Ottawa and Valley Lost Pet Network Backyard swimming pools are synonymous with summer fun. But they can be deadly for pets and wildlife. Sadly one cat we posted this week was found in a neighbour's pool Pool drownings are tragic, because they are preventable. Animals—from skunks, chipmunks, and mice to lizards, frogs, and snakes, or ducks, fledgling birds, and even pets can find themselves in a pool with no way to escape. A few simple pool precautions can help dramatically lower the danger to animals: When building a pool, design lounge ledges along the sides just below the water's surface, providing shallow areas from which animals can easily escape. Build a fence around the pool. Or just a simple set up as seen on these pics can save lives. Please keep your pets safe. (Click picture to enlarge.) |
