More about Fit Dogs & swimming

 

Founded by Tamara Zerener, Fit Dogs has been tiring Toronto's dogs on land and in the water since 1997. She opened the city's first dog pool at her 227 Broadview Ave. location.

 

Whether you want your dog to burn energy, learn to swim, recuperate from injury or surgery, lose weight, or just enjoy a memorable doggie swim laps with his friends, we've been here to help make it happen.

 

 

Our Facility

 

At our indoor pond, your dog can do laps, fetch, have hands-on support, or be tethered to the poolside to tread water - whatever suits your goals and your dog's abilities and preferences.

 

The aboveground pool is 8 x 20 ft. around, with a water depth of 3 ½ ft. It's heated to 30º C (87º F) to promote circulation and relax muscles.

 

A gentle, chemical-free, salt chlorine generator keeps water clean and silky. Wide, rubber-topped ramps allow for safe and gradual entry and exit. K9 life jackets of all sizes are on hand.

Afterward we use the poolside shower and blow dryer to rinse and lightly dry off your dog so he goes back home smelling sweet and ready to nap in your arms.

 

 

Who can benefit?

 

Just about any dog! Swimming's a fantastic workout - strengthening heart and lungs, and building muscle without stressing joints and ligaments. This is a safe, effective complement to exercise on dry land.

It's especially helpful for:


So much better for body and mind than confinement and inactivity!
