It is important to keep all members of your family safe in and around water, K9 911 reminds us that most dogs do not know how to swim. If your dog falls into deep water, its center of gravity is what will make them sink almost immediately when they get tired. Take precautions such as don't play around fast moving water; put a lifejacket on your dog if you are around deep water or boating; work on obedience so you can recall your dog if they tread into difficult water - thanks K9 911 for the advice.
