The Skamper Ramp: Your Dogs Newest Swimming Supply

In the past a large number of family pets met their demise in swimming pool tragedies. With the majority of US residents having outdoor lives in the summer months, this is not a surprise. It is obvious to take the dog or other pet out with you. We take so many measures for safety when it comes to protecting our children from the pitfalls of water danger, what are we doing for our capricious canine? When your dog falls into your pool, it is true that they will be able to swim for a bit, but if you can not help them fast, they will get tired and their chances of drowning increase. Is there a solution to prevent this tragedy? One company has created one, and if you are a dog and a pool owner, you are going to want to take consideration towards the purchase of a new swimming supply for your animal this year. It's called the Skamper Ramp.

The Skamper Ramp produces and distributes this animal-friendly swimming supply in two sizes - regular, and Big Dog. This is a safeguarded exit or entrance ramp from the pool to poolside that your loving pet can use effortlessly. It is both chemical and UV retardant, and is essentially a plastic ramp with wing strips, nylon rope attachments and fasteners, and some D-Ring clips for attaching it to the side of your pool.

You will have to orient your dog how to use this nouveau swimming supply. It has been shown that undomesticated will instinctively understand how to use the Skamper Ramp in the event of an emergency. But the more domesticated your dog is, the more he will need to shown how to use this device. Take your pet right in the pool with you, and show them how they can climb right out of the pool using the ramp. If they are resistant to this, put one of their favorite treats on the pool side at the top of the ramp. As always when you are using food to allure your dog, only do this once or twice or they will expect this every time they climb out of the pool.

If the Skamper Ramp isn't 100% foolproof and you still have concerns about their pool safety, invest in a life jacket. There are many pet stores online that offer all different sizes of them, and you can get them in a variety of colors as well. Dogs love to be in the water, but if they feel the least bit unsafe, problems will arise. There is no reason you can't protect them the same way you would protect your children. I recommend that you find out about the Skamper Ramp and other devices if you have your own swimming pool.
