Summer is here! The heat attracts both people and dogs to the water. Swimming together is not only refreshing, it's also a fun way to socialize and exercise in the heat. But just as we put on sunscreen and check the temperature of the water, there are a few things to keep in mind to make swimming both safe and fun for your dog.
Not all dogs are born swimmers (but they can learn!)
Never force a dog into the water. Start in shallow moisture and let the dog set the pace. Feel free to use floating water toys for dogs or why not treats? Monster Freezies - 100% meat freeze-dried treats - are tasty and float if you drop them in the water. They're perfect!
If you go in the water yourself, the dog will see that it is not dangerous and will follow you. Some dogs jump in when their master jumps in to swim to catch up and stay close. Keep in mind that even good swimming dogs can get tired from an unusual activity like swimming. Keep an eye on how long your dog is in the water to avoid overexertion or getting cold. Dogs can drown if they get tired or panic about not getting out of the water. Life jackets are recommended for deeper moisture or longer swims.
Watch out for algal blooms and water tails
Blue-green algae are toxic to dogs - even small amounts can make them seriously ill. Avoid swimming if the water is cloudy, smells bad or has a green film on the surface, it may even be an algae bloom that is not visible to the eye. Always check local warnings before swimming!
Cold moisture + lots of swimming = risk of water tail (an inflammation of the tail root). Water tail can be painful and can last for a while, the tail becomes a bit like it is paralyzed and hangs down in a bow. This can be avoided by only allowing the dog to bathe for short periods of time, only when the water is warm and by drying it properly after bathing. Just as bathing makes us tired and hungry, so it does dogs.
Good to have in your beach bag:
