Definitely recommend this place! They helped get our Jasmine up and walking on her own again. After a TPLO surgery and impact stroke causing her to loose mobility of both front legs we’re so impressed by the aqua treadmil!! They were able to help make a treatment plan once at-home PT hit a plateau. Thank you guys so much! We’ll be back to try out that indoor pool 🤩
Our dog had fun, swam all over for toys, was tired the next 2 days which made our day better, Roxy is very energetic and always on the go. Swim help calm her down.

We went to Doggy Gym and Swim for the first time yesterday and we will definitely be back! My girl Roxy has swam before but it’s been a little while so she was still a little nervous getting in but Marissa was great with her. Once she got in the water it was game on. She loved playing fetch with Marissa and jumping off the platform. Having another dog who has torn both of her ACLs, I am acutely aware of the subtleties of keeping them safe. Getting in and out of the water and Marissa’s facility is set up perfectly. It was also nice for us because we could easily watch and participate in the fun. Roxy has so much energy she is usually on the go constantly but not last night LOL. After her swim she ate dinner and slept most of the night and even this morning she is a much calmer dog LOL. Thank you Marissa for a wonderful facility! We will be back soon.

We took our Saint Bernard, Molly, for a swim date for her 5th birthday and had a blast!! Marissa was beyond wonderful and the facility was awesome and super clean. Molly played fetch into the pool for an hour straight and left happy and tired. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Marissa is great! She helped get our two pups acclimated to the water. She was so patient with them – they were both very hesitant, even when offered treats. One had swam in lakes before but that was several years ago and the other isn’t the biggest swimming fan. She mentioned that some dogs take 2-3 sessions to get used to the water and it looks like that’s what our boys will need. Even with the hesitation, they both swam a few rounds in the pool and it was a great new form of exercise for them.
I have been swimming (as well as making use of underwater treadmill) for over 20 years. This is a great form of exercise for all dogs and all abilities! Plus, mine, especially, LOVE to swim and retrieve! Mentally, physically, and emotionally a great time for them!!
Marissa, the owner and swim instructor, is so calm, friendly, and there for the health and well being of the pooches! She is certified (yes, this is a “thing”!) and has a wonderful, clean, and well equipped facility! My dogs are aging, aren’t we all? And this is a wonderful year round opportunity to keep them moving and in great shape! One of my dogs is 6 months post TPLO surgery (knee) and swimming is awesome for her!
This is a small (for now!) family owned business and they are a gem in the NW suburbs! Give them a call! Book a swim or treadmill session! Do right by your dog! So glad we found Marissa and her Doggy Gym and Swim!
