Awesome swimming experience for our Siberian husky! With the wonderful help of staff, our pupwas quick to trust and had so much fun with the water toys. Yes, she fetched ALOT of toys!!! On another note, the staff helped us to advance from kibble to making our own dog food. They sell the vitamin/minerals right there as well as probiotics. I recommend this business to all dog owners and when you visit them, check out their awesome dog treats!

If I could give this place 10 stars I would!!! My golden isn't doing so great because of hip dysplasia, I saw an immediate difference after her swim therapy! The staff is incredibly friendly! It is a very clean facility, and the dog showers have nice towels, shampoo and conditioner...not to mention to dog dryer!!! My only regret, is that I didn't know about this place sooner! We will be back!

I love the puddle! Very wonderful place and very affordable. I have been coming here for a very long time to use the self wash on my lab who has very bad allergies and requires a thoroughly wash every few weeks to maintain her hotspots. This facility allows me to scrub her down and doesn’t matter how long you stay you’re always welcomed. I came in on 11/29 day after thanksgiving just as they were closing and wasn’t sure of the hours as they changed due to Black Friday. This wonderful lady I forgot to catch her name and I wish I really did as she went out of her way to stay after hours for my dog. She deserves to be recognized. Came out from the back and offered to stay past the time for me to give my pup a bath after the other ladies said they were closed for the day. I couldn’t have asked for a more sweeter lady. Thank you, it made my day and I appreciate your kindness so very much. The sweetest angel. I recommend this place to everyone!

Great place to take your dog to bathe them quickly and painlessly. My neighbors have taken their two goldens there and they had a great experience so I tried it with my dog and it was so easy, inexpensive and worthwhile. It’s immaculate, the shampoo and towels are provided and the staff were helpful as to how to get started if you’re new to the experience. Wonderful place and they offer a wide variety of holistic dog food and treats.
