FOR MELLOR BROOK DOGS
The Swimming Pool Built Specifically for Dogs Near Mellor Brook
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 Mellor Brook 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.
Gentle Ramp Entry
Dogs enter via a gradual ramp — no jumping required. Perfect for nervous first-timers and dogs with mobility issues.
Zero Joint Impact
Water supports 90% of body weight, making swimming the safest form of exercise for dogs of all ages and conditions.
Full-Body Workout
Swimming engages every major muscle group simultaneously. 30 minutes in the pool equals 90 minutes of walking.

WHY DOG OWNERS VISIT US
What Mellor Brook Dog Owners Come to Us For
A Proper Workout for High-Energy Dogs
Walks aren't enough for some breeds. Swimming burns 5x the calories in half the time — your dog comes home genuinely tired.
A Bonding Experience
Owner In Pool sessions let you swim alongside your dog — one of the most rewarding experiences you can share together.
Better Sleep and Behaviour
A 30-minute swim leaves dogs mentally and physically satisfied. Owners report better behaviour, better sleep, and a calmer home.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Your Questions, Answered
"Is swimming tiring for dogs?"
Very! 30 minutes of swimming is equivalent to about 90 minutes of walking in terms of energy expenditure. Most dogs sleep soundly on the drive home to Mellor Brook and are calm all evening.
"What if my dog can't swim at all?"
Many dogs who visit us have never swum before — that's perfectly fine. We use life jackets, gradual ramp entry, and gentle encouragement. Swimming is a natural instinct for most dogs; they just need the right introduction.
"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!
"Do you offer discounts for regular swimmers from Mellor Brook?"
Yes — we offer multi-session packages at a discount for regular swimmers. Ask about our package deals when you book. Many Mellor Brook dog owners find monthly packages the best value.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common Questions From Mellor Brook Owners
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes — sessions are by appointment only to ensure every dog gets private pool time. We recommend booking at least a few days ahead, especially for weekend sessions. Call 07359 881320 or use our online form.
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.
How wet will my car be on the way back to Mellor Brook?
Hardly at all. We have a dedicated drying area on site and most dogs are touch-dry before they leave. Bring a towel for the back seat just in case.
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.
How long is each swimming session?
Sessions are 30 minutes of pool time. We recommend arriving 10 minutes early for your first visit so we can complete a quick health assessment.
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.
Is the drive from Mellor Brook worth it?
At just 20 minutes, most Mellor Brook 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.
