Too much salt water while swimming
What about it?
Hi all!
We’ve been having a blast with our 10 month old Belgian Malinois /GSD pup in the ocean. Her swimming is so impressive and she even jumps off of little sea cliffs after the ball. She’s a big hit at the beach. Everyone wants to throw the ball for her and watch her be her doggie self braving waves. She will go for hours and it’s a great way to exercise a working breed that needs it.
Safety concerns: she always has fresh water available to drink, and there is always someone in the water with her to make sure she makes it to shore.
The issue is that she gets the major squirts afterwards. She doesn’t outright drink salt water. I think that she swallows it as she is swimming with the ball in her mouth. I’m concerned about salt water poisoning. Is there any way to mitigate this?
