Dog enjoying a swim in Grugabad on the 5th of October
Get ready, dog lovers! The city of Essen is set to host a unique event for our four-legged friends on Sunday, October 5, 2025. The local pet sports association or a similar regional dog club will be organising a dog swimming event, and all dog enthusiasts are invited to attend.
The event will take place from 10 am to 5 pm, and the entrance fee for people is just 1 Euro. For our canine companions, the fee is 2 Euros. The entrance fee covers the cost of catering, which will be provided at the event, ensuring both humans and dogs have a delightful day out.
The event will feature wave, non-swimmer, and paddling pools, all exclusively for dogs. This is a fantastic opportunity for your dogs to enjoy a splashing good time in a safe and controlled environment. Dog owners and guests without dogs are welcome to watch from the poolside.
It's important to note that all dogs must have proof of a valid rabies vaccination. The rabies vaccination should not be more than one to three years old to ensure the safety of all participants. A valid dog owner's liability insurance is also required, covering any potential damage to the facility or other participants.
To make sure your dogs enjoy a healthy and enjoyable day, it is recommended to consult a veterinarian before visiting the event. If you have any questions or need further information, please contact the ServiceCenter Essen at the given telephone number or email.
The Sports and Baths Department of Essen wishes all guests and their four-legged friends a fun day. In addition to the swimming pool activities, exhibitors offering dog supplies will have stands at the event, providing an excellent opportunity to shop for your pet.
The city portal Press and Communications Office issued this information, so you can be sure that all details are accurate and up-to-date. We look forward to seeing you and your dogs at the dog swimming event in Essen on October 5, 2025!
