Heavenly Spa

I purchased a spa certificate at a silent auction benefiting the Seattle Humane Society. The certificate I purchased was for a 1-​Hour Dog Party at the Heavenly Spa. We really wanted to see if we could get our dog swimming. He has webbed paws and, after a few non-​optional «test swims» we knew he was perfectly capable of swimming. He just never entered the water on his own accord, even when tempted with his precious ball and excessive coddling. Since the certificate was good for a dog «party» we decided to invite a bunch of our pups’ friends to cheer on our dog as he learned how to swim.
Heavenly Spa is a puppy paradise with a warm water pool maintained at 93 degrees and designed specially for dogs, plus a huge fenced yard for romping and all the toys a good dog could want. The pool is typically used for therapy for arthritic and ailing dogs, but you can also rent their location for private events. The pool is indoors and people are encouraged to enter the water with their dogs.
My full review with photos is on my dog-​friendly review site here:

I have a 12 ½ year old German Shepherd who has hip dysplasia and arthritis. She was having so much trouble getting up and down, but was otherwise in great health. My vet recommended water therapy at Heavenly Spa for strengthening. My Zoe has made amazing progress in just 4 sessions so far! This place is the best. Dora, Zoe’s therapist, is wonderful with her and I am so grateful for all of her help. Thank you Teri and Dora for an amazing experience!
