ESSENTIAL INFORMATION

Currently run as a hobby business based on vet referrals and recommendations, but without advertising, there is much scope to expand as such facilities are few and far between in Cumbria. Whether you choose to continue the established business as a valuable additional income stream or transform it into the start of an exciting new venture, the opportunity is yours to make the most of.

OWNER'S COMMENTS

It has been a privilege to run CCHC since 2007. From Chihuahuas to Tibetan Mastiffs; disabled dogs to support dogs, getting to know them and building a rapport to help them live their best lives has been amazing. Whether swimming for rehabilitation or fun and fitness we have made a huge difference in the well being of so many lovely dogs, and that's immensely rewarding". Please see Grisdales for more information on the pool and business and we can also refer you to the website. Accounts are available.
