Did you know July is Summer Swimming Safety month?

Yup. It sure is. So, before July is gone let’s go over some swimming safety tips for your pups! My dog Hannah hates the water! But, I have noticed she has a hierarchy of importance. If there is a duck in the water, getting the duck is of higher importance than her hatred of the water. Thus, she will (almost) pull me into the pond as she goes full force toward the duck.

Aside from that, we all deserve a good pool day – puppers included! (At least those who like the water).

Planning to take your pup swimming this summer - but curious how to make sure they stay safe in the water?

Take note of these 10 safety tips for dogs:

1. Not All Dogs Can Swim

2. Teaching Your Dog to Swim? Take it slow

3. Get Your Dog a Life Vest

4. Be Careful Which Water You Let Them Drink

5…. Especially Sea Water!

6. Keep An Eye Out for Beaches Closed to Dogs

7. Talk to Your Vet

8. Keep An Eye Out for

9. Avoid Blue-Green Algae

10. Wash Your Dog After Swimming
