If you have a pool or spend time with your dog around a pool then chances are you’ve seen your pup sneak a quick sip of pool water. Should this be discouraged? Yes, definitely. Is a small sip harmful? Probably not, but you should talk with your vet anyway. In many cases the amount of chlorine in a well maintained swimming pool is fairly low. However, if you’re not the one maintaining the pool do not assume the levels are low. Chlorinated water in general is not the best choice for animal or human. You should try and discourage your dog from drinking the pool water. If he does swallow a lot pool water (i.e while swimming), notify your vet. When your dog is outside of the pool, make sure plenty of fresh water is available in a doggy bowl. Click here for more tips or call your vets Davie, FL.
