We don’t have our opening date yet but we will let you know when things are getting closer! Please stay tuned! Fingers and paws crossed! And THANK YOU for your patience during this transitional time!!
A year-round, safe, comfortable, and private area for your dog to exercise and have fun.

Our 13 year old Labrador has been swimming with Kate for over a year now. It is a great alternative to her daily walk, and great fun for her. Best of all, the benefit to her ailing joints is visibly noticeable. Every dog should be so lucky!
Both of our boys learned to swim at Water Bark Wellness. Kate’s individual approach and attention to each dog’s needs and challenges ensures that each dog feels safe as they learn. We would highly recommend Water Bark Wellness to any dog owner
As you may remember, I was afraid of the water and did not know how to swim. Thanks to your patient instruction, I can now swim with confidence and eagerness in Lake Megunticook. Looking forward to more sessions this winter!
