Doggy Paddle 101

Not every pup is a natural Michael Phelps. Start with some shallow-end splashing and work your way up. Positive reinforcement is key – treats and praise make for happy swimmers!

Fence It Up, Folks!

A good fence is like a superhero cape for your pool. Make sure it’s at least 4 feet high with a self-closing gate. It’ll keep Fido from throwing his own pool party when you’re not looking.

Hydration Station

Just like you, your furry friends need their H2O! Set up a “hydration station” near the pool with fresh water. This keeps your pets hydrated and reduces the temptation for them to lap up pool water. Just make sure it’s in the shade to keep the water cool and refreshing!

Exit Strategy

Install some pet-friendly exit ramps or steps. Think of them as little pet escalators – making grand exits easy peasy for your four-legged friends.

Floaties Aren’t Just for Kids

Get your pet a stylish life jacket. Bonus points if it’s neon – it’ll make your pup the coolest cat (or dog) at the pool!

Be the Lifeguard

Channel your inner David Hasselhoff and keep a watchful eye on your pets. No one looks better in slow-motion running than you do, anyway.

Chemistry Isn’t Just for Breaking Bad

We’re pros at keeping pool water crystal clear and safe. Make sure your home pool’s chemistry is on point – too much chlorine can turn your white pup green! If DIY isn’t your thing, that’s what we’re here for.

Rinse and Repeat

Give your pet a quick freshwater rinse after their swim. It’s like a spa treatment, minus the cucumber slices.

By following these pet pool safety tips, you’ll create a secure and enjoyable environment for your furry friends to beat the heat.
