Welcome to The Total Dog
"Swim & Gym!"

The Total Dog specializes in canine swimming, fitness and injury recovery.  At The Total Dog, we emphasize "a body in motion, stays in motion" and we offer a support system for overall fitness. Our focus and specialty is water-work, however we have vast resources for optimal canine health, whether at The Total Dog or elsewhere. We consider The Total Dog a wellness center for your dog's body, mind and spirit.

Evidence of the many health benefits of warm water therapy is growing, and there is no substitute for a proper exercise program. Our mission is to provide a professional, safe and dog friendly environment with services catered toward your dog's need for optimal wellness. We strive to provide a professional as well as friendly environment, and truly appreciate each and every person who has chosen The Total Dog for their pet's fitness and injury recovery needs.

Whether the goal for your beloved pet is to maintain optimal physical and psychological health, manage body condition (gain or lose weight) or help prevent injuries or recover post surgically, we can help you to incorporate an exercise program for The Total Dog.

Our services are an ideal support system for your dog's general well-being or health challenge. For injured, ill or weight-challenged pets, we work closely with you and your veterinarian (as indicated), to put together a program that will meet your dog's potential for optimal mental and physical soundness.

Plus we offer "swim lessons" and "pool safety" to ensure your dog will be a safe and happy swim star.  We also offer "meet-up" and group lesson opportunities.

Owned and operated by veterinary professionals since 2009, The Total Dog offers swimming, exercise, massage, behavior and nutrition guidance, pet owner education, in-home pet care and swim instruction, limited day-care, home boarding, pet-sitting as well as networking with fellow dog owners, pet professionals and veterinarians.

Swimming and exercises should be approved by your veterinarian and then carefully performed and monitored by trained personnel. If you are not completely satisfied with the care you or your dog has received, please let know.

Underwater Treadmill

The underwater treadmill is one of three bodies of water for exercise and recovery. The underwater treadmill has the unique exercise benefits of a land treadmill plus the resistance of water in a partially weight bearing environment. The water can also be jetted - for the benefits of whirlpool massage. It is the perfect complement to our canine swim and fitness center.

Give us a call ...Our facility is available for meet-up, adoption and fund-raising events.

--------------------------------------------

We are always soliciting financial donations and resources for The Total Dog Foundation. The foundation is a non-profit resource center for pets and families in need. Our cases are primarily homeless, medically challenged dogs who have been abandoned and would have otherwise been euthanized. These dogs are saved by local rescue groups from animal shelters, then given a second chance at having a better quality of life and a permanent, loving family. You can help by becoming a part of the The Total Dog Foundation resource network. Financial contributions are always in need, but there are many other ways to help...such as fostering, sponsoring, dog walking & transportaion, adoption event dog-handling, fund raising and more...

As I becomes We, We become One - united we can make a difference in the world.
