You can take them to a pool of their own kind, instead — and swim with them too! Dog pools and spas are especially beneficial to those without a place to take their dogs for good underwater exercise. Dog spas offer a place not only for dogs to get exercise and play, but also cater to dogs who need to use water as ...
