What we do.
-
Swimming in our heated pool helps to promote blood flow and circulation to aid in recovery or assist in muscle stimulation. Dogs will be equipped with a buoyancy aid or harness for safety.
-
Our state of the art treadmill fills with warm water to target specific muscle groups by customizing factors like water level, resistance, and speed. Walking on the treadmill encourages proper form and cardio with minimal to no impact on the joints.
-
Swimming is a great way to help your dog lose weight. Swimming with us can increase the metabolic rate to burn fat. It’s non weight-bearing with no stress on the joints and helps your pet increase their stamina and overall health.
-
Like humans, dogs require sufficient nutrients to meet energy needs remain healthy. We can help provide guidance to better understand the ingredients in the food you're feeding your pet so it receives the balanced nutrients it needs, which can drastically help extend life and combat many common health problems.

Contrary to popular belief, not all dogs can swim. Our staff will slowly introduce your new puppy to the water and get them comfortable and swimming. This is great exercise, and also helps them develop important skills like balance, coordination and strength.

Scrap the dog park, or the walk in the scorching heat and give your dog some variety in their exercise. Bring them for a swim in our pool, or a stroll on our underwater treadmill, which is always monitored by our staff to ensure it’s fun and safe.
Here at Buddy, we like dogs more than we like most people… This is why we are so passionate about providing the best facility we can to help your pets live their best lives. We offer a range of water-related activities that are specifically tailored to promote healthy living and wellness. While we are not a veterinary clinic, but we will partner with your vet to ensure they are getting the right exercise for their unique situations.
We also believe that a healthy lifestyle is vital for every canine, and proactively offer alternative forms of exercise to walking or dog parks to keep them happy, stimulated and strong.
Swimming is a great alternative to walking, especially when it's super hot outside.
The temperatures in LA keep rising, becoming increasingly too hot to safely walk our pets during the day. Our fun and fitness swims are a great alternative to walking them in the blistering heat, and a better way to provide your dog with the exercise they need.
Even if you don't swim with us, please keep this information in mind and avoid heading out for that walk during the hottest times of the day. Enjoy morning or evening walks instead, and remember that grassy and cooler surfaces are safest in warm temperatures.
Test the surface temp with the back of your hand for 7 seconds. If it feels too hot for your hand, it's too hot for your dog's paws.

Did you know that just 5 minutes of swimming is equivalent to about a 20 minute walk for your pet? Adult dogs sleep 12-14 hours each day on average, so they they're bursting at the seams with pent-up energy. While a simple walk around the neighborhood may suffice, swimming is far more enjoyable, gentler on the body, and offers more exercise in a shorter amount of time. Not to mention, it’s cooler on hot days.
Dogs of all shapes, sizes and fitness levels can enjoy our fun & fitness swims as an alternative form of exercise or to get some relief from the heat outside. Swimming is a great way to to prevent future medical issues like injury or arthritis, manage weight loss, and to keep your dog stimulated and happy.
