After pool swimming, rinse your dog with fresh water, dry the coat thoroughly, dry only the outer ear flap and nearby hair, and check paws plus collar or harness areas.
Rinse, Dry, Then Brush
Keep water away from ears, eyes, and nose. Towel-dry paws, belly, tail, coat layers, and gear-contact areas. Brush when the coat is dry enough and separates easily.
Stop Signs
Stop for eye pain, ear pain, redness, swelling, discharge, coughing, vomiting, suspected chemical exposure, panic, or unsafe handling.
