Chlorinated pool water in moderation is generally safe for most dogs, but there are precautions. After swimming, always rinse your dog thoroughly with fresh water to prevent skin irritation and dryness, and to remove chlorine from their coat. Keep them from drinking large amounts of pool water, as ingredients like chlorine can cause stomach upset, vomiting, or diarrhea. Supervise them closely, especially if they are not strong swimmers. If your dog has sensitive skin or underlying health conditions, consult your vet first. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.Clinically Approved Standard by Dial A Vet Veterinary Team
