The Swimming Dog is a fun and safe place where your dog can swim. Dogs of all breeds, ages, and dispositions can benefit from warm water swimming (also referred to as hydrotherapy). The pool is heated for your dog's comfort and a trained and experienced canine swim coach is in the water at all times.
Located in Petaluma, The Swimming Dog is an easy drive from either Marin county or Sonoma county.
Dogs that are relatively healthy can benefit from swimming or hydrotherapy in a controlled environment, even if they don't like being in water. We take great care in making sure your dog's emotional needs are a priority so that every swim session is a positive experience.
We offer swim lessons where we teach puppies and not-so-young dogs to swim. We help unconfident or shy dogs that are anxious or fearful gain confidence. We assist dogs that were once canine athletes but now have difficulty walking or going up stairs regain muscle and strength.
We ecnourage and assist dogs who need to lose fat so they can reach a healthy weight. And for dogs that have endless energy, we use a variety of toys and tricks to make each session fun so that even the most energetic pooch feels relaxed afterward. (Dog parents often say they really enjoy the ride home because their dog is content and sleepy.)
