How to Make Your Pool Puppy-Friendly

We can all agree that there’s no better way to beat the heat than by taking a dip in your pool. While we love to create new memories in these moments, making them enjoyable for all family members—including our four-legged friends—is essential. Here’s how you can create a splashing good time for your pup.

Ensure Easy Access

Ensuring your dog can safely enter and exit the pool is essential. We provide various ladders, decks, and fence solutions that can be adapted for canine use. Consider installing steps or a ramp for dogs to have a comfortable and safe way in and out of the water.

Safety First

Your dog’s safety is paramount. Keep your pup safe by investing in covers to prevent accidents.

Clean and Healthy Swimming

Maintaining clean water is crucial for your dog’s health—your dog will likely swallow water while swimming. Pool chemicals can keep the pool water balanced and clean, essential for protecting your pet’s skin and coat. Always choose pet-friendly options and follow the intended usage. Regularly skim and vacuum the pool using cleaning equipment to ensure a safe swimming environment.

Training and Supervision

Ensuring your dog knows how to swim is vital. Some dogs take to water naturally, while others may need a little training. Learn if your dog is a natural-born swimmer, and take steps to ensure your furry friend’s safety. And remember, never leave your pet unsupervised in the pool area.

Incorporating these puppy-friendly elements ensures your swimming pool is safe and enjoyable for your entire family. And while you’re gearing up for a fun and refreshing season—stop by Namco Pools for all your pool-related needs.
