Who Plans To Bring Their Dog Along On Boating Trips This Summer?
Who all has a dog out there? Many boaters do! Our dogs or fur babies are a part of our family. So, why wouldn't you want to bring them out on your boat with you, right? If this is your plan for this summer, our boat lift remote control company wishes you a fun, but safe time. Many dogs may get EXCITED to moment they see the water, so why waste time by not getting out on the water as fast as you safely can? Call Firstmate Controls today to talk about our New Units that can help you AND your fur baby get out on the water FASTER this summer. We can be reached at 866-570-9707.
ALLOW YOUR DOG TO WALK AROUND ON YOUR BOAT BEFORE TAKING IT OUT.
Before leaving, get your dog used to the boat. Let them on the boat while it is docked several times before going out to reinforce that it isn't a scary thing.
- Turn it on and off to help them get used to the noise as well.
- For the first several excursions, don't venture far and keep the boat at a slower pace.
Even though it may feel like a long process, it will pay off in the long run to make sure your dog feels safe and secure in the boat.
KEEP YOUR DOG WELL-HYDRATED AND FED.
Make sure you have some water in case you notice your dog is feeling dehydrated and panting more than normal. If you are spending a significant amount of time out on the water, however, it is important to make sure your dog is properly nourished and hydrated so they can stay healthy. It is easy for dogs to become overheated due to their thick hair/fur. Be sure to provide a shady place for them to take a break from the sun and rest.
HAVE AN EMERGENCY PLAN IN PLACE.
Talk to everyone going out on the water with you so everyone is on the same page with what to do just in case you dog falls overboard.
GET YOUR DOG A LIFE JACKET.
Get your dog a life jacket. Your dog may be an incredible swimmer, but everyone including dogs, gets tired sometimes. A reliable life jacket can save a life!
