Want your pup to splash around without worrying about algae? Tune in as Michelle chats with Tiffany, the brains behind Salt Dog, a canine swim club and community hub.

Whether you’re curious about starting a business, community engagement, or just want to spoil your pup rotten, this episode will fetch a smile. Tiffany, a water enthusiast and dedicated dog parent, identified an opportunity during a hot Vermont summer with her active pup. Frustrated by beach closures due to cyanobacteria outbreaks and endless waitlists for agility classes, she was inspired to create Salt Dog.
