About Us
Diane has been a licensed veterinary technician for 23 years. She spent most of her career in California working as a technician and a manager for an emergency and critical care facility in the Bay Area. She has always had Labrador Retrievers, so swimming dogs have always been a part of her life. She has studied the effects of swimming on recovery, and has had lots of experience with her own dogs through 4 knee surgeries and degenerative spinal disease. Diane recently successfully completed a course of study and earned a certificate in Canine Aquatic Rehabilitation from the Canine Rehabilitation Institute. After moving to Oregon with their Labrador, Porterhouse, a dock diving dog, she and her husband bought a house with an indoor swimming pool so Porter would have a place to swim year round. Realizing that there are limited places to swim dogs for rehabilitation or just for fun in the Portland area, Diane decided to open Paws Aquatics.
Paws Aquatics is open daily at 10 AM. All swim times are by appointment only.
Please call 971-244-2227 to schedule an appointment.
The pool is 40 feet x 10 feet and is heated to 88 degrees.
