Tips to keep dogs safe around the swimming pool
Look critically at your pool
Most pools have steps, but there are pools that do not have any, or the steps are quite deep and the side is too high for a small dog to reach that lip and clamber out of the water to safety. Some pools only have slippery vertical ladders with rungs that are too far apart for a pet to climb.
Expect the unexpected
It can happen so easily. Two dogs can simply be playing and a bump can result in one landing in the pool. Older dogs with poor sight can mistakenly walk into the pool. Accidents happen; even dogs can slip and lose their footing. Safeguard against a fatal ending. Take preventative action.
Which pets are at risk?
Old, obese, sickly and small pets are at greatest risk. Puppies or new pet members who are unfamiliar with the yard are too.
