We can have another list for singles, say, most romantic isolated places.
This is a list for say families who want to take everyone on vacation. Pet hotels are expensive, and some pets get too stressed when their owners are away.
No. The pools are exclusively for doggies. Humans can get inside not in swim suits but in something that resembles fishing gear, and only to support their pets if so required.
Like people, dogs and cats have to “learn” to swim. If the approach is to just throw them into a rushing torrent, which describes most of Taiwan’s rivers and creeks during wet season, they get overwhelmed or scared. They would get hurt or learn to dislike water all together.
In an controlled environment dogs can learn to enjoy swimming and have less of an issue when they really go into wild rivers or the ocean.
However, a lot of times owners go to these places because their pets got hurt and need rehabilitation. Doing water aerobics is the best way to recover and they need a safe environment like these pet friendly pools to rehab. I mean surely you don’t want to throw weak pets into raging rivers or the ocean just because you feel that’s what being dog is all about.
