Swimming ❤️

🐾 Swimming supports working, competing or athletic dogs by strengthening muscles and increasing flexibility. It keeps them in shape and ready for the next adventure.

🐾 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.

🐾 Swimming provides supported exercise that is enhanced by the resistance of water which helps dogs that are older or overweight or struggling with mobility or need to safely burn energy.

💦 does a body good

🐾 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.

🐾 Dogs experiencing mobility problems can benefit from swimming. With the support of the water, your dog can move their limbs more smoothly and effectively often achieving better extension and contraction of their muscles and building strength.

🐾 Older dogs can benefit from swimming.  The warm water at Doggie Dome Swim Spa will reduce swelling and inflammation and provide relief if your dog has arthritis, or is moving slower than they used to.  

🐾 Young dogs and puppies can benefit from swimming.  A safe and compassionate introduction to a pool and swimming will give your dog positive experiences to build confidence.  That positive foundation can be built on if you choose to have your dog swim at the lake or in your own pool.

🐾 Overweight dogs can benefit from swimming. Warm water decreases swelling and inflammation, and provides non-weight bearing movement in joints making movement easier for your dog.  Water resistance allows for good muscle use and calorie burn.
