Welcome to Frisky Pup!
Getting started is really very simple, just follow the steps as outlined below.
We have set out this process to best serve you and your dog. It is very important to have all the forms filled out prior to the first visit.
The veterinary release form is required for ALL clients so that we know there are no contraindications to hydrotherapy (reasons not to swim).
The most effective therapy comes when it is well informed and planned, as well this allows the for a collaboration between the Hydrotherapist and the Veterinarian.

As soon as we receive the Vet Release we will text you the location and instructions as well as the online booking link so that you can book the sessions as they work best for you.
Please feel free to park on the street, behind the Ford Flex with the K9HYDRO plates or in the driveway if there is a space.
Please arrive a bit early so that you can allow your dog time to relieve him(her)self before swimming.
You can enter the facility on the left of the garage
Outside please be sure to always have your dog on a leash
If you require a bag for clean-up after your dog just ask as we have some available
If another dog is leaving please wait to enter until they are in their vehicles or out of range of an encounter
Upon Arrival at Frisky Pup:
We provide towels on site but please feel free to bring whatever you need for outside or in your vehicle
We also provide a high power blow dryer for client use to dry your dog after its swim
It is a wet area (mainly after the swim) you may want to wear shoes that are OK to get wet.
We use treats as a motivator and to encourage a friendly bond with the Hydrotherapist, how we treat during a session is generally not how it should be done at home. If your dog has a favourite treat please feel free to bring those to your session OR a favourite toy if they are toy motivated
Around the Pool:
At the Session End:
Watch for the possibility of other dogs arriving – if there is someone waiting at the door ask for assistance
Cancelation Policy:
We appreciate your patronage and as such your swim session times are reserved for you. Because of the nature of our business and limited availability, short notice cancellations (less than 24 hours) will be charged a $50 cancellation fee.
If you are not able to keep your appointment, please inform us at least 24 hours in advance so that you can avoid any unnecessary costs and so the time can be given to another dog in need of therapy.
Thank you
