Dog swimming during Canine Aquatics lodging playtime at Meyer’s Tails Up Farm in Belvidere, IL, providing low-impact exercise, muscle strengthening, and cardiovascular fitness with a swim coach
At Meyer’s Tails Up Farm in Belvidere, IL, we created our Canine Aquatics Program for dogs who love the water—or need a low-impact way to stay fit and healthy. Swimming is one of the most effective forms of exercise for dogs of all ages and abilities. It’s gentle on joints, strengthens muscles, and provides a great cardiovascular workout without the stress of running on hard surfaces. If you’re looking for the ultimate dog swimming experience, this is it.
During your dog’s stay, you can add a 30-minute swim session with one of our experienced swim coaches. Each session is customized to your dog’s comfort level and fitness needs. Some dogs dive right in, while others take their time easing into the pool—we make sure every pup feels safe, confident, and happy in the water.
Our dog swimming sessions are especially beneficial during the warmer months, offering a refreshing way for dogs to cool down while getting a full-body workout. Regular swimming can improve mobility, strengthen joints, and even help relieve pain from age-related conditions or past injuries. Plus, it’s a fun, confidence-boosting way to keep your dog active and engaged while boarding with us.
Available May through September, Canine Aquatics is one of our most loved lodging add-ons. Whether your pup is a natural swimmer or new to the pool, they’ll enjoy the attention, exercise, and joy that comes with a splash-filled day at Meyer’s Tails Up Farm in Belvidere, IL.
