Are you enjoying the beautiful summer weather?  Swimming pools are a great way to enjoy the sunshine, while staying cool.  Here are a few ways to make sure you and your pets are safely enjoying the weather poolside.

Swimming Pool Safety:

  • Always Supervise Pets - Not all dogs are good swimmers.  Never leave your pet unsupervised around water.
  • Don't Let Them Drink Pool Water - Provide pets with a clean bowl of fresh water outside so that they won't be tempted to drink the pool water.  Chlorine and other chemicals can leave your pet with a belly ache.
  • Buy a Life Vest - If you love spending time in and around water, it might be a good idea to invest in a dog life vest.  These life vests provide extra buoyancy so that your dog can stay afloat.
  • Put A Fence Around the Pool - Pool fences are important for homeowners that cannot supervise pets when they are in the backyard.  This will help keep dogs out of the pool area when you're not around.

Pets may be just as vulnerable to falling ill in extreme temperatures as humans if not more. Summer safety for pets is too essential to be ignored, carry on reading to learn more.
