Spring is just around the corner What better way to celebrate and welcome the new season, then with a trip to the open water, the beach, the pool, and lake or river. As a safety precaution for any water activity, having a flotation life vest is essential . The same safety precaution of having a life vest should also apply to our dogs. Some of the most common breeds such as Labs and Goldies were engineered to love the water, while other breeds like our two Shibas require a little persuasion. Regardless of what type of dog or dogs you own, if you love the water, your dogs will eventually love the water too.
Swimming comes natural for dogs - almost as natural as walking or running, and is a great form of exercise. Hydro-therapy has also been proven to greatly improve a dog's recovery from injury or anxiety, and you can't forget the resulting bond that is strengthened between you and your Pooch. Needless to say, the advantages of incorporating water into your dog's active lifestyle are well documented.
