Here are five tips for keeping your dog safe when you have a backyard pool:
- 1. Build a fence around your pool so your dog can’t enter when you’re not around.
- 2. Train your dog to exit the pool. If they ever fall in, they’ll know exactly how to get out.
- 3. Get a doggy life jacket. Even experienced swimmers are safer with a life jacket.
- 4. Get a pool alarm. This will let you know if anything, including your dog, enters your pool when you aren’t looking.
- 5. Learn dog CPR. If an emergency happens, you’ll need to know how to help your dog.
Summer is a lot of fun, but it also presents some new dangers for our dogs. Keep these tips in mind, and you’ll have a great season by the pool with your pooch. Don’t forget to take pictures and videos if your dog does something silly in the pool like Cody in the video above!
