Babybear has never been in a pool pre-say. I do therapy for him in a tub i fill in the bath tub. But we just got a pool yesterday for him 15'x35" round above ground. I have talked to a few people that do water therapy for their furbabies and they have two differant opinions on the chlorine in the pool. One that is a certified and has a doggie swim spa said chlorine is not good for dogs to use Bromile(this is in place of the chlorine) I am going to be looking into this tomorrow to find out how expensive it is. And if it can be used in a pool like ours. I did go to the store today and look on the back of all the pool chemicals and they all say hazarous to humans and domestic animals.( well isn't that lovely). I will look further into what can be used for furbabies and what is safe. I know none of us want our babies sick.
Now the other person I talked to lives in Florida and she has her furbabies in the pool a lot. She told me she uses chlorine. Just give the kids a bath after to get the chlorine off their coats. This might work too,, but as we all know Yorkies have very sensitive skin in some cases. And I am hoping the chlorined does not dry out Babybear's coat.
When I do swim Babybear I put him in his life jacket, but sometimes he will not do his therapy in it so I have to take it off. If you are going to put your baby in the pool I would buy a life jacket for the little one and try it that way. I would do it gradaully. Once they are in the water they usually are hard to get out.lol
If anyone has any suggestions about the chlorine please let me know. This is important for Babybear's recovery.
