Do your summer plans include a beach trip with your pets? Keep these precautions in mind to ensure your pet stays safe while you enjoy your vacation together!
➡️ Salt water can be toxic to dogs
➡️ Salt water toxicity can be seen if your dog has accidentally swallowed too much water while playing, or if they’re purposefully drinking it as a refreshment
➡️ It only takes a cup or two to cause severe dehydration, which may lead to kidney damage, seizures, and even death
➡️ Less than a gallon of salt water can endanger a large dog’s life
What to look for:
Signs of salt water toxicity can appear within 30 minutes of ingestion, but may not appear for several hours, and include:
‼️Vomiting
‼️Diarrhea
‼️Stumbling
‼️Disorientation
‼️Change in attitude
‼️Seizures
‼️Collapse
How to avoid it:
🔆 Have fresh, clean water available for your pets to drink
🔅 Make sure your pet is playing mostly away from salt water areas
🔆 Check on your pet often
🔆 Make sure they’re not getting too hot by bringing shade and cooling blankets
Please contact your nearest emergency clinic if you suspect your pet may be suffering from Salt Water Toxicity.
