We love dogs, and we want every swim to end happy. A few simple habits go a long way toward keeping your four-legged family members safe in and around the water.
Not every dog is a natural swimmer, and even strong swimmers can get tired or panic if they can’t find a way out.
Never leave your dog alone in or near the pool, even for a minute.
Walk your dog to the steps from different spots in the pool until finding the exit becomes second nature.
A pool fence, gate, or safety cover keeps pets from getting in when no one is watching.
A canine life jacket helps new swimmers, older dogs, and short-legged breeds stay afloat.
Rinse off pool water after a swim and keep fresh drinking water nearby so they don’t drink from the pool.
Keep chlorine, shock, and other pool chemicals sealed and out of reach of curious noses.
A quick reference you can keep handy or share with other pet owners.
Balanced water and a well-kept pool are better for everyone who swims in it, pets included. Let us take care of yours.
