Alaska K9 Aquatics, Anchorage

The look of pure joy on a swimming pup's face is hard to deny. That's just one reason why Bruce and Martina Richardson opened Alaska K9 Aquatics in 2013. The Alaska K9 Aquaticis 18' x 35' pool and amenities were designed with your dogs in mind. The 4-foot-deep above-ground pool is surrounded by extensive decking, fencing, and non-slip flooring, and even includes ramps to ensure dogs of all breeds and fitness levels can easily enter and exit the pool. Whether dogs need to expend some energy, lose weight, or recover from an injury, the pool affords a joint-friendly, low-impact alternative to ho-hum walks. After their dip, but before heading out in the cold, pups can take a quick bath at one of the grooming stations, equipped with tubs, shampoo and creme rinse, grooming tables and blow-dryers.
