PET Pool & Home - #PoolTip: Skimming your pool's surface by hand every few days is one of the fastest and easiest ways to keep your pool clean and it will significantly increase the efficiency of the pool's circulation system and lowers the amount of chlorine you'll need to add to your pool. Floating debris will eventually sink, becoming harder to remove. Use a long-handled net to remove leaves, bugs and other unwanted items. #PetPoolWarehouse | Facebook

Summer means fun in the sun. If you are fortunate enough to own a pool, or have access to one that allows dogs, it’s important to be aware of the hazards. Keep a bowl of clean, cool water available at all times. Drinking large quantities of water from the pool, or making pool water the primary source of water, should be discouraged. Encourage your dog to take frequent water breaks when running around. #PetPoolWarehouse #PetSafety
