COMMON CONCERNS
Recognise These Signs in Your Ashley Dog?
Separation Anxiety
Dogs who don't burn enough energy develop anxiety. A 30-minute swim leaves dogs calm, content, and ready to relax at home.
Breed-Specific Exercise Needs
Working breeds, sporting dogs, and high-energy breeds in Ashley need more than standard walks. Swimming provides the intensity they crave.
Behavioural Problems at Home
Chewing, barking, digging — these are often signs of under-exercise. Dogs from Ashley who swim regularly are calmer and better behaved.
Sound familiar? Swimming solves all of these — safely and enjoyably.

FOR ASHLEY DOGS
Why More Ashley Dogs Are Swimming Every Week
Dog swimming has gone from niche to essential. Vets now recommend it for everything from weight management and arthritis to post-surgery recovery and puppy development. The results speak for themselves — dogs who swim regularly are fitter, happier, and healthier.
Our pool is just 35 minutes from Ashley, with sessions from £35 and free parking on site. Whether your dog is a natural water-lover or has never seen a pool, our team will make their experience safe, enjoyable, and beneficial.
Crystal-Clear Water
Our water is continuously filtered and treated to the highest standards. No mud, no algae, no hidden hazards.
Mental Stimulation
The sensory experience of swimming — water pressure, temperature, movement — provides intense mental engagement alongside physical exercise.
Year-Round Availability
Rain, snow, or heatwave — our indoor heated pool means your dog's exercise never depends on the weather.

GOOD TO KNOW
Everything Ashley Dog Owners Ask Us
"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.
"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!
"Is the water clean and safe?"
Our water is continuously filtered and treated to exceed hygiene standards. It's crystal-clear at all times — far cleaner and safer than any river, lake, or outdoor dog pool you'll find near Ashley.
"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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a vet referral?
No referral is needed for general swimming sessions. However, if your dog has a specific medical condition, we recommend consulting your vet first. Many vets across Cheshire actively refer to us.
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.
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.
What should I bring for my dog's first swim?
Just your dog and a towel — we supply everything else including life jackets and toys. If you're joining in an Owner In Pool session, bring swimwear too. We have a drying area on site.
Is the drive from Ashley worth it?
At just 35 minutes, most Ashley dog owners tell us the drive is nothing compared to the results. Free parking, a 30-minute session, and a happy, tired dog on the way home.
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.
Are there any health conditions that prevent swimming?
Dogs with open wounds, active skin infections, untreated ear infections, or uncontrolled seizures should not swim until cleared by a vet. We're happy to advise if you're unsure about your dog's suitability.
