WHY DOGS NEED MORE
What Most Mere Brow Dog Owners Don't Realise
Hot Weather Exercise Limits
Summer heat makes exercising dogs from Mere Brow risky. Our temperature-controlled indoor pool is safe and comfortable in any weather.
Ageing Without Support
Senior dogs in Mere Brow deserve better than shortened walks and a life on the sofa. Swimming keeps them mobile, engaged, and comfortable.
Limited Off-Lead Space
Not every Mere Brow dog has access to safe off-lead fields. Swimming provides intensive exercise in a secure, enclosed environment.
Expensive vet bills and medication only manage symptoms. Swimming addresses the root cause.

FOR MERE BROW DOGS
Why Mere Brow Dog Owners Are Switching to Indoor Swimming
Rivers and lakes near Mere Brow might look inviting, but they carry real risks — blue-green algae, strong currents, sharp debris, and unpredictable water temperatures. Our purpose-built pool eliminates every one of these dangers while providing a better workout.
At 28–32°C, our pool water is therapeutic as well as enjoyable. Dogs exercise harder, recover faster, and genuinely love coming back. That's why families from Mere Brow make our pool part of their regular routine.
Heated to 28–32°C
Our pool maintains a therapeutic temperature all year round — warm, clean, and comfortable for every breed and age.
All Breeds Welcome
From tiny Chihuahuas to giant Great Danes, we cater for every breed with adjustable depths and gentle ramp entry.
Gentle Ramp Entry
Dogs enter via a gradual ramp — no jumping required. Perfect for nervous first-timers and dogs with mobility issues.

WHAT DOG OWNERS SAY
Why Dog Owners Keep Coming Back
"We drive from Mere Brow every week and it's worth every minute. Our spaniel absolutely loves the warm water and sleeps all evening afterwards!"
Sarah T.

Tom & Kelly J.
Weimaraner, 2 years

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if my dog doesn't want to swim?
No dog is ever forced into the water. If your dog isn't ready, we let them explore poolside and build confidence at their own pace. Most dogs swim happily within their first or second visit.
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 Mere Brow.
How do regular swimmers from Mere Brow schedule their visits?
Most regular swimmers from Mere Brow book a standing weekly or fortnightly slot. This ensures they get their preferred day and time. We're flexible with rescheduling when life gets in the way.
Are there any dogs you can't accept?
We welcome all breeds and ages from 12 weeks. Dogs must be up to date on vaccinations. Dogs with open wounds, infectious conditions, or severe uncontrolled aggression may need to wait or have a vet consultation first.
Do you have experience with large breeds?
We regularly swim Great Danes, Newfoundlands, Irish Wolfhounds, and other giant breeds. Our pool is designed to accommodate dogs of all sizes with plenty of room to move.
Do you do gift vouchers for dog owners in Mere Brow?
Yes. Vouchers are a popular present for Mere Brow dog owners — birthdays, Christmas, or a new puppy in the family. Call 07359 881320 to arrange one.
Is the pool available for birthday parties or special occasions?
We love celebrating milestones! Contact us about special occasion bookings. Many Mere Brow dog owners book celebration swims for birthdays or adoption anniversaries.
