Sierra Springs Canine Therapy Pool is the only indoor, warm water hydrotherapy pool for dogs between Ottawa and Toronto.
We offer a tranquil, quiet and safe environment for you and your canine friend to relax and enjoy as qualified, caring professionals facilitate wellness for your dog.
Our current facility has an above ground pool fondly known as "Jackson's Swimming Hole", named after a very special 16 year old Border Collie client who spent many hours enjoying weightless freedom in our pool.
The pool is accessible by a long, no-slip ramp that joins to a deck. A motorised lift ramp, referred to as "the Plank" raises and lowers, to allow dogs to enter and exit the pool. This lift can also be used to slowly hoist dogs with paralysis, into and out of the pool.
The 84 degree salt water is sanitized by an ozonator and salt water chlorination generation system. These two systems allow for safe, clean water that has a secondary bonus of making the dogs coats soft and shiny.
All appointments for swim conditioning, aqua-ssage and hydrotherapy are one-on-one with the hydrotherapist who assists your dog while he's in the pool.
After each in pool session, a light BoMasI massage is performed after towelling off, before heading home.
BoMasI is a name used to describe the gentle and effective body-work performed here at Sierra Springs. It has been derived from Bowen, Sports Massage and Reiki techniques and is the result of over 16 years of study, experience and input from other professionals.
We mainly use a padded, blanket-covered exercise style mat which we place on the floor for the dogs' comfort while we perform body work, or there is a hydraulic table that can be used for smaller dogs.
All dogs who are brought to us, are treated with respect and kindness, as if they were a part of our own family.
