-in incline, static plate and other sensory techniques to encourage improved joint motion and weight bearing. We also have a camera, so we can monitor progress while we work as well as take recordings of sessions which helps with providing feedback to your veterinary surgeon.
Appointments are also available for fun sessions and fitness for our harder working companions, i.e. Agility, fly-ball, gun-dogs, canine-cross - and the list goes on!
