RECOGNISE THE SIGNS?
Sound Familiar? Feniscowles Dogs Deserve Better
Nervous Around Water
Many dogs in Lancashire have never been introduced to water properly. Our gentle approach builds lifelong water confidence.
Repetitive Exercise Injuries
Dogs who only walk or run develop overuse injuries. Swimming provides cross-training that builds balanced strength and prevents strain.
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.
Sound familiar? Swimming solves all of these — safely and enjoyably.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the health benefits of dog swimming?
Swimming provides cardiovascular fitness, muscle building, weight management, joint rehabilitation, mental stimulation, and improved range of motion — all with zero impact on joints. It's the most complete exercise available for dogs.
Is there parking at the pool?
Yes — free parking right by the entrance at Pompian Brow Farm, Bretherton, PR26 9AQ. Easy access from Feniscowles.
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.
Do you do gift vouchers for dog owners in Feniscowles?
Yes. Vouchers are a popular present for Feniscowles dog owners — birthdays, Christmas, or a new puppy in the family. Call 07359 881320 to arrange one.
What's the difference between Swim Coach and Owner In Pool?
In Owner In Pool sessions, you get in the water with your dog. In Swim Coach sessions, one of our trained team members is in the pool guiding your dog — ideal for rehabilitation, nervous dogs, or when you'd rather watch from poolside.
How often should my dog swim?
For general fitness, once a week is brilliant. For weight loss or rehabilitation, twice a week is recommended. Even fortnightly sessions make a noticeable difference.
Do Lancashire vets recommend your pool?
Yes — veterinary practices across Lancashire refer patients to us regularly for post-surgery rehabilitation, arthritis management, and weight loss. We're happy to work alongside your vet to support your dog's health.
