What should you take when going to the water with your dog?
It depends on whether you are going for a short swim, paddleboarding, to the sea or spending the whole day by a lake. The basics are fresh water, a place to rest in the shade and equipment suited to the specific activity. For longer swimming, paddleboarding or boating, a life jacket can make sense; for shared play, choose suitable floating toys; and after swimming, something absorbent is useful for wet fur.
A life jacket for extra confidence
A life jacket is useful not only for dogs that are unsure in water. It is practical for paddleboarding, boating, longer swims or anywhere you need to be able to hold or lift the dog safely from the water.
A toy made for water
For retrieving in water, choose toys designed for water. Good visibility, easy gripping and a construction suitable for shared play in a wet environment are important.
After swimming, it is time to dry off
A dog drying robe helps absorb water from wet fur after swimming or bathing. It is useful in the car, on holiday and at home, so the dog does not have to dry wrapped only in a towel.
Choose gear according to what you actually do by the water
For a short swim at a pond, a toy, water and a towel may be enough. For paddleboarding or boating, a properly fitting life jacket with a strong handle matters more. On hot days, also provide shade, regular access to drinking water and cooling gear if your dog needs it. If you are spending the whole day by the water or going on holiday, combine water gear with practical travel equipment.
Frequently asked questions about water gear for dogs
Does a good swimmer still need a life jacket?
Not for every short swim. It can make sense for longer swimming, paddleboarding or boating, deep water and anywhere quick handling of the dog may be important. A strong handle on the jacket also makes it easier to hold the dog or lift it back onto a board or boat.
How do I choose a life jacket for my dog?
Follow the specific manufacturer’s size chart and pay particular attention to chest circumference and the dog’s weight. The jacket should stay stable on the body without restricting natural swimming movement. A strong handle on the back is a practical feature.
What should I take for my dog on a paddleboard?
A properly fitting life jacket with a handle, fresh water and a bowl, a leash for moving around on land and something to dry the dog after swimming are useful. Introduce the dog to both the paddleboard and water gradually and keep the dog under supervision while on the water.
What toy should I choose for water?
Choose a toy designed for water use that the dog can see easily and grip comfortably. Match the size to the dog and always check the toy’s condition before use.
What is useful after swimming?
A towel or absorbent dog drying robe is practical for wet fur. After swimming in the sea or chlorinated water, rinse the dog’s coat and equipment with clean water as needed and let the life jacket dry freely.
