Splish! Splash! Summer Fun!

Here are some awesome ways to keep your best friend safe while swimming this summer!

1. Remember not all dogs are good swimmers!

It is safe to assume that all dogs have fun in warm weather. But just like Humans not all of them love all summer activities the same. Some dogs prefer to be next to you enjoying all the summer smells (Like BBQ's) or just simply lounging in the shade with a cold bowl of water. Some like splashing at the water from above the surface but not going in. So test the waters, go to the shallow end and see how your fur baby feels before taking the plunge.

2. Make Them easy to see!

There are some great life preservers on sale at our local pet stores. No matter what there should be one on your best friend. Not only does it make it easier to see them but it also ensures their safety! This also makes them easier to grab onto in the water so that you can easily save their lives! And Finally...

3. Keep your best friend near you at all times!

Dogs don't understand the difference between resting and treading in the water. So this makes it easy for them to get tired. This makes it easy for them to get in trouble quickly. So, it is best that you are nearby should anything happen, you'll be right there!

We only have 67 days until the first day of fall! So enjoy the summer anyway you can, whether its swimming or summer bbq's. And make sure you stay safe! We love you and your furry friends! Can't wait to see you soon!
