The “Oval Pool", a Paws to Swim exclusive, is maintained at a higher temperature for those dogs that prefer warmer water.  It is a semi-in ground pool, 14’ long X 8’ wide and 2 1/2ft deep.  Dogs who prefer to be “warmer” and “closer” with their owners benefit with this pool.  Your dog is gently placed in the water versus going down a ramp entrance.  As the dog swims the owner remains inches away.  Many of the Toy Breeds and smaller housedogs prefer this pool.  Also, the warmer temperature aids older arthritic dogs and dogs recuperating from surgery.
