Regulate dog swimming pools to ensure the safety of dogs
I run a well established, award winning dog swimming pool and others are copying what we do as a get rich quick scheme rather than helping dogs. Some of these people have no idea what they're doing and I have seen film if dogs being hurled into water to get them swimming.
I would like to see some kind of licensing, registration or governing body to control dog swimming pools (not hydrotherapy) to protect the dogs and owners from money grabbing copycat pools. I have seen dogs in real distress being thrown into pools, left to fend for themselves with no-one in the water, with the potential to drown. Too many dogs are being crammed in pools at once, putting profits over safety.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Licensing activities involving animals is the responsibility of individual local authorities, not the Government or House of Commons.
If you are concerned about an establishment providing animal services you should raise this with the relevant local authority.
