Give your dog a fun way to cool off this summer with our new Doggy Swimming Pool at Rags & Bert's Farnborough.
The pool provides a safe and enjoyable environment for dogs to swim, play, and exercise during the warmer months. It is a self-service facility that can be booked in 30-minute sessions, allowing owners to spend quality time with their dog, whether that means watching them swim or joining them in the pool.
This is a dog swimming pool designed for our canine guests. The water is continuously filtered and monitored for dogs, with minimal chemicals used wherever possible. Because dogs are swimming and playing throughout the day, the water may not always appear as clear as a public swimming pool for people. Owners are more than welcome to enter the pool, but should be aware that it is maintained specifically for canine use.
Bookings now open for swims.

Our pool is designed first and foremost for dogs to enjoy. Unlike a public swimming pool for people, the water is maintained specifically for canine use, using continuous filtration and careful monitoring while keeping chemical use to a minimum wherever possible.
As dogs are naturally jumping, splashing and playing in the water throughout the day, the pool may not always look as crystal clear as a human swimming pool. This is completely normal and is all part of creating a safe, enjoyable environment for our four-legged swimmers.
Each booking includes 30 minutes of private use of the pool.
Please allow:
30 minutes before your session – Arrival, check-in and getting your dog ready to swim.

Most dogs can enjoy the pool, whether they love swimming or simply paddling and splashing around. We recommend introducing nervous dogs at their own pace.
