WHY DOGS NEED MORE
The Issues Claughton-on-Brock Dog Owners Talk to Us About

A tired dog is a happy dog. If your Claughton-on-Brock pup is destructive, anxious, or pulling on walks, they're probably not getting enough exercise.

WHAT SETS US APART
How Often Should Your Claughton-on-Brock Dog Swim?
Most dogs from Claughton-on-Brock settle into a weekly or fortnightly rhythm. Hydrotherapy and Weighty Woofers cases lean weekly. Fitness and fun-focused regulars often run fortnightly. There's no single right answer — only what fits your dog and your schedule.
The biggest mistake is treating swimming as a one-off treat. Real benefits — muscle, weight loss, joint comfort, behaviour — build with consistency, not intensity. A regular Claughton-on-Brock swimmer outpaces an occasional one every time.
Heated to 28–32°C
Our pool maintains a therapeutic temperature all year round — warm, clean, and comfortable for every breed and age.
Year-Round Availability
Rain, snow, or heatwave — our indoor heated pool means your dog's exercise never depends on the weather.
Free Parking On Site
Pull up right next to the pool entrance at Pompian Brow Farm. No parking charges, no long walks from the car.

YOUR QUESTIONS
Claughton-on-Brock Owners Ask — We Answer Straight
"What if my dog is scared of water?"
We specialise in nervous swimmers. Our gentle ramp entry lets dogs walk in at their own pace, the warm water is inviting rather than shocking, and our experienced team has helped hundreds of first-timers. Most dogs are swimming happily by the end of session one.
"What ages of dog do you accept?"
From 12-week-old puppies (after second vaccination) to senior dogs of any age. We adjust every session to your dog's ability. Some of our most enthusiastic swimmers are well into their teens!
"Can my dog swim if they're on medication?"
Usually yes — but always mention any medication when booking. Some medications may need timing adjustments around swimming. We'll check with you and advise accordingly.
"How does this compare to a vet hydrotherapy centre?"
Our sessions are £35-40 compared to £50-80+ at vet hydrotherapy centres. Our pool is the same quality — heated, filtered, purpose-built. For dogs needing rehabilitation, we're happy to work alongside your vet.

"As a dog walker in Lancashire, I bring client dogs here regularly. The facilities are top-notch and the team genuinely care about every dog that comes through the door."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your Claughton-on-Brock Swimming Questions, Answered
Will my dog be the only one in the pool?
Yes. Every session is fully private. Your Claughton-on-Brock dog never meets another dog during their swim, which is why we're a popular choice for reactive or anxious dogs.
Is the pool hygienic?
Our pool water is continuously filtered and treated to the highest standards. We maintain strict hygiene protocols and the water is crystal-clear at all times. It's far cleaner than any river, lake, or outdoor pool.
How does the pricing work?
Owner In Pool and Group Classes are £35 per 30-minute session. Swim Coach and Weighty Woofers are £40. No membership fees, no contracts — just book when you want.
Is there parking at the pool?
Yes — free parking right by the entrance at Pompian Brow Farm, Bretherton, PR26 9AQ. Easy access from Claughton-on-Brock.
How warm is the pool?
Our pool is heated to between 28°C and 32°C — warmer than most human swimming pools. This temperature is ideal for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors.
How often should my dog swim?
For general fitness, once a week is brilliant. For weight loss or rehabilitation, twice a week is recommended. Even fortnightly sessions make a noticeable difference.
Do I need to bring anything for my dog's swim?
Just your dog and a towel! We provide life jackets, toys, and everything else needed. We also have a drying area on site so your dog can dry off before the journey home to Claughton-on-Brock.
