Cool Water Safety Tips for Dogs

watertoy 

  • If your dog is going swimming in a pond, thoroughly check out the area for broken glass, fishing lines and other hazards.  If swimming in the ocean, be aware of tides and currents. 
  • Never leave your dog unsupervised.  Every year, dogs drown in pools after becoming exhausted, trying to find their way out, even when stairs are available.  
  • Always show your dog an easy way out of the pool.  
  • Always have your dog wear a flotation device.
  • Always hose off your pet after swimming.
  • If boating, be aware that dogs get seasick too. 
  • If boating or out in the sun for long periods of time, dog get sunburn, too.
