With most of the country in the prime of 2013’s summer, many people flock to pools, lakes, and coastlines to keep cool.  Sadly, many are unable to bring their pets along to enjoy the same freshness due to an injury or age.  Why deny them the enjoyment of a cool dip in the water?

Dogs Love to Swim in the Pool

To those elderly dogs out there who might have arthritis, achy bones, or other illnesses, a nice swim on a hot day is just what the doctor order for relaxation.   Elderly dogs benefit from a swim in the pool when they have spine, hip and joint problems with the cool water, which helps to reduce the inflammation from those problems. The buoyancy of the water also gives your pet much relief from the pain that they might be experiencing. Much like a human benefits from physical pains, dogs are greatly helped by a dip in water, which helps them not only physically but mentally.

PetSTEP Pool Let Kit

If you already own a PetSTEP ramp, aluminum pool legs can be attached in a matter of seconds with provided screws. The legs sit at the bottom of the pool and provide a sturdy surface for the ramp to “sit on”. Additionally, the pool legs are hollow designed to fill with water to provide an anchor. A brace between two legs ensure the added sturdiness for the pool legs.
