Very professional & clean facility with staff who my dog took an instant liking to. My 100lbs weimaraner is not an enthusiastic swimmer, but staff had no problem working with her. The therapy was effective for my dog’s arthritis, who was developing some restricted range of motion. The next day she was up with full ROM again! The prices are reasonable with a daycare option and i was able to get an appointment scheduled the next day.

This is an Amazing, wonderful, caring, safe, fun & loving daycare for dogs! Eazy loves this daycare. He is treated with respect & love.

He has play time, potty outside time, snacks, toys galore, friends & swimming!

The staff is attentive & amazing. The owner, Dominique, is the epitome of what someone running this kind of business should be. Professional! A dog's safety and happiness is her main goal. In addition, she goes above and beyond to communicate with the owners about their dog. Furthermore, daily pictures are available on social media. I never worry about Eazy. I know he is safe.

5 stars is not enough. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for having a fantastic daycare!

Took our 1.5 year old pitbull today for his first swimming lesson. It took him about 10 minutes to get used to the swimming pool since it was his first time in deep water and he caught on so quick with encouragement and patience from his swimming instructor, Bridget. She was so patient with him as he was panic paddling at first and reassured us that most dogs are like this their first time. After he caught on, she would coax him back in the pool with praise and play. Definitely love this place and have already purchased a swimming package to bring him back!

Where to start! I've been coming to K9 Aquatic with my Blue APT since 2016. I was on the search for a swim facility to bring him as he had gained a few pounds.

My boy had some initial reservations about this place. Not because of the staff, or positive praise, treats, and all the attention he got... he absolutely hates everything water. I mean who could blame him - he would sink!

It took a few tries to get him used to getting comfortable. With lots of patience, we started seeing milestones. All dog's are suited up with dog swim vests and a coach. Of course if your pup is a natural swimmer then you can forego the vest at your discretion.
My boy eventually "graduated" to swimming with no vest after a while.

Dominique (owner), Kelly, and all the swim coaches are nothing but amazing! They are are very caring and they take the time to get to know the pups. As soon as I tell my boy that we are getting ready for swim, he starts running up and down my house in excitement.

K9 Aquatic comes highly recommended!

UPDATE: my boy still hates anything water but he absolutely loves swimming here! 🤷‍♀️😂

Wow, what a beautiful pool, 'human-grade' for dogs! Both dogs had great swims, enjoyed every minute and got a great work-out. Our swim coaches quickly figured out how to work/play with each of my GSDs according to their very different individual personalities & quirks. Dominique is a gracious host and made sure the pups had a great time!

First time for my pup at the pools. The staff was amazing. The swim coach, Aileen, was so patient and encouraging.
By the end of the swim, Max was jumping Into the pool.
Everyone was friendly. Dominique the owner gave my boy some treats. Everyone there made us feel special.

I would have given 10 stars if I could! K9 Aquatic Center is what you wish all daycare centers are like. The staff are friendly, hard working, and genuinely love caring for your dog. Dominique is absolutely fantastic, constantly communicating with me about how my puppy was doing each day and always giving him love throughout the day. I purchased the monthly unlimited daycare with swimming which was incredible. Reliably open 7 days a week. My puppy hadn’t been in water before and the staff were great at easing him in and making sure he learned to love the experience. Was great exercise too, always coming home exhausted from the day. We had to move away from Maryland, but will forever have a higher standard for my dog’s daycare because of Dominique and the staff at K9 Aquatic Center!

My dog Biscuit had to get knee surgery back in the beginning of April. I knew she needed to swim so I did some research online and found this place. Biscuit doesn't really like water, actually, in her mind, water was acid. My first visit, I was pretty nervous. I found out very quickly that the owner, Dominique, was such a caring and compassionate person. She greeted us and was so sweet to my nervous dog. When it was time to swim, we got Chris as her coach who never rushed or forced Biscuit into the pool. He was so patient and just let Biscuit go in on her own (it took a long while). Today, almost 3 months after our first visit, even after Biscuit's full recovery, we still go because Biscuit now JUMPS into the water. She LOVES it. We have had the other coaches and ALL of them are wonderful. Zach is full of energy and everyone is so polite and professional. We will be a life-time customer for sure!
