Before booking a swim session, where possible we recommend consulting a veterinarian if you have any concerns regarding your dog swimming or participating in the exercise that this entails. We do not accept any responsibility for injury occurring whilst participating in the swim centre activities at Scoobys as we do not have access to any medical records or knowledge of any health conditions your dog may have, we therefore can not offer any medical advice with regards to suitable activities.

You or your dog should not enter the pool if you have/had any of the following;

• consumed food in the last 90 minutes at least
• Any open wounds, bacterial infections, skin infections or contagious diseases
• have had any signs of sickness or diarrhoea in the last 12 hours
• have been advised against swimming or exercise
• have any serious cardiac or respiratory diseases that may impede physical fitness

The use of toys for encouragement in the pool. We have some toys that you are welcome to use whilst in the pool and you are welcome to bring their favorite toy if that will help, however by retrieving or grabbing a toy from the surface of water for long periods there is a risk of water ingestion, please inform us on arrival if you do not want toys used for these purposes by our staff. Although excess water ingestion is rare, we recommend that you familiarise yourself with symptoms of over hydration or fluid on the lungs, and monitor them after the swim session if you are concerned.

Humans entering the pool must be at least 150cm/5ft in height, be a competent swimmer or provide/wear suitable life support equipment, they should also be physically capable of supporting the dog swimming in case of difficulty. If you have any infectious foot conditions ie a verruca, please ensure you wear a suitable covering at all times in the pool area and pool. Children will not be allowed into the pool area for safety reasons and due to its close proximity to the day care, the inevitable excitement noise from a child will seriously agitate the dogs in the day care.

On your first session you will be asked to complete a short form with contact details, your dogs health (a declaration that you know of no reason they shouldn't participate) and any available vaccination details. these details will be kept in a safe place by us and only used to satisfy the license requirements of record keeping in case of an infectious outbreak, we do not use these details or pass them on to any other person or business.

Please keep your dog on a short lead and under control at all times whilst at any of Scoobys facilities, please discourage your dog from continual barking as this can antagonise other dogs in the facility. Should your dog toilet anywhere inside, please tell us so we can ensure it is cleaned up properly.
