Does Rover have a PFD (Person Flotation Device)?
Most dogs can swim, but the extra protection of a PFD is worthwhile. It also gives some warmth on cool days or in cold water. Doggie wetsuits are available if Sparky like to swim alongside the boat. Keep an eye on him, because dogs get hypothermia too! • Keep the first few outings short. The experience of being on the water might be difficult for a high-energy dog. Ten of fifteen minutes might be all that either of you can tolerate at first. Use a consistent routine for entering and exiting the boat. This may help prevent unexpected departures when you and Penny are on the water. Reward her for good behavior and keep it fun!
