Liability Release for K9 Swim Session
The Benefits of Swimming
Veterinarians recommend warm water swimming for dogs as it helps them with the following conditions:
** Improved body conditions and physical performance. Perfect for dogs that are overweight or don't receive regular exercise. Young dogs with lots of energy benefit greatly as swimming allows them to release this energy in a positive manner.
**Non-impact Aerobic exercise. Great for dogs with dysplasia and joint degeneration.
**Improved cardiovascular fitness
**Faster recovery from sprains, strains and surgery
**Reduced pain from injury and physical stress
**Decreased/prevention of muscle and tissue contraction from disuse
**Obesity prevention and reduction.
**Mental stimulation
Pricing:
$40 for a half hour of assisted swim.
This is generally the suggested amount of time for a beginner swimmer. This type of exercise is VERY strenuous. Your dog will not be in the water the entire 30 minutes as he will need to rest periodically.
Multiple Dogs - 20% discount
$55 for 45 minute assisted swim.
An experienced K9 swimmer can handle this length of swim time; with several breaks out of the pool.
Pool rental - i.e. dog's owner goes into the pool with the dog - $50/half hour. All rules must be followed, along with release of liability for human and dog. Rules include: No getting in and out multiple times. Once the dog is in, he/she remains in until her time is up. No scratching at the sides allowed. All dogs must wear flotation vests provided by pet parents.
Policies
All dogs must receive an initial swim assessment. They will wear a float vest. Once they prove their swimming adeptness and ability to be guided without constantly aiming for the sides to leave, we will remove the vest. All swims will be assisted to insure the dog's safety.
CANCELLATION POLICY
We require a minimum of 24-hours notice if you cancel your session, otherwise you will be charged for your reserved pool time.

- All dogs who are currently under veterinary care for any medical condition require a written veterinary consent form prior to swimming. We also would prefer to speak with your veterinarian in order to discern appropriate exercises to be utilized during the swim.
- All dogs must be current on vaccinations unless medically excused with proof of titers.
- If you arrive and there is a dog in the pool area, please wait in the parking lot and begin prepping your dog for his/her swim by rinsing off loose hair; paying special attention to cleaning anal area.
- Keep your dog leashed at all times.
- Do not feed your dog within 4 hours of his/her swim and make sure he has relieved himself just prior to the swim. There are pooper scoopers readily available to clean up after your dog. Also note that dogs often have to relieve themselves during their swim sessions and this time will count as part of their session so as to not interrupt the next scheduled session.
- Feel free to bring your dog's favorite floating toys but we do have many on site, too.
- No family members are allowed in the pool with the dogs.
- You will have 10 minutes after your dog's swim to rinse and dry your dog in the rinse area outside. Please bring your own towels. We do have towels available for rent at $5 each use.
- Payment is due at the time of the session. We accept cash, checks and credit cards. All credit card will incur an additional 3% fee.
If your dog relieves himself in the pool you will be charged $200 in order to cover the costs of pool cleaning and sanitizing. Be sure that your dog relieves himself prior to his swim.
