As the weather warms up, our furry friends can’t wait to dive into pools, lakes, and beaches! Before your pup takes the plunge, here are a few smart (and lifesaving!) water safety tips to keep tails wagging all season long:
Suit Up! Not every dog is a natural swimmer. A properly fitted life vest adds extra protection and makes your pup easier to spot. Bonus: It keeps ears drier, helping prevent those pesky ear infections.
Go at Their Pace. Introduce water gradually so your dog can build confidence. Never force them in — a calm, positive start means more fun (and fewer sore muscles) later!
Stay Close. Always keep an eye on your pup near pools, lakes, or the ocean. Watch for signs of fatigue and limit how much water they gulp — water toxicity is a real danger, even for strong swimmers.
Rinse & Relax. After every swim, rinse off chlorine or salt, then let your pup rest in the shade with fresh, cool water.
