Large Dogs Skamper Ramp
A large number of pets, particularly dogs, enjoy swimming but even the youngest, strongest swimmers can panic if they can’t find their way out, get fatigued or distressed. They will instinctively head for the closest edge of the pool and start clawing their way around the edge, looking for the exit they remember is there, somewhere. For owners of vinyl-lined pools this is an extremely expensive problem, as the entire liner may have to be replaced or at least repaired if it is ripped or torn.
Barking for help can cause throat damage to a dog. Since the animal will often swallow a good bit of water as it barks for help, the chemicals in the pool can damage its esophagus. Additionally, chlorine and algaecides can not only make a dog sick, but also cause coat and skin problems.
So when it comes to keeping a pet safe, money isn’t the issue. Effectiveness is. Peace-of-mind is worth more than expense. To many people, the death of a pet is just as difficult to cope with as a human family member. With the accompanying sense of acute loss and depression just as real as if it had been a “human” family member.
