Dog Paddle

If you're in Milwaukee and looking for an indoor dog swimming pool, this place is a hidden gem. After moving downtown with my Doberman/Rottweiler mix, Chop, I needed a way to help him burn off energy. City walks just weren't enough, especially with the strain they put on his joints. This was a great find! + Genuinely Caring Staff The owner and staff are truly wonderful people who genuinely care about your dog’s well-being. They’re not just there to do a job—they're passionate about what they do. It's a world of difference from other places where staff seem like they’d rather be somewhere else. + Affordable Fun with a FREE Bath At just $35 for 30 minutes, the price is fantastic, especially since Chop doesn’t need assistance in the water. He was happily exhausted after just 15-20 minutes. Plus, the session includes a DIY bath, which is such a great perk. They provide all the shampoo and brushes, so you only need to bring a towel. So you are getting enrichment for your pooch with a free bath included, for $35– FORGET spending $100 at the groomer + A Calm, Safe Environment What is most unique is that there are no other dogs around, even in passing. My dog is calm and laidback but there is always that feeling of anxiety when someone else’s dog walks by and isn’t… lunges or barks— which affects the energy in the room and is just unpleasant... Here you don’t need to worry about other peoples’ dogs. The way it’s set up is such a blessing for reactive dogs. The pool is on the smaller side than others I’ve gone to, but it was more than enough to tire out my active 80-pound dog, so it was definitely perfect for my needs. The separate washroom for bathing makes the whole process calm and private, away from any nervous/distracting energy of other dogs coming and going. Overall, this is an awesome business run by people who truly care. I'm definitely coming back and will be recommending to everyone I know. Highly, highly recommend it if you're looking for a fun and effective way to exercise your dog in a caring and controlled environment.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience at Dog Paddle indoor pool! Peter and his staff did an amazing job ensuring everything went smoothly. Our pup, Arthur, loved every minute of his swimming session. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional, making sure Arthur was comfortable and having fun. We couldn't be happier with the service and will definitely be back. Thank you, Peter and team, for making Arthur's day so special!
