COMMON CONCERNS

Why Clitheroe Dog Owners Are Choosing Swimming

Stiff Joints & Slowing Down

Older dogs in Clitheroe often slow down because walks hurt their joints. Swimming gives them exercise without the pain.

Repetitive Exercise Injuries

Dogs who only walk or run develop overuse injuries. Swimming provides cross-training that builds balanced strength and prevents strain.

Nowhere Safe to Swim

Rivers and lakes near Clitheroe can be dangerous — strong currents, blue-green algae, hidden debris. Your dog deserves a safe, controlled environment.

Sound familiar? Swimming solves all of these — safely and enjoyably.

COMMON CONCERNS

What to Know Before Your First Visit From Clitheroe

"Can I bring more than one dog from Clitheroe?"

Yes! Our Owner In Pool sessions welcome up to 4 dogs. Multi-dog households from Clitheroe love bringing all their dogs for a group swim. Same price per session regardless of dog numbers.

"How much does it cost?"

Sessions start from just £35 for Owner In Pool and Group Classes, and £40 for Swim Coach and Weighty Woofers. Compare that to a vet hydrotherapy session at £50–80+ and you're getting outstanding value.

"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.

"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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Your Clitheroe Swimming Questions, Answered

What happens during the first session?

We'll do a quick health chat about your dog's breed, age, and any conditions. Then we introduce them to the pool gradually via the ramp. First-timers get extra settling-in time. Most dogs are swimming happily within minutes.

Do you do gift vouchers for dog owners in Clitheroe?

Yes. Vouchers are a popular present for Clitheroe dog owners — birthdays, Christmas, or a new puppy in the family. Call 07359 881320 to arrange one.

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.

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.

Is the drive from Clitheroe worth it?

At just 30 minutes, most Clitheroe 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.

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.

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 Clitheroe.
