Pool Safety for Pets

broken image

Do you have a pool in your backyard? How about pets? If you have cats, dogs or another type of pet and you have a pool then you want to make sure you read up on these pet and pool safety tips. First, talk with your vet to find out if your dog is a candidate for swimming. If not, then you should keep your dog away from the pool or open bodies of water. For swimmers, there are a few things to add to your pool to keep the dog or cat safe. For instance, add a safety ramp that allows your dog to enter and exit the pool with little to no problem. Keep a fence around your pool so you can control when your dog or cat is around the pool. Keep pool covers sealed and tight and ensure they are leak proof. If your pet walks on it you don’t want it to give way. Ask your vet Lewisville, TX for more tips. Or make an appointment at this website Riverchase Animal Hospital.
