AS SEEN ON DRAGONS' DEN!

Andy and Jo Brownlie set up Canine Dip and Dive in2017 to great success and have been featured in press, media, TV and radio and a BBC short film went viral with millions of hits in the first 24 hours. Set in the stunning Suffolk countryside, it features an outdoor 32ft swimming pool for dogs with fantastic floating ramp to make it easy for dogs to get in and out of the water, plus a platform to dive in from for the more adventurous! They have a number of group classes or solo sessions so choose the one that best suits your dog. Solo swim for dogs needing extra support in the water or needs space from other dogs. Pool parties for social, confident swimmers, dip and dive for adventurous dogs who dive from height, puppy paddle is a gentle, quiet introduction to water and senior moments for older dogs needing a low impact exercise.

We have been going for a few years and Andy is so patient with all the dogs. Jo takes some lovely photos, great team work.

It’s great exercise for dogs young, middle age and oldies. Fantastic venue 😁

Alison Pepper, September 2025

Miss Evie my Labrador loves swimming and absolutely loves this venue & Andy, the instructor. She cries & whines on our journey as soon as we turn off the main road onto the Pakenham highway! She would swim the lengths in the pool retrieving balls (sometimes can be up to three) & toys all day if she could! A fun & exceptionally well run business. Thank you for giving great pleasure to our canine friends.

Yolande Lee, September 2025

This is a fantastic facility for swim loving dogs and nervous swimmers alike. The staff are the absolute best and we just couldn’t be without it.
