COMMON CONCERNS
Common Questions From Salwick
"What do I need to bring?"
Just your dog and a towel. If you're doing Owner In Pool, bring swimwear too. We provide life jackets, toys, and everything else needed. Free parking means you don't even need change for a meter.
"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.
"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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a session from Salwick?
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.
Can my dog swim if they've been neutered recently?
We recommend waiting at least 14 days after suture removal and getting the all-clear from your vet before swimming. The wound must be fully healed before entering the pool.
Is there anything to do near the pool while we're in Salwick?
We're rurally placed near Preston, with quiet lanes and farmland walks within a few minutes. Some owners turn a session into a half-day out with their dog.
Is Salwick actually closer than the next nearest pool?
From most Salwick postcodes you're around 15 minutes to us via the A59. The next nearest comparable heated dog pool is materially further — and rarely as quiet or as private.
How wet will my car be on the way back to Salwick?
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.
Is the pool available for birthday parties or special occasions?
We love celebrating milestones! Contact us about special occasion bookings. Many Salwick dog owners book celebration swims for birthdays or adoption anniversaries.
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.
