Where to Find Dog Swimming Pools in Suffolk
Just when you think you’ve seen it all, they go and invent dog swimming pools. At first glance, you might think this sounds as bizarre as fidget spinners, but there are actually proven benefits from having your pooch visit dog swimming pools when enjoying a dog friendly holiday in Suffolk. Still on the fence or completely unconvinced? Perhaps the following explanation and insight will win you round.
Gaining popularity in recent years, swimming pools for dogs are proven to be a great way of improving the overall health and fitness of your four-legged friend. Far less intense than long walks or runs, it turns out that swimming aids with muscle strength and cardio in dogs just as it does us humans.
Another benefit of dog paddling pools and dog swimming pools is that they provide a safe environment for pooches to socialise. Just as we might find ourselves speaking to fellow swimmers during a dip in the pool on holiday, it has been demonstrated that dogs are quite similar to us in this regard and an afternoon in the pool can leave them getting on better with other animals.
Though it may well go without saying, dog swimming pools are also fantastic for allowing dogs to cool off in the hotter months when they can be particularly prone to the heat. In short, dog swimming pools are a fantastic way for dogs to get some exercise and socialisation without the risk of them over-exerting themselves. There’s also no denying that observing a dog swimming pool in Suffolk makes for a great day out. Indeed, who wouldn’t find it amusing to see all dogs large and small swimming around together?
