I also have them drink from their water bowls, so that they don't drink the lake water.
When as we frequently do, have a day at the lake, with repetitive swim times, they have homemade treats in between swims.
I am wondering now if I should make up special treats, with a bit of sea salt on the dried treats.... | Gail, I did think of you when I saw the video of your dog jumping in the water. It looks like they have a blast. I am glad you are going to research it. Perhaps giving them an electrolyte solution would help prevent it too.
