Pets and Pools - A Swimming Summer Safety Idea!

With temperatures soaring, everybody loves a nice cool dip - but did you know that your swimming pool could be a death trap for your beloved pet?

A bit of forethought can help avert disaster though!

  • Any pet owner with a pool should introduce their animal to the water gradually and in a non-threatening way, to prevent panic the first time Fluffy or Fido is chased, falls or jumps into the pool - because it will happen sometime!

  • Even if your animal loves the water and is a strong swimmer, they can panic if they can’t find their way out, get fatigued or distressed, so ensure a happy ending for everyone by making sure any animal (pet or critter) that ends up in the pool can easily get out.
The Skamper Ramp is an animal safety product that can save the lives of dogs, cats, critters - even kids - by providing an easy way out of swimming pools!

As soon as we saw it, we thought, "What a fantastic idea! Why hasn't anyone thought of it before?!" And as a bonus, it's recyclable and 100% made in America: Safe, Green and Patriotic - why not pick one up for that 4th July puppy play date?
