An award-winning Chesterfield doggy day care centre has launched a brand-new splash zone for our canine companions.
Rose Cottage developed the new feature, thought to be the first of its kind in the country, in response to the recent heatwave seen in many parts of the UK. It means dogs at the centre can enjoy playing in the water while keeping cool during the summer months.
Dawn Brown, owner of Rose Cottage Doggy Day Care commented: “I developed the Splash zone as this another petal to our Rose I am always thinking of ways in which we can be the best at what we do, and this means always thinking ahead, we knew Summer was approaching and what is a better way to keep your Dogs cool than their very own a splash zone.
“We are a mini theme park for Dogs and playing in clean free flowing water with their pals is also mentally stimulating, great for joints and teaches the dogs how to play in a different kind of environment.”
Exercising in the water can have a number of benefits for dogs, as Dawn outlined: “Since water is denser than air, your dog’s movement through the water causes a resistance that is evenly distributed against their body, so this movement helps to work all of the muscles without gravity pushing down on their joints. The water is not to deep so at a safe level to play, get fit and strong while having fun.”
Dawn also commented on how exited the team at Rose Cottage was to bring the new feature to fruition: “I can’t tell you how much of a buzz I get when one of my ideas comes to life and I see just how happy the Dogs are playing in there it just makes all the hard work of getting it ready worthwhile.
“Seeing a dog leave an owner’s car in the morning and head straight towards my gate with their tail wagging eager to enter Rose Cottage makes it even more special. I’m so happy I can provide a little piece of haven for dogs in our town and I am constantly thinking of more initiative ways of adding to Rose Cottage. We also have our very own online shop www.doglanddeals.com and more to come so watch this space!”
“To use the splash zone, you need to register your doggy with us. This is easy to do with our online forms at: www.rosecottagedoggydaycare.co.uk”
Rose Cottage Doggy Day Care supports the marketing and economic growth of the town through Chesterfield Champions, a network of over 200 organisations across Chesterfield and North Derbyshire.
