In this age of social networking, animal video that are both heartwarming and funny often go viral, leaving us smiling. One viral shows two mischievous puppies on an aquatic adventure. Under the laughter, however, is a reminder that destructive behavior can be dangerous for pets. It’s important to secure backyard amenities, including pool covers, in order to keep them safe.
A viral video shows how destructive dogs can be to pools when left unsupervised
In the now famous video, an adorable husky pup walks cautiously over a pool cover. It appears concerned as it peers through a tear. In a matter of seconds, a second puppy emerges, drenched and completely covered from what appears to be an unauthorized swim. This video is a good reminder of how dogs’ boundless curiosity can lead to dangerous situations.
Destructive Dogs & Pool Covers
The playful nature of Huskies is a trait that makes them a favorite among pet owners around the world. However, their mischievous tendencies can sometimes have unintended consequences, especially when it comes to pool covers. This video shows how unsupervised dogs can cause thousands of dollars of damage to pool covers, equipment and even the surface of the pool.
Pool Covers: A Dangerous Mistake
The viral video was funny, but it also highlighted the dangers that such situations could pose. The second puppy could have drowned if it had not found its way to the hole. Young and inexperienced dogs may have difficulty navigating unfamiliar terrains or escaping from life-threatening situations.
The importance of responsible pet ownership
It is our duty as pet owners to protect our pets and the people around them. Pool Covers serve to keep out debris and preserve the water quality, but they are also a safety feature that prevents pets and children from falling into the swimming pool. This viral video is a powerful reminder of the dangers of not securing pool covers. Over 40,000 pets drown each year, so as responsible pet owners we want to do all we can to protect our furry friends.
Regular inspections and security measures
Pool owners and pet owners must inspect pool covers regularly for signs of wear to prevent incidents like this. Like any outdoor structure, pool covers can degrade over time as a result of exposure to the elements. To maintain the effectiveness of pool covers and to ensure their safety for both humans and pets, any tears, rips or weak areas should be repaired or replaced immediately.
Pet owners should also take proactive steps to secure their backyards to prevent unsupervised entry to pools and other hazardous areas. Installing gates and fences can prevent pets from entering these areas without supervision.
