Benefits of swimming

1. Correct the outward appearance (dogs usually walk on tiles and tend to have an outward appearance. When swimming, because they need to straighten their feet, the correction effect can be achieved)

3. Exhaust a lot of physical energy (the dog’s destructive power on furniture will be weakened after letting the dog go home)
