Is your dog:

a swim at the Mega-Dogs pool !
Swimming
- A Success Story
My oldest dog, Lindy, has had three major surgeries - one
to her spine and two that removed bones and surrounding muscle tissue from her
rear legs. After each, the vet cautioned us that she might never walk
again.
Today Lindy walks, runs, jumps, and competes in agility,
even out-running dogs one-third her
age!
Swimming made this possible.
The Perfect Exercise
Medical professionals will tell you that swimming
offers many benefits for people and dogs alike. It is low impact, non
weight-bearing, and easy on
the joints. It exercises multiple muscle groups. You can work out for longer periods without overheating.
After Lindy's first surgery, we were very fortunate to find
a place where she could swim - at the time, it was the only one in the northwest!
Today, there are several facilities available for canine hydrotherapy, and the
services are varied.
 The
Mega-Dogs Difference
Many of the other local dog spas focus on massage and
relaxation. The water is kept above 90 degrees, which is ideal for
loosening muscles and soothing arthritic joints. However, it's too hot for
vigorous exercise.
The Mega-Dogs pool is geared towards a workout. It is
heated to approx 88 degrees - still warm and comfy, but allowing for
extended activity without the danger of you or your dog becoming overheated.
The pool was specifically designed and built for dog swim
therapy. Filtration and sanitation systems are oversized to handle the
extra challenges that our furry friends present. No harsh chemicals are
used - ozone and salt keep the water soft, clean, and clear.
The glass pool house keeps things comfortable in any
weather. Floors, walls, and ceiling are all designed for splashing and
playing - there are no restrictions against having fun ! There are toys,
life jackets, swim harnesses, and dryers available for your use.
