    Brandy's first swim with Cathy @ The Puddle! 3.23.18
    Courtney O.

    So, my beagle, Brandy, is a fospice failure. Officially adopted! But that being said...she has malignant melanoma, and her time left on this planet is rather unknown. :( So she decided to #livelikeroo (if you're unfamiliar, you should definitely google it!) and Brandy the Beagle's Bucket List was born. We've made a steady clip on it, but yesterday we found out some generous, anonymous soul donated a swim sesh for our girl out of the kindness of her (or his?) heart. *swoon* Cathy, the amazing owner of The Puddle, reached out on Instagram (yes, Brandy has her own account...don't judge) and she was immediately amazing. Not even kidding. We exchanged a few emails, spoke on the phone, and set up an appointment for yesterday morning at 11AM. You guys, this place is AWESOME. Okay, for starters...it's pristine. The shop itself, the pool, the pool area, the drying area, the self dog wash area...all spotlessly clean. It's like dogs don't even set foot in here, let alone parade through here all day. As a germaphobe, these things matter greatly to me, believe me. Second: Cathy is basically a dog whisperer. If you're a pet parent, you know that warm & fuzzy feeling you get when someone is so incredibly (& genuinely) sweet to your furry family member? That's Cathy. Brandy adored her immediately. *I* adored her immediately. She was SO good with my pup. So gentle, so loving, so kind. I had zero hesitation about having my "non-swimming" dog in a wonderfully warm pool as I sat on the sidelines. Cathy was perfectly attentive and intuitive. She provided a fantastic work-to-rest ratio and was never out of arm's reach; she let Brandy swim independently but stayed close. She switched back and forth from life jacket swimming to free swimming, but always watched Brandy for any signs of stress and/or fatigue. So, how did she, my sweet beagle, like her swimming experience? Brandy LOVED it, you guys. Loved. It. She took to it like--wait for it--a dog (duck?) to water. (Cheesy, I know. But seriously!) She had an absolute blast and was so calm, so content, so happy. After her swim sesh, you would've thought she was a one year old puppy, not a senior beagle with terminal cancer. Total case of the "zoomies". And then she slept the whole 90 minute drive home! If you're thinking about introducing your pup to swimming, The Puddle is the place to go. Truth: not all dogs are natural swimmers. Some can't, and that means they sink. Not kidding, you guys. If your canine companion is going to be around water, you definitely need to check this out. Cathy at The Puddle is the best of the best. This is honestly one of the easiest five stars I've ever Yelped. Ever.

    This place is awesome. Very friendly and caring staff. I have been bringing my 15 yr old pitbull Bruce there weekly for awhile now.my boy has arthritis ,so hes not getting around the greatest these days and the Puddle has been a blessing. It helps him get exercise as well as helps with range of motion..they also sell alot of good products there...

    Brought my foster dog here for physical therapy after he had his acl operated on. The staff was always warm and welcoming and the work they did with Tenny was amazing. I'd recommend them for anyone who's pet needs physical therapy or even diversified, low impact exercise. The staff is very knowledgeable and accommodating for your pets needs and solely focus on giving them the care they need and deserve. Ultimately we adopted Tenny and welcomed him into our home forever and if he needs another knee surgery I wouldn't bring him anywhere else for rehabbing his strength and conditioning. Tenny was finicky about water getting in his ears so the instructor gave him a sort of a shower cap to help keep the water from bothering him as he swam and it really seemed to help keep him on track through training as he wasn't distracted or slowed down by having to try and shake water out. They accommodate everything your pet needs in order to focus on the training and conditioning they are providing! I LOVE THIS PLACE!

    The Puddle is the best! Great team and they truly care for the overall well being of our dogs! Kathy even painted a beautiful picture of our Sydney after she passed away. From swimming, baths to food and treats they provide the best!

    This place is awesome!! The staff and owner are super friendly. They really do care for the dogs and help them out in the pool. I had an older dog Mya with bad hips and she loved going there. The water helped her to get exercise cause she couldn't go for long walks. I really do believe that Myas life was prolonged because she came here. Thank you guys for giving Mya and myself joy in her remaining life!

    Went for our first puppy swim today. The place is clean and the people clearly love dogs. Cathy, the owner, is warm and attentive and Jessica got Toby comfortable in the water right away. Our dog loved it! We will be back!
