How much time will my dog actually spend in the pool?
In a one-hour session expect your dog to spend approximately 50 minutes in the pool with the therapist, (depending on the individual dog).

All sessions are one hour from start to finish.What should I bring?
Please bring your own dog towels as we do not provide them. We do have a professional dog dryer to use if you wish, but all drying time, whether by towel or dryer, is included in the one-hour time slot.Are non-pool sessions available?
