AQUEOS TOP TIPS FOR DOGS THAT LIKE TO SWIM⠀

If you take your dog to the beach, consider these tips. ⠀
⠀
Salt water is just as bad for dogs as it is for us, so don’t let them drink or swallow too much and bring water with you. ⠀
⠀
Be wary of tides. ⠀
⠀
Try resting your dog every ten minutes so they don’t exhaust themselves. ⠀
⠀
Wash the salt and sand off your dog so it doesn’t dry out and irritate their skin. ⠀
⠀
If you take your dog to a river, beware of hidden currents. Ensure that the river is clean because algae can be toxic to dogs. Contact your vet if you think your dog has swam in contaminated water. ⠀
⠀
Dogs can drown in the sea and rivers if you aren’t careful. However, you shouldn’t put yourself in a dangerous situation in the attempt to rescue them. Many dog owners drown this way every year.
