Canine Dip and Dive Plymouth

…just add water


Canine Dip and Dive is quite simply, a 32ft outdoor swimming pool for dogs.

We have our fantastic floating ramp to make it easy for dogs to get in and out of the water, and a platform to dive in from for the more adventurous! Their humans are allowed in too to join them for a swim.

The area around the pool is fenced off and we have a number of group classes or solo sessions so you can choose the one that best suits your furbaby.

Our Services

  • Puppy & Senior Classes

    These classes are designed to be gentle and calm to either introduce your puppy to the delights of water, or let your golden oldie swim in a more stress free environment. Booking with others gives the added benefit of socialising and the more timid tend to get braver when watching the more adventurous! There's nothing better than climbing in with them too so don't forget your towel if you fancy a dip!

    Price

    From £16 per dog per half hour session. Maximum 3 dogs per Senior class and 3 puppies per Puppy class.

  • Buddy's Pool Party & Buddy's Dip & Dive

    If you and your furbaby like a bit more fun then why not join one of our pool parties or dip and dive. The pool party is a splashing time where up to 4 dogs and their humans (if you're feeling brave) enjoy the water together with toys. Dip and dive is the same but with more focus on jumping in and a maximum number of 3 dogs.

    Price

    From £16 per dog per half hour session. Maximum 4 dogs per party or 3 for Dip & Dive
