Summer is upon us, and with warm weather and sunny skies, many owners
are choosing to take their canines out to sea on their boats. Many four-legged companions enjoy sailing as much (heck, maybe even
more) than their human counterparts. The feeling of the wind in your fur and the
smell of salt air is enough to make any canine go crazy!
However, there are plenty of safety considerations to keep in mind
before bringing your dog on board. The folks over at K9 of Mine have published a new Dog Safety Tips
Infographic that they've shared with us here at Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them to help keep canine
companions safe this sailing season.

Make sure to read these tips before you take your pet out on the water!

| Poor Icy and Phoebe are canine Land Lubbers, hopefully we can get out on the ocean, or at least in the bay this Summer! |
🐶 I'll be sure to get a Life Vest for dogs before I bring my dogs on any boat, you should too! PetSmart has a large variety of dog life vests and life jackets at varied prices.

The boys have never been in a boat but we hope to get them on the water this summer! Great infographic ❤️
ReplyDeleteI love this Info-Graphic, I think it's a great pet safety sheet!
DeleteMany years ago when we used to camp, my hubby had a fishing boat. Our dogs at the time absolutely loved going out in the boat! We had to train our Lab mix Maggie to stay in the boat until we stopped and told her it was OK to swim. I really miss those days!
ReplyDeletePS...Having your dog fall out of the boat is NOT a good way to learn that they can indeed swim. We weren't very smart back then at times (and got life jackets for them after that).

That must have been so great! I'm dying to get Icy & Phoebe out on a boat this Summer. Life jackets are a must for sure.
DeleteWe have not taken Ruby out on a boat yet. We are still trying to get her used to walking on the beach or near water.
ReplyDeleteOur former dog, Pip, loved the water and boat rides. He was a Yorkie and we had a little life jacket for him.
The more I hear about Pip the more amazing I can see he was. I'm sure Ruby will get there, taking it slow is the smartest thing you can do.
DeleteI just Pinned this to my dog board. Considering it's summer, this is timely info!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you found it Pin-worthy! I definitely think it's so timely. I see a lot of people with dogs on boats, sitting out on the front of the boat with no life jacket and no one close to the dog. It always frightens me.
DeleteMy dogs have been in a canoe and they enjoyed it! These are great tips for boat safety.
