salt water will give dogs the "runs" (no i am not talking about the kind of hot laps around the house) this happens to all dogs, but like someone else sais allready, toy dogs are lower to the ground and can easily get water in their noses/mouths if a wave were to hit them......... other dangers include making them too cold...... you could watch the bacteria levels i suppose, not even people go into the water (except crazy surfers) when there is a red tide, bacteria levels can be dangerous if they are too high, and make sure you are not oon the beach by a sewage run off, that could turn out nasty as well........ i personally havent had this happen, but that is because dogs arent allowed on many beaches here....... i have had toby drink salt water when i was giving myself a pedicure (and let me tell ya......... the "nasty blasties" werent pretty) |
