We want everyone to have a ‘Pawsome Summer’ and that includes having fun and staying safe. Today’s tips are about life jackets and water safety.
If you take your pet on adventures near water, a life jacket is a smart investment. Even the strongest swimmers need help. So, here are a few things to keep in mind:
Find the right life jacket for your pet. It shouldn’t be too loose or too tight. Do your research on what’s the best fit for your pet and your lifestyle, and keep in mind things like fit, weight, buoyancy, colour and attachments.
Introduce them to the life jacket slowly.
And slowly introduce them to water, while watching their reactions.
Get them used to the boat before a long trip.
Have all the essentials for your pet, including food, fresh water, pet-friendly sunscreen, and don’t forget to make a potty plan.
Have a first aid kit for both the pet and hoomans.
And keep a constant eye on your pet.
Don’t forget to share this with a pet parent in your life!
