Happy Tails Resort & Spa...where dogs swim for the health of it, and have fun doing it. Beth has been training and showing dogs for more than 25 years. After her Great Dane Rocky had spinal surgery, Beth saw the need for a FULL SIZE POOL. In January 2002, she combined her training experience and her love for helping dogs and the people who love them, into this warm, clean and inviting pool.

The full size pool (18x26) is heated and encolsed for year round use. Happy Tails Resort and Spa has multiple dryers, so your dog(s) never has to go home wet. A changing room is available so you may hoin your dog and Beth in the warm water if you choose. There are always lots of toys for those who love to retrieve, and due to arthritis or injury, the water may be the only place thay are allowed to retrieve. This pool was designed so the dogs could have enough room to really swim. The pool is open to healthy dogs, dogs recovering from surgery, injured dogs or even a pool party with friends (15 dog limit). All this at an affordable price.

Because of the busy schedule at the pool and the special needs of many of our swimmers (dogs), please CALL to schedule your swim appointment.

K9Rejuvenation is located in Milton Washington and provides warm water aquatics for canines in an environment where emotional safety comes before the first stroke. Owners can enjoy a snack while their dog is introduced to the wonders of warm water. In addition to swimming, Rema utilizes other techniques such as soft tissue massage, T-touch, acupressure and Reiki to enhance the benefits of the swim session.

Rema has a heart for geriatric dogs and career canines; those who work for the community as tracking, drug, search and rescue, and bomb detection dogs. If you are a handler of one of these incredible dogs contact me about free sessions.

The 7x14 pool is set at ground level and has wide stairs for safe access. Benches on the side provide a safe resting spot and easy access for body work. Jets can be turned on for the powerful swimmers with an abundance of energy and strength that need extra resistance. See Rema's website at k9rejuvenation.com for further information.
