FOR RAWTENSTALL DOGS
The Swimming Pool Built Specifically for Dogs Near Rawtenstall
This isn't a converted human pool or a farmer's pond — our facility was purpose-built for canine swimming. The gentle ramp entry lets dogs walk into the water at their own pace. The water is continuously filtered, treated, and heated to the perfect therapeutic temperature.
Whether you're in Rawtenstall or anywhere in Lancashire, you won't find a more professional, hygienic, or dog-friendly swimming environment. That's why vets recommend us, dog walkers trust us, and owners from across the region keep coming back.

Every session is supervised by our experienced team who know dogs, understand behaviour, and prioritise safety.
Open 7 Days a Week
Morning, afternoon, and evening sessions available 7 days a week — flexible enough to fit around any schedule.

GOOD TO KNOW
Everything Rawtenstall Dog Owners Ask Us
"Do I need to book in advance?"
We recommend booking ahead as sessions fill up, especially evenings and weekends. Call 07359 881320, fill in our form, or email us. We try to accommodate short-notice bookings when possible.
"What if my dog has health issues?"
We cater for all conditions — arthritis, hip dysplasia, obesity, post-surgery recovery, and more. We'll ask about your dog's health before their first session and tailor everything accordingly. We welcome vet referrals too.
"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.
"How do I know which session type is right?"
Owner In Pool if you want to swim with your dog. Group Classes for social, confident dogs. Swim Coach for nervous dogs, rehabilitation, or therapeutic sessions. Weighty Woofers for weight management. We're happy to recommend — just ask.
WHAT DOG OWNERS SAY
Why Dog Owners Keep Coming Back
"After our dog's spinal surgery, this pool was recommended by our vet. The Swim Coach sessions were exactly what she needed — controlled, gentle, and effective."
Victoria L.
Dachshund, 8 years
"Brilliant for our working cocker who does agility. The swimming keeps her fit, builds strength in muscle groups that agility alone doesn't work, and she adores it."
James H.
Working Cocker Spaniel, 4 years
"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."
Dan K.
Professional Dog Walker
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Practical Answers for Rawtenstall Dog Owners
Is the pool chlorinated?
We use a professional water treatment system that keeps the water crystal-clear and hygienic without harsh chemical smells. Our system is far gentler on dogs' skin and eyes than traditional chlorinated pools.
Can I buy a package of sessions?
Yes — we offer multi-session packages at a discount. Ask us when you book or call 07359 881320 for current offers. Regular swimmers from Rawtenstall often find packages the best value.
Do you accept dogs with disabilities?
Yes — we welcome dogs with physical disabilities, amputations, and mobility challenges. Swimming is often the best exercise for these dogs because water supports their body and allows free movement.
How do I book a session from Rawtenstall?
You can call us on 07359 881320, fill in the enquiry form on this page, or email info@westlancsk9splash.co.uk. We're open 7 days a week, 9am–8pm.
Can my dog swim after eating?
We recommend waiting at least an hour after feeding before swimming — just like humans. This helps prevent discomfort and allows your dog to get the most from their session.
What are your opening hours?
We're open 7 days a week, 9am–8pm. Evening and weekend slots are available so Rawtenstall dog owners can fit sessions around work and family.
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.
