Dogs love to swim in ponds. Is it safe for your pet?
Can a dog swim in open water
Swimming in a pond can be unsafe for a dog.
The fact is that the depth of a river or lake may be deeper than you thought.
There can also be strong currents in open water.
There may be glass or other debris at the bottom of the pond that could injure your pet.
Also in nature you can meet wild animals that live in the water or near the pond.
Sometimes dogs can suddenly start hunting for small animals, run away and get lost.
To make bathing your pet as safe as possible, choose small bodies of water that are designed for swimming.
They, as a rule, have clean water, a cleared bottom, and a convenient location.
It is best to bathe with your pet so that it is under your control.
Choose only proven and safe places to swim.
Don't forget to take your dog's leash with you.
Previously, we talked about how to tell if your dog is happy with you.
