Swimming pool (cont.)

But drowning is not the only risk a pet is exposed to when they are around a swimming pool. The water from the pool is always treated with many chemicals, and this can lead to irritated skin and, in the worst-case scenario, intoxication.

Another thing that you can do to keep your pets safe is to install an automatic pool cover or a pool alarm system. It’s important to choose a cover that can support the weight of your pet because many times they don’t understand that it is not safe to step on it, and they risk falling into the pool anyway.
