If you have a puppy, or your dog is short-legged or brachycephalic, or just has not learned to properly swim yet, think about getting him a life jacket for dogs. He can wear this so he avoids becoming overly tired when in water. Be sure to supervise your pet when he goes out to the water, be wary of deep water, riptides, and sharks.
Saltwater can irritate your pet’s paws and skin. Therefore, rinse your dog with freshwater ideally before you leave the beach. If this is not possible, rinse him as soon as you get home. This helps in keeping him comfortable and his coat and skin healthy.
Lastly, bring along lots of towels and a thick blanket so you can line your car’s seat, specifically where the dog will sit during your ride home. He may fall asleep along the way, which makes your day at the beach worth it.
Call your pet clinic Wichita KS to make sure that your pet’s preventatives and vaccinations are up to date before taking your pet on outdoor excursions.
