Pets should be closely monitored for heat exhaustion, dry drowning when in and near a pool

A Kelowna vet and a pool company founder are issuing warnings about having your pets poolside.

Watt explained that pets can experience dry drowning"where they go under, inhale water, and they seem fine." The inhalation of water can cause the lungs to spasm and can suffocate the animal without obvious signs."Any coughing, any bleeding, any extreme lethargy after being in the pool needs to be addressed and I would recommend going straight to a veterinary clinic."

Allan Horwood, owner of Pool Patrol, said a great way to keep pets and kids safe around a pool is proper fencing and pool covers.
