Our pool is 3.5m long x 2m wide x 1.2m deep and has been designed by K9 Surf specifically for canine hydrotherapy. It
has internal and external ramps to allow access for most dogs, however we do have an overhead hoist for those dogs who are
unable to use the ramp. The pool is maintained at 28-30 degrees celsius and the water is passed through a sand filter
and UV sanitisation system. Bromine is added to maintain a clean and safe swimming environment. The water is tested 2-3 times
a day in line with CHA regulations using a photometer and chemical levels are adjusted accordingly. We have a shower to allow
us to rinse the dogs prior to and after the session and a blaster to allow us to dry each dog.

All sessions are 1/2 hour, however a full hour is allocated for a first session to allow your pet to familiarise itself
with us and the pool area. Dogs often start by swimming for only a few minutes and gradually build up swim time with each
session. Sessions are tailor made for each individual dog depending on age, general health and reason for swimming.
