@petreleaf: Taking your dog swimming in a pool for the first time? Here are a few quick tips to help your pup stay safe before they take a dip: ✅ Start with a quick vet check to make sure swimming is safe for your dog ✅ Use a life jacket with a handle (even strong swimmers benefit from extra support) ✅ Keep sessions short (especially early on) to avoid exhaustion, skin irritation, or swimmer’s tail ✅ Keep a bowl of fresh water nearby and discourage drinking from chlorine or saltwater pools ✅ Rinse your pup thoroughly after swimming, especially around the armpits and groin ✅ Follow-up with a gentle shampoo and paw balm to prevent dryness ( @petreleaf grooming products are pH-balanced and made for pets with even the most sensitive skin! )
