Beach safety for dogs
- Salt water. Bring fresh water and offer it often; too much seawater means vomiting at best.
- Rinse after. Salt and sand irritate skin and paws; a quick rinse saves days of itching.
- Watch the waves. Even strong swimmers get into trouble in surf and currents -- keep close.
- Shade and rest. Dogs overheat faster than you; bring shade and enforce breaks.
Watch for blue-green algae. Warm still water can grow toxic scums that kill dogs within hours of drinking. Pea-soup colour, streaks or surface scum means no swimming and no drinking -- walk the shoreline instead and live to swim another day.
Inland water counts too
Dogs are not fussy about salt. A calm lake or slow river often beats a beach for swimming: gentler water, thinner crowds, and rules that are usually looser away from the official swim zones. Local pet shops know the access points dog owners actually use -- ask.
