Swimming with your dogs.

Cleaning your pool after swimming with your dog.
You will need to clean your pool more often if your dog swims with you. Cleaning your pool once a week is recommended for normal us, but if your dog swims with you regularly, then cleaning it twice a week is more like it. A dog’s skin will add phosphates to your pool water. Therefore, you’ll need to treat your pool twice a week versus once weekly if you swim with your dog regularly. Keep your chlorine around 1-3 pm and keep your pH and alkalinity balanced.
Cleaning your dog after swimming in the pool.
If you have a chlorine pool, washing your dog after a swim is extra important. Chlorine can irritate your dog’s skin if it’s left too long. Saltwater pools are safer for your pet’s skin, but washing your dog after swimming in a saltwater pool is still important. All dogs are different, and there isn’t a way to know how their skin would react if left unbathed.
