WHY CHOOSE US
Why Swimming Is the Best Exercise for Overweight Cuerden Dogs
Walking an overweight dog sounds logical, but it can actually cause harm. Every extra kilogram puts four times more force on joints during walking. For a dog 5kg overweight, that's 20kg of extra joint force with every step. Swimming eliminates this entirely because water supports 90% of body weight.
Dogs in our Weighty Woofers programme typically lose 1-2kg per month with weekly sessions and dietary adjustments. We track every weigh-in, celebrate milestones, and adjust session intensity as your dog gets fitter. It's a programme that works — and dogs love it.
All Breeds Welcome
From Labradors to French Bulldogs — we help all breeds manage their weight through safe, effective swimming.
Extended Lifespan
Overweight dogs live on average 2 years less than healthy-weight dogs. Our programme can add healthy, active years to your dog's life.
Zero Joint Impact
Every extra kilo puts 4x force on joints during walking. Swimming removes this impact entirely, protecting already-strained joints.

Common Questions From Cuerden
"How quickly will my dog lose weight from Cuerden?"
Most dogs lose 1–2kg per month with weekly Weighty Woofers sessions plus dietary adjustments. We weigh in every visit and chart progress so you can see exactly how things are tracking.
"Is the Weighty Woofers programme expensive?"
At £40 per session including free weigh-ins and progress tracking, it's significantly less than vet-led weight management programmes. Compare it to the long-term costs of obesity-related health problems.
"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.
"Do I need to book in advance?"
We recommend booking ahead as sessions fill up, especially evenings and weekends. Call 07359 881320, fill in our form, or email us. We try to accommodate short-notice bookings when possible.
