A BIG SPLASH IS COMING

Therapeutic swimming & in-water massage and bodywork sessions for your beloved pups

Chicago, IL

A unique canine wellness experience

Coming soon to Chicago, IL, Waterdogged will provide assisted therapeutic swim sessions for dogs that include in-water massage & bodywork. Ideal for seniors, pups pre & post-surgery, those dealing with ongoing orthopedic conditions, and for active pups looking to improve their conditioning. Sessions will always be individualized to optimize your pup’s wellness. Unlike other canine swim options in the Chicagoland area, all Waterdogged sessions will be led by a nationally-board certified canine massage therapist with training in canine aquatics, ensuring your pup will receive gentle and safe therapeutic care.

We are thrilled to partner with the The K9 Corridor, located at 123 N Western Ave, to offer this unique canine service.

Be the first to learn when Waterdogged is in action - we can’t wait to swim with your pup!

Swim with Caragh

You may know me from Wellness & Wags. After leaving the corporate world behind to pursue my passion in canine wellness, forever inspired by my rescue pup, Oscar, I received my certification in canine massage from The Chicago School of Canine Massage, now Canis Bodyworks, in 2017. I was nationally-certified via the National Board of Certification for Animal Acupressure & Massage (NBCAAM) in 2018. Since launching Wellness & Wags, I have worked with hundreds of pets and provided thousands of hours of hands-on care to beloved pets here in Chicago, IL.

As an avid lifelong swimmer, I understand the therapeutic benefits of water, and have always dreamed of expanding my services to include aquatic wellness care. I’m thrilled to make this dream come true and bring new services to your pups via my new business, Waterdogged. Don’t worry, Wellness & Wags lives on and I will continue to offer in-home canine massage services to all my existing clientele.

When I’m not massaging your pups, I am honored to act as The Booker Fund Director for The Live Like Roo Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides financial and emotional support to families with pets facing a cancer diagnosis. I am also an instructor with Canis Bodyworks, as it is such a joy seeing others discover the importance of this work, just as I did.

Bring your pups to swim with me!
