The Sun And The Pool: Swimming at Sunny Heights
Cory and Cole has not been
swimming for a while now. It was not till their furry buddy, Sam Forrest LooLim posted pictures of their latest watery escape that it was high time to get
these boys on a hydro-work out again. Besides the dog park, an hour at the dog
swimming pool knocks them out for a good two days!
So, why did the boys fall out of
habit? Cole had a serious bout of dandruff issue earlier in the year which upon
the advice of the vet, said he should abstain from swimming for a period of
time I was just not impressed with many of the dog swimming pools, service and
cleanliness-wise.
So imagine my excitement when I
realised Sunny Heights (previously named K9 Kulture) had renovated the pool
into looking quite classy. In my opinion, certainly one of the better-looking
(and cleaner) swimming pools for dogs in Singapore.
Derrick Tan, Head of Operations at Sunny
Heights say the place was really old when they first took over and it took a
lot of planning to get the place to start looking decent, “The unkempt state of
the pool had many people complaining about its set up. In addition, we faced a
couple of challenges during renovation as we had to source for the right
materials that would beuaitfy the place, while brainstorming for what was
comfortable for both pet and owner.”
Early reviews of the place have
been positive and many have commented on the set up and improvements made to
Sunny Heights.
But, how will Cory and Cole like
the place?
THE WONG DOGS REVIEW
Sunny Heights’s pool for dogs is
quite the sight to behold as compared to a couple of months ago. Besides the
cannot-miss water features added, pet owners will love the introduction of sun
beds and a gazebo which offer a relaxed environment and shelter from extreme
weather conditions.
The Wong Dogs love how both
swimming pools have been re-tiled, giving it a refreshing look to visitors who
had to bear with cement flooring for the past few years. However, please be
careful when threading through the water. Even though they have been treated with
anti-slip solution, I found myself almost falling face-first into the water a
couple of times.
Of course, how can we miss out
the fun-looking water features that have been added? To date, these have only
been seen at children’s pools in Singapore and is really eye-catching for
first-time visitors.
Cory seem to love playing or swimming through the
jets of water (it is really cute seeing him manoeuvre through each feature.
However, Cole
took a while getting used to them. At one point, he refused to go past the
shower feature though he eventually did with a little coaxing.
Though the service was not in use
when we visited, The Wong Dogs was intrigued by the Z9000 Dog Wash, a mobile
rinse for pets! For a small price, dog owners can now choose to bathe their
dogs after their swim instead of just hosing them down. Besides the typical
shampoo and conditioner rinse, options such as Flea & Tick rinse and Blow
Dry are also available!
This is just the start. Besides
plans to add another gazebo, the people at Sunny Heights are looking to
introduce night swimming though the scheduled start of this service has yet to
be confirmed. “This is to cater to pet owners who are busier in the day.
Allowing swimming at night will definitely see many more people coming with
their furkids,” says Derrick.
Night swimming? Count me in!
For now, here are more pictures. Enjoy!
