Canine Water Safety

Canine Water Safety
Objective: Prepare your team for providing water play options during the heat of summer.

Learn tips for preventing injury and accidents during water play.

Content: There’s nothing more enjoyable in the summer heat than a dip into the pool or romp through the sprinklers. Water play is an excellent way for dogs to expend excess energy playfully. However, keeping our furry friends safe during water play requires communication and attentiveness. This Lunch & Learn is designed to facilitate discussion on keeping everyone safe during water play in its various forms. In addition, implementing specific water safety procedures and staff training will keep everyone happy and healthy.

Owner/Operator Tip: If you do not have formal water safety protocols and procedures in your center, this is an excellent opportunity to have your team assist in putting this information together for your Operations Manual.
