Join Planet Canine for a splashing good time at its Dog Swim Party to benefit the Humane Society of Elkhart County on Saturday, October 10. Pups will enjoy a fun and therapeutic dip in Planet Canine’s heated canine pool. Not only will your furry loved ones have a great time doggy paddling around the pool, there are several health benefits swimming can have for animals as well.
“The water can increase relaxation, helping muscle and joint pain, while strengthening the spine,” said Pam Mendenhall, owner of Planet Canine. “The relief for arthritis at any age is priceless and can result in increased quality of life and activity level quickly at home.”
According to Mendenhall, swimming is also a great way to aid in weight loss, build and tone muscle, increase confidence and decrease stress, not to mention the pleasure dogs get from a few laps around the pool.
Activities at the Dog Swim Party will include:
- 15 minutes in Planet Canine’s heated canine pool for a $10 donation
- Staff to dry off wet dogs
- Photographer on hand to capture the moment
- Fun dog swimming demonstrations
- Snacks for hungry pups that work up an appetite
- Learn how to get involved with the Humane Society of Elkhart County
