we have an above ground pool. skittles loves the water, mr snickers tolerates it and the other 2 want nothing to do with it. i put their lifejackets on and skittles and snickers will swim to me but they'd really rather be on the float. i just purchased the skamper ramp so they can get out easier but they never go near the pool without me! i have a gate block with another gate just to make sure.
i'm sure that a small pool with only a few inches of water will be ok but please make sure you are there at all times. we had a terrible loss this winter because my sister and brother-in-law didn't pump the water off the pool cover after a very heavy rain. her peke got under the gate (still don't know how) and drowned because she slipped onto the cover and couldn't get out. please be careful. we are still sick over this. |
