IS YOUR DOG STRUGGLING?
Why Walks Alone Aren't Enough for Treales Dogs
Diets Not Working Alone
Diet changes help, but exercise is essential for healthy weight loss. Swimming burns 5x more calories than walking without any joint impact.
Reduced Life Expectancy
Overweight dogs live on average 2 years less. Starting a swimming programme now can add healthy, active years to your dog's life.
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.

WHAT SETS US APART
Weight Management Swimming for Lancashire Dogs
Over half of UK dogs are overweight, and the health consequences are serious: reduced lifespan, increased cancer risk, joint disease, diabetes, and reduced quality of life. The good news is that swimming makes weight loss achievable, safe, and genuinely enjoyable for dogs.
Unlike crash diets or forced marches, our Weighty Woofers programme works with your dog's natural love of water and movement. Most dogs look forward to swim day — they don't know they're on a weight loss programme. They just know they had a brilliant time.
Builds Lean Muscle
Swimming doesn't just burn fat — it builds lean muscle mass simultaneously, improving your dog's metabolism and body composition.
Measurable Results
With regular sessions and dietary adjustments, most dogs show measurable weight loss within 3–4 weeks.
All Breeds Welcome
From Labradors to French Bulldogs — we help all breeds manage their weight through safe, effective swimming.

WHY DOG OWNERS VISIT US
What Treales Dog Owners Come to Us For
Long-Term Health Investment
Overweight dogs live 2 years less on average. Investing in regular swimming can literally add years to your dog's life.
Progress You Can Measure
Free weigh-ins at every Weighty Woofers session mean real numbers, real progress, and real motivation.
Joint-Safe Calorie Burning
Every extra kilo puts 4x more force on joints when walking. Swimming removes this impact while burning 5x the calories.
Exercise Your Dog Can't Do on Land
Dogs too heavy for comfortable walking can swim happily for 30 minutes. Water supports 90% of their body weight.
Metabolic Boost
Swimming builds lean muscle mass, which increases your dog's metabolism. They burn more calories even at rest.
Why Weight Management Matters for Treales Dogs
Overweight dogs live on average 2 years less than healthy-weight dogs. Treales dog owners who address their dog's weight through swimming are investing in longer, happier, healthier lives.
WHO SWIMS WITH US
Dog Owners From Treales Who Visit Our Pool

YOUR QUESTIONS
Before You Visit — Your Questions Answered
"My dog is too heavy to exercise — how can they swim?"
This is exactly why swimming is perfect! Water supports 90% of body weight, making movement easy and pain-free for even the heaviest dogs. Dogs who can barely walk often swim happily for 30 minutes.
"What if my dog doesn't like it?"
In our experience, the vast majority of dogs take to our warm pool quickly. We never force dogs into the water — they enter at their own pace via a gentle ramp. The warm temperature makes it inviting rather than intimidating.
"What if my dog has health issues?"
We cater for all conditions — arthritis, hip dysplasia, obesity, post-surgery recovery, and more. We'll ask about your dog's health before their first session and tailor everything accordingly. We welcome vet referrals too.
"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.
WHAT DOG OWNERS SAY
Hear From Happy Lancashire Dogs & Owners
"My husband was sceptical about paying for dog swimming. After one session watching our old boy move freely for the first time in months, he was completely convinced."
Catherine D.
Labrador, 13 years
"The water is so clean and warm — nothing like the filthy puddles and ponds our dog usually finds! He loves it and comes home smelling fresh instead of swampy."
Sophie W.
Springer Spaniel, 6 years
"The owner-in-pool session is such a unique experience. Swimming with my golden retriever in warm water — it's our favourite thing to do together."
Chris B.
Golden Retriever, 3 years
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Got Questions? We've Got Answers
What breeds are most prone to weight gain?
Labradors, Beagles, Cocker Spaniels, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Pugs, and Dachshunds are particularly prone. But any breed can gain weight — and any breed benefits from our swimming programme.
How much weight can my dog lose through swimming?
Results vary by breed and starting weight, but we regularly see dogs lose 1–2kg per month with weekly sessions combined with diet management. Some dogs have lost over 5kg in our programme.
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.
How often should my dog swim for weight loss?
For best results, we recommend 1–2 sessions per week combined with dietary adjustments your vet recommends. Most dogs see noticeable results within 4–6 weeks.
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.
Can overweight puppies join Weighty Woofers?
Yes — growing puppies carrying excess weight benefit enormously from swimming because it provides exercise without stressing developing joints. We'll adjust the session for their age and size.
What's included in the Weighty Woofers price?
At £40 per session you get a 30-minute swimming session, a free weigh-in, progress tracking, and tailored exercise intensity. No membership fees, no contracts.
