Before visiting The Water Bark canine swimming center in Oklahoma City; we require that every dog show proof of vaccination (including bordetella), be in good health and coat condition and that you have thoroughly read and signed our pool policies and procedures. Appointment times are scheduled, therefore, we ask that you be on time for your appointment or your session will be shortened to keep with the schedules we have made. All owners are required to remain on the property during your dogs swim time, unless they enrolled in our Play n’ Swim program. Owners are not allowed in the pool; however they may stand on our pool decks so you can view the entire session. We encourage you to interact with your dog to help them be comfortable with the session.
If your dog is recovering from an injury or surgery, we require that you get a veterinary referral prior to starting a water rehab program. We like to work in conjunction with you and your vet to ensure the best possible recovery plan is in place. Please print out our form and have it signed by your treating vet or surgeon.
We require that each dog be brushed and free of any dirt / mats/ heavy shedding prior to their swim. If your dog requires any excess brushing or cleaning to enter the pool, there will be an additional charge. We will not allow any dog to swim if they have had any topical flea medication applied in the last 4 days. Please fill out the client intake form before coming to your session; or be prepared to fill out the form beforehand-please allow at least 15 minutes before your appointment to fill out the forms.
