Dog Swimming

Swimming is the perfect activity for all dogs young or old.

Swimming is non-weight bearing and avoids all the stresses and strains of exercising on hard ground.

If your dog suffers from any of these conditions, then warm water swimming can help:

Poor circulation and joint mobility*
Hip and/or elbow dysplasia*

Then TranquilPET is the place for your dog!

What is an Assessment Swim?

This is required for all new dog clients to help me get a feel for their comfort level in the the pool. During this assessment:

Your dog is offered Reiki
Your dog is offered a light massage
Your dog wears a life vest
I monitor their breathing and heart rate
I never take my hands off your dog while in pool

Swim Assessment Cost: $125

1. Schedule a short 15-minute telephone call with Jean. This call is to confirm that your pet is ready for a swim.

2. Once we schedule your dog’s assessment swim, this session must be pre-paid.

3. If your dog is a senior and/or has a current medical issue, your vet’s written approval is required — no exceptions.

4. After this Assessment, we will discuss future swim sessions for your dog.

Please complete the following:

SWIMMING WILL HELP TO STRENGTHEN YOUR DOG’S MUSCLES WITHOUT RISKING FURTHER INJURY

*Your veterinarian’s written approval is required for all of the above conditions. Why not set up a free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss with Jean. (Connect to phone consult)

As each dog is different, each swim session is tailored to meet your own dog’s needs:

Price of all future swims:

1. $75 per swim for 30 minutes

2. If you purchase a package of 4, cost is $70 per swim (x4)

3. All must be pre-paid

4. You will receive an invoice with a payment link

All swims may include:

pool swim play time (fetching toys, exercises and swim laps)
If your dog is competitive, I race your dog for water toys
light massage is given during rest times

Benefits to your dog:

strengthens their cardio muscle
builds up their stamina
builds their leg muscle mass

LEARN TO SWIM:

Contrary to popular belief, not all dogs swim instinctively or even enjoy it. I help your dog build their confidence to eliminate their fear of the water and have fun doing it!

Each dog is different — some overcome fears during their first swim. For others, it may take longer — watch Elvis video — Elvis took 9 separate swims before he overcame his fear and started having fun. Today, he is an expert dock-diver. (At first, we could not get him in the water ….. today, we cannot keep him out!)

RECREATIONAL SWIM:

This category is for the dog that already knows how to swim and swims for overall fun, fitness & exercise. Recreational swimmers have no medical issues. They may or may not wear a life vest.

Other benefits: Sometimes I find that a dog prefers swimming with another dog (not just me). If that is the case with your dog, I may pair with another dog. This swim still includes all benefits listed above.

(No more than 3 dogs will be allowed in my pool at any given time — and I am always in the pool with them.)

WELLNESS SWIM:

This swim is appropriate for all senior dogs: arthritic, overweight, and dogs that require low impact workout.

As our dogs age, we become aware that they struggle with long walks. Swimming replaces those walks as it is non-weight bearing and builds up those leg muscles and improve cardio endurance. This swim is designed to replace those long walks.

This swim requires your vet’s written approval – no exceptions. DOWNLOAD Vet Approval Form

OWN A POOL?

Does your dog know how to get out of your pool? I have heard too many stories of how a dog fell into a pool and drowned because they did not know where/how to exit. Please do not let this happen to your pet.

I PROVIDE SWIM LESSONS FROM THE CONVENIENCE OF YOUR OWN POOL.
