Cornwall's First 32-ft Outside Swimming Pool for Dogs
About Us
We have been owned by Newfoundlands for 33 years and we currently have a 2 year old Newfie called Murphy although we have a love for all breeds.
Over the years with all of our dogs we have played, trained, swam and worked with them in the water, and all have had different personalities and confidence levels regarding water so we would very much like to share our enthusiasm and knowledge of building up your dog’s confidence to swim in a controlled environment or in a lot of cases to even enter water!
Or maybe you simply want to let your dog have the time of their lives playing with toys whilst splashing around in our pool whilst being supervised.
For your peace of mind Julie has completed a CPD accredited course in dog first aid and emergency canine care delivered by Animal Love, an IMDT accredited qualified dog trainer.
Please note we cannot give any Health Advice.
We are located just outside of Newquay Cornwall and have lots of beautiful beaches all around us but the sea can also be extremely dangerous and unpredictable, could you spot a rip current? Do you know where it is safe to let your dog have a paddle in the sea, river or Gannel?
Our Pool gives you and your dog the opportunity to swim in a controlled environment.
Lots of dogs also drink the sea water which can make them extremely sick and cause diarrhoea.
We will always have bowls of fresh water available for your dogs to have a drink throughout their session.
Our Pool
We offer dog owners a fun and exciting way for you to exercise your dogs in our 32ft x 16ft outdoor swimming pool for dogs in a controlled environment sited in a fenced off paddock.
The pool water is 3ft deep.
Our purpose-built ramp will make it easier for your dogs to get in and out of the water. We also have steps to gain access to the pool platform, covered in Astro turf to help prevent slipping.
The platform area will be enclosed on 2 sides to prevent the dogs or owners from falling or jumping off.
The pool will be on one side of the platform and the entry & exit access on the other.
For our Pool Party sessions there will be an additional docking platform for the super confident for jumping/diving in!
Swimming has much lower impact on the joints than walking does so is highly effective for those who have recovered from injury or simply can’t walk too far due to age.
Please note we are NOT a replacement for hydrotherapy but swimming will help to maintain and enhance fitness following on from hydrotherapy once your dog has been signed off.
Pool Management
We manually clean the pool each day and use a filtration system that helps to keep the pool nice and clean.
We also use bromine pool cleaner which is a method of sanitizing our swimming pool water using bromine as the disinfectant, acting as an alternative to chlorine. Bromine comes in tablet form which is slowly dissolved in the water through a dispenser, maintaining a consistent level of sanitization while effectively killing bacteria, viruses, and algae in the pool. It is less irritating than chlorine and has less odour.
