IS YOUR DOG STRUGGLING?
What Most Hesketh with Becconsall Dog Owners Don't Realise
Vet's Weight Warning
If your vet in Hesketh with Becconsall has mentioned your dog's weight, our Weighty Woofers programme is the most effective and enjoyable solution available.
Joints Under Strain
Every extra kilo puts 4x more force on your dog's joints. Walking an overweight dog can actually cause more harm — swimming removes that strain entirely.
Exercise Makes Things Worse
Overweight dogs who walk too much damage their joints. It's a cruel catch-22 — they need exercise but can't exercise safely on land. Swimming solves this.
Expensive vet bills and medication only manage symptoms. Swimming addresses the root cause.

FOR HESKETH WITH BECCONSALL DOGS
The Weighty Woofers Programme
Our dedicated Weighty Woofers programme is designed specifically for dogs who need to shed excess weight. Each session includes a weigh-in, a tailored swimming session, and progress tracking. The water's buoyancy means your dog can exercise intensely without the joint damage that comes from running or walking while overweight.
A 30-minute swim burns the same calories as a 90-minute walk — but without any impact on joints. For overweight dogs, this is critical. Excess weight already puts enormous strain on joints, ligaments, and the cardiovascular system. Swimming removes that strain entirely while providing a full-body workout.
Safe for Heavy Dogs
Water supports 90% of body weight, making swimming comfortable for even the heaviest dogs who struggle on land.
All Breeds Welcome
From Labradors to French Bulldogs — we help all breeds manage their weight through safe, effective swimming.
Free Weigh-Ins
Every Weighty Woofers session includes a free weigh-in so you can track progress and celebrate milestones.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Everything You Need to Know
Realistically, how much weight can my dog lose?
Combined with diet, dogs from Hesketh with Becconsall typically lose 0.5–1% of body weight per week safely. We've helped some lose 20%+ of starting weight over a structured 12-week block.
Can my dog lose weight just by swimming without changing diet?
Swimming alone will help, but the best results come from combining regular swimming with dietary adjustments recommended by your vet. We focus on the exercise side — your vet handles nutrition.
How far is Weighty Woofers from Hesketh with Becconsall?
We're just 5 minutes from Hesketh with Becconsall. Our Weighty Woofers programme at £40 per session includes a free weigh-in and tailored swimming — outstanding value compared to vet-led weight programmes.
Will swimming help my dog's joints as well as their weight?
Absolutely. Swimming simultaneously reduces weight (removing joint strain) and builds muscle (supporting joints). It's a double benefit that makes it the gold standard exercise for overweight dogs with joint issues.
My vet says my dog needs to lose weight — can you help?
Absolutely. Our Weighty Woofers programme is designed for exactly this. Many vets across Lancashire recommend us as the exercise component of their weight management plans.
Do you track my dog's weight?
Yes — every Weighty Woofers session includes a free weigh-in. We track progress over time and celebrate milestones. You'll see measurable results in your dog's weight and body condition.
Is the Weighty Woofers programme supervised?
You can choose Owner In Pool (you swim with your dog) or Swim Coach (our team member guides your dog). For weight loss, Swim Coach is recommended as we can control exercise intensity more precisely.
