We can tailor all swim programmes for individual conditions/needs.
Age Groups
We can swim all dogs from 3 Months old upwards. There is no maximum age, we will swim old dogs providing a full vet check has been carried out and a referral form filled in.
Vaccinations
We do ask that all vaccinations are up to date and a vaccination card is brought with you on your first appointment. If your dog has a kennel cough vaccination, we will be unable to swim for 10 days post vacc.
