With the news that Andy and Jo at the long-established Canine Dip and Dive have been ‘asked to put together a draft set of guidelines for industry leaders and local authorities for dog swimming pools and how they are run’, we thought we’d share with you how we’re doing our bit to improve industry standards.

'We took our Rottie Amber to Dengie Doggy Dive-In. The Splash Team were friendly, professional and efficient and the guy in the pool with Amber was so good with her. She was a little apprehensive at first even though she loves the water but he soon got her leaping off the ramp with gusto!'
02.
'My puppy Billy and I attended the soft launch at Dengie Doggy Dive-In yesterday evening and had so much fun! The 24ft heated swimming pool is the perfect size for all breeds of dog and there was plenty of toys to go round! Swim vests are also provided for those pups with slightly less confidence. Thoroughly enjoyed our fun swim and can't wait to go back!'

'Took our Bernese Mountain Dog swimming. Was an amazing set up and staff are so good with your dogs. We will definitely be going more often.'
