Fur Fix, a pool for dogs, opens in Macon.
MACON, Georgia (41NBC/WMGT) Swimming is not just a low impact workout for humans, it’s for dogs too. That’s why Patti Jones opened an aquatic center for dogs called Fur Fix.
Jones wanted to help her aging dogs and decided to look into aquatics. So she learned about water works and water massage for dogs, then went through training and decided to offer the service to Middle Georgians.
“There hasn’t been one in this area, so it just seemed like the perfect thing to do,” Jones said. “Because I know my dogs would benefit from it and certainly others would too.”
