Hidden Limits of Exercise for Roby Mill Dogs
Cold Weather Stops Play
When Roby Mill weather turns cold and wet, outdoor exercise drops off. Our heated indoor pool means fitness never stops.
Bored & Under-Exercised
A tired dog is a happy dog. If your Roby Mill pup is destructive, anxious, or pulling on walks, they're probably not getting enough exercise.
No Social Swimming Options
Finding controlled, supervised swimming for dogs near Roby Mill is difficult. Our purpose-built facility fills that gap perfectly.
Expensive vet bills and medication only manage symptoms. Swimming addresses the root cause.

FOR ROBY MILL DOGS
Why Roby Mill Owners Drive Past Other Pools to Reach Us
There are larger pools elsewhere in Lancashire, and some that are closer to certain parts of Roby Mill. What brings owners to Bretherton is the combination — purpose-built for dogs, properly heated, genuinely private, and run by people who know each regular's dog by name.
Once you've experienced a fully private, fully focused 30-minute session, shared or rushed alternatives feel like a step backwards. That's the most common piece of feedback we get from Roby Mill dog owners who tried elsewhere first.

All Breeds Welcome
From tiny Chihuahuas to giant Great Danes, we cater for every breed with adjustable depths and gentle ramp entry.

GOOD TO KNOW
What Roby Mill Dog Owners Want to Know
"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.
"Is the pool big enough for large breeds?"
Absolutely. We welcome everything from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. The pool has adjustable depths and ample space for even the largest breeds to swim comfortably.
"Can I bring more than one dog from Roby Mill?"
Yes! Our Owner In Pool sessions welcome up to 4 dogs. Multi-dog households from Roby Mill love bringing all their dogs for a group swim. Same price per session regardless of dog numbers.
"Is it really better than outdoor swimming?"
Night and day. Our pool is heated to 28–32°C, filtered and treated for hygiene, has no currents or hidden hazards, and is available all year round regardless of weather. Plus it's completely private — no other dogs to stress yours.
WHAT DOG OWNERS SAY
What Lancashire Dog Owners Say About Us
"We tried an outdoor dog pool once and it was freezing, muddy, and crowded. This is the complete opposite. Warm, clean, private, and professional."
Rachel N.
Cocker Spaniel, 5 years
"Brought our 14-week-old puppy for a first swim and the staff were amazing. So gentle and patient. She loved it and now we go every fortnight."
Amy L.
Miniature Dachshund, 14 weeks
"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
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything You Need to Know
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.
What if my dog is nervous about water?
We specialise in nervous swimmers. Our gentle ramp lets dogs walk in at their own pace, the warm water is inviting rather than shocking, and our team has helped hundreds of first-timers. Most dogs swim confidently by session one or two.
Can I watch my dog swim?
Absolutely. You can watch from poolside during Swim Coach sessions, or jump in yourself during Owner In Pool sessions. Many Roby Mill owners love watching their dog's progress from week to week.
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.
Do you have changing facilities?
We have a drying area for dogs and space for you to change if you've been in the pool during an Owner In Pool session. We also have towels available.
How do I book a session from Roby Mill?
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.
