Water safety for pets is essential, especially during warm weather or when near pools, lakes, or oceans. Always supervise your pet around water, as not all animals are natural swimmers. Consider using a pet life jacket for added safety, particularly for breeds that struggle with swimming. Before taking your pet into the water, ensure they are comfortable and familiar with the environment. Avoid letting them drink from stagnant water, which can contain harmful bacteria. After swimming, rinse your pet to remove chlorine or saltwater, and check for any signs of distress or injury.
