Our Labs love going to the beach and swimming.\u00a0 If you take your dog to the beach, you should know that there is a very good chance that it will get “beach\u00a0diarrhea”.\u00a0\u00a0 Salt water\u00a0can cause diarrhea and vomitting.\u00a0 Even if your dog doesn’t actually drink salt water, he can ingest small amounts through soaked balls and toys or by swimming in the salt water.\u00a0 So you should offer your dog clean, fresh water to drink.\u00a0 Bring a big gallon jug of water and a bowl to the dog beach and remind your dog to take water breaks every 15 minutes.\u00a0 Be prepared that he may have diarrhea in the car on the way home, so make a stop if you don’t think he can hold it.\u00a0 You will quickly learn which dogs can hold it and which dogs can’t.\u00a0 Also, be prepared to stay home for a few hours after you get home from the beach to let the dog outside every hour, or you may come home to a mess.<\/p>\n
