Basics for your pet to enjoy the water safely in summer

Summer is a great time for our pets to enjoy the water, whether in the ocean, pools, or rivers. However, it's essential to take certain precautions to ensure their safety. Here are some tips to help your furry friend have fun safely.

Your pet requires constant supervision. Never leave them alone near water. Accidents can happen in an instant, so it's crucial to always be vigilant.

It's very important to know your pet's abilities and capabilities. In fact, not all animals are good swimmers. Before letting them into the water, make sure they feel comfortable and safe. You can start with shallow areas and gradually check that they can swim well.

The use of life jackets is quite an invention. And in this case, they're specifically designed for pets that aren't used to swimming or for deeper waters, where a life jacket can be an excellent option. These provide additional buoyancy and safety.

On the other hand, it's best to avoid dangerous areas. For example, at sea, be careful of strong currents and large waves. In rivers and lakes, make sure there are no fast-moving currents or areas with algae that could trap your pet.

Put on sunscreen

In this post, we'll also address hygiene and health. After swimming, it's important to rinse your pet thoroughly with clean water to remove traces of chlorine, salt, or any other contaminants or substances that could cause an adverse reaction. Also, be sure to dry their ears thoroughly to prevent infections.

Be careful, as we've mentioned in other posts , pets can also suffer from sunburn, especially those with short fur or light skin. Use sunscreens specifically for pets and limit direct sun exposure.

By following these recommendations, we think you can rest assured that your pet can enjoy the water safely this summer. Enjoy unforgettable, refreshing moments with your furry friend!
