Pool Time
In designing our state of the art facility, researching the best possible pool for canine use was important. Ease of entering and exiting for the safety of the dog along with being user friendly for staff was crucial.Finding what would fit our needs we shipped our 8 x 20 foot pool in from the east coast and had it custom designed.Our pool has resting benches with side jets and powerful end swim jets for the dogs that need a good resistance swim. We keep heated to 93 degrees and sanitized with ultra violet light and bromine for the wellness of your dog.
