Canine Aqua Jogging
Swimming for dogs is like aqua jogging for people—an incredibly effective, non-weight-bearing, and low-impact exercise that boosts strength, range of motion, and endurance. It’s also perfect for shedding extra puppy weight, preparing for certain surgeries, and keeping aging joints lubricated and flexible.
Our Canine Aqua Jogging sessions are a personalized, hands-on fitness routine tailored to your dog’s specific needs. We utilize the therapeutic and mineral properties of our hydrotherapy pool water and incorporate safe play, circuits, stretching, massage, and restful breaks by the pool.
Is your dog new to swimming? No problem! We’ll teach them. We’ve had remarkable success helping dogs relax and feel comfortable in the water!
Appointment Duration: 45 mins
Cost: $45 incl GST

WALKS & STAYS PACKAGE DEALS
We have been friends with the crew at Walks & Stays for a few years. So we came up with an idea to enable the doggy clients of Walks & Stays to access our Hydrotherapy Pool in conjunction with any of their services.
If this sounds like something your dog would like to take advantage of, all you need to do is let Trudi know which option you would like to combine with your next appointment with Walk or Pet Sitting service, and she will take care of the rest.
K9 Rescue Retreat: Walk, Swim & Unwind
Every shelter dog deserves a joyful experience, enriching activities, and opportunities to learn new life skills while waiting for their new family. Your donations can help make this possible for fortunate pups.
MaxieMim Performance, in partnership with Walks & Stays, is excited to offer rescue dogs a special K9 pampering session. Walks & Stays will pick up a pup from the SPCA or another rescue center, providing them with an outdoor walking adventure before heading to MaxieMim Performance for some time in the hydrotherapy pool.
Depending on the dog's needs, they can enjoy safe play in the pool with toys and treats, or perhaps learn to swim with one of our skilled water coaches to boost their water confidence. Some shelter dogs might require assistance with weight management or post-surgery recovery to help regain muscle and stamina.
Additionally, MaxieMim Performance will provide a K9 massage session to pamper these shelter dogs further.
