Swimming is great... but an ice cream afterwards makes it even better! 🍦🐶
Every swimming session comes with complimentary ice creams for dogs and their humans, plus chilled drinks to help everyone cool down.

Guess who came to visit us today? That’s right trainee police dog Simba!

🐾 A big milestone for TPD Simba! 💦

Today, Simba enjoyed his very first swim at the K9 Retreat, and it's safe to say he absolutely loved it!

With the recent spell of extreme hot weather, it was the perfect way for Simba to cool off while trying something new. First experiences are so important, which is why introducing him to the water in a safe, controlled environment was key to building his confidence. His handler joined him in the pool, making it a fun and rewarding experience for them both.

Swimming isn't just great fun—it also offers fantastic health benefits for working dogs. It's a low-impact form of exercise that helps improve fitness, build muscle strength, support joint health, and aid recovery, all while keeping them mentally stimulated.

These sessions are about so much more than swimming. They help strengthen the bond between handler and dog, build trust, and develop the confidence they'll rely on as they work together.

Well done, Simba! We can't wait to see you back in the pool!

Having Simba here felt like having a little piece of Major with us again.

We've filled the pool, stocked the freezer, and yes... the complimentary ice creams are back! 🍦
Every dog joining us for a swim will get a free dog-friendly ice cream, and their humans won't miss out either. 😎

☀️🐶 The warmer weather is on its way… and we can't wait! 💦
With temperatures forecast to soar over the coming weeks, now is the perfect time to book your dog's private swimming session before all the sunny-day slots disappear!
There's nothing better than watching your dog dive in, cool off, burn off some energy, and have the best time ever. Whether they're a water-loving swimmer or just enjoy a gentle paddle, every session is private, relaxed, and all about making special memories together.
And don't forget... you're welcome to get in and swim with your dog too! 🏊‍♀️🐾

People often ask us why we opened K9 Retreat, and the answer has always been very simple… Major. ❤️
Major was our ex-police dog, adopted from West Midlands Police when he was 10 years old. We were told he didn't like swimming… but they couldn't have been more wrong! In true spaniel fashion, he loved swimming almost as much as food, and anyone who knew him knows that's saying something. 🐾
Swimming was his happy place. Despite developing various health problems as he got older, he continued to enjoy the water right up until his condition took a turn for the worse. He passed away at the incredible age of 14 and a half,but his love for swimming never faded.
For years, I searched for somewhere just like K9 Retreat – somewhere private, calm, warm and dog-focused. But the places I found were either too far away or weren't heated, meaning they just weren't suitable for him. That's when the dream started.
Sadly, Major never got the chance to see K9 Retreat become a reality, or to take a single swim here himself. That will always be one of my biggest regrets.
Everything we have created is inspired by Major and the joy that swimming brought him. This pool is his legacy, and we feel incredibly lucky that we can now give so many other dogs the happiness, freedom and comfort that the water gave him.
Every wagging tail that runs through our doors, every nervous dog that finds confidence in the pool, and every smile we see reminds us why we started this journey.
This place exists because of one very special dog.
I only wish you had made it long enough to swim here just once, my beautiful boy. Every splash, every happy dog and every memory made here is for you. You left us far too soon, but your legacy lives on in every dog that dives into this pool.
Forever our Major. ❤️🐾🌈

We've loved welcoming so many amazing dogs for a splash in the pool, plenty of fun, and of course a delicious doggy ice cream to cool down afterwards! 🍦💦
A huge thank you to all of our wonderful customers for your continued support and for trusting us with your four-legged family members. Seeing so many happy wagging tails makes it all worthwhile! 🐶
