☀️ Not all dogs are natural born swimmers. While many of our four legged friends enjoy taking a dip, some will sink straight to the bottom! 🌊
Here are some tips to keep your pet safe during swimming sessions:
• Offer fresh water. Make sure your pet has access to fresh, clean water before and after swimming. You want to avoid them drinking pool, lake, or river water.
• Use a life vest. If your pet will be in deep water, it’s best practice to provide them with a well fitted life vest.
• Teach pool exits. If you own a pool, teaching your pet where and how to exit the pool may save their life if they accidentally fall in while you’re not around.
Don’t forget to keep your pet’s age in mind. Many activities your dog used to enjoy, may become more difficult for them as they age. Dogs that used to swim the speed of athletes, may need to be supported by life vests or stick to shallower bodies of water as they get older. 🐾
🐶 Did you know that Sacramento was ranked #11 of the top 25 most dog-friendly cities in the US? Here is a list of some ways to have fun together. ☀️

•River Fox Train has certain excursions that are dog friendly. When purchasing tickets, don’t forget to select one for your furry friend!
•Walk around Old Sacramento. The area is dog friendly, as are many of the shops.
