Dogs at the Beach

Startin to take the Dogs to the Beach and was wondering if there anything Major to look out for or anything like that?...... as there have never been before

Thanks Taylor69

Ahhhh, the beach is so much fun but I think your beaches in the UK are quite different to ours here in Aus.

Don't forget your camera, as we all just love seeing pics of all the adventures our doggies go on

love to have a beach nearby we would never be off it, just make sure they dont go too deep in the sea if they cant swim

dont forget pics

Dead jellyfish!

Moo ate one the first time we went to the beach, she was rather ill after!

Don't forget the camera Xx

the beach is fantastic dogs absolutely love it rolling in the sand running in and out of the water. take a bottle with plenty fresh water though cos they tend to drink the sea water which will then inevitably pass right through and make it look like they are peeing out of their bum. OR IS MY LEMMY JUST STUPID

Same here

clio gets major eye boggies when she goes on the beach so take bit of soft toilet paper to get the sand out of her eyes

lol! Lemmy is not stupid! just a staffy! Russell drank a lot of seawater when we took him, we forgot about bringing freshwater for him (he ended up drinking all mine from my drink bottle - but I'd rather that the him having the squirts in the car)
so that is a great tip! plenty of fresh water!

Plenty of clean drinking water
Soft towel for after
Tissue to wipe eyes.

Look out for jelly fish, star fish and shark egg pods also seaweed.

These things can really make a dog have an upset tummy.

Also watch for sharp shells and stones cutting their feet, a first aid kit in the car might be useful.

Once home, after taking loads of pics, make sure you get them in the shower and rinse (not shampoo) the salt and sand put of their coats so as they dont get irritated when it dries in the fur.

Enjoy your trip!

watch him near the rocks, kenny jumped off them once, luckly,the water wasnt very deep and my hubby was right behind him

Lola loves the beach, not the water mind you!
Can't blame her though it is the north sea!!!
