Whether you’re hosting a pool party for your pup in your garden, terrace, balcony
or visiting your local dog swimming pool, make sure
you check off the items on this list for the
most amazing pool party for pets!
- Call some cool friends
What’s a pool party without some friends?
So call up your hooman and doggo friends and
set up a pool party!
If you can’t do that, call up your
local pet swimming pool
and ask them
if they’d be ready to host one.
- Round up playtime essentials
Throw in some of your pet’s favorite toys in
the pool or carry them
with you when going out for a swim. You can
never go wrong with a tennis ball
or a light ball that floats. Toys will keep your
dog entertained and make them
want to splash around the pool a little longer.
- Carry fun floats
Fun floaties are a must-have! Flat surface floats
will be great for you
and your furry guests to play with,
relax on or get some
adorable pictures for your social media.
However, if any of your
furry friends are biters, the plastic floaties may
burst and not be such a great idea.
- Water, to drink
Surely, your dog will stay cool when they’re inside the
pool but they get a little exhausted and tired after
their swimming session.
So, keep plenty of fresh water around and if you’re
taking them out for a swim,
don’t forget to carry a water bottle for your pet!
- Ensure your dog doesn't eat an hour
before swimming
Remember when our parents would tell us to
wait a while before
we jumped in the pool after a meal? The same
applies to our dogs as well!
Dogs need some time to digest their food before
they go swimming.
Hence, if your dog has eaten, you must wait for
an hour before
your dog goes inside the water.
- Carry an emergency kit
Always keep their medicines and
emergency kit handy.
The kit should include medicines for vomiting
and upset stomach,
a wound healing spray and gauze. It is also
advisable to keep
the nearest vet’s number handy as well.
Wiggles.in Emergency Kit consists
of all essential
medicines needed in an emergency.
Alternatively, you can visit a dog swimming
pool that is
equipped with lifeguards and vets to ensure
your pet’s swimming
experience is safe and happy.
- There’s no party without treats
If you’re hosting a pool party, you can lay out some
treats for your furry guests. Sliced cucumbers,
watermelon ice cubes,
pet-friendly cookies or biscuits. Apart from that,
whip up some easy drinks for the furry guests to
keep them hydrated.
You can also carry some treats if you’re going
out to swim,
they’ll help to keep them distracted on the way
and will be loved
after their dip in the pool.
Cocotail Healthy Drink for Pets is the perfect
summer drink!
Barkstix™ Honey Chicken
Barkstix™ Berry Blast
- Post swimming, grooming is a must!
Once your pet is out of the pool, you must
bathe them with
some fresh water and dry them thoroughly. If you're
not comfortable doing this,
visit a pet swimming pool with a grooming station.
It is important for your dog to be clean and dry after
swimming so as to not catch a cold.
