Should you have any concerns?

It is important to note that not all dogs are able to swim, but if they can swim, it is a great way to keep them active and healthy. It's also a great workout for you! A lot of people don't think about swimming with their dogs because they are afraid that the dog will make a mess in the pool or that they won't know how to handle their dog in the water. But there are many ways you can still enjoy swimming with your pup without any of these problems! And yes, the pool is safe for your furry friends with the chemicals that can be found in pools. As far as chlorine: the amount in a pool is negligible, but the toxic concerns are with dogs getting into chlorine tablets, so they should be put in a safe location where a dog cannot ingest them (AKC.org). It is also advised to keep your dog and any other pets from drinking the pool water. The pool can look like a giant water dish and may cause them to gravitate to it when thirsty.
