5 Helpful Boating Tips for Dog Lovers
Here at the best boat club in Missouri, we are dog-friendly. We allow our members to bring their dogs on our boats with them to enjoy the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks scenery and weather. If you want to make some unforgettable memories with your furry friends this summer, call Freedom Boat Club at 573-302-0392 or visit our website at www.FreedomBoatClubLOTO.com. Keep reading for a few helpful boating tips for dog lovers.
1. Put him or her in a life jacket.
Safety first! Just like with your “human” family members, pack a life jacket for your dog as well. Visit your local pet store or do a quick online search for your fur baby’s life jacket. Make sure it fits comfortably before going on the boat.
2. Bring drinking water for your furry friend.
Dogs can get hot easily being out in the sunshine on the Lake of the Ozarks, don’t make them drink the Lake water. Bring a bottle of water and a portable dog bowl for your four-legged friend to drink out of.
3. Have a safety plan for your dog.
You should have a plan for all sort of possible situations that could happen with your dog on board. For example, keep the following in mind:
• First aid kit for your dog
• An emergency plan for your dog if they fall overboard
• Dog sunscreen (for those dogs that don’t have a lot of fur)
4. Be mindful of your dog’s potty breaks.
Don’t make your dog feel like they have to go potty in the Lake. Know where you plan to stop and how long you will boat before returning to land so your dog can take a potty break.
5. Go easy over the wakes.
Keep in mind that when you feel those slight bumps as your captain boats over a big wake, your dog is most likely going to feel twice the impact you do because of how small they are compared to you. Take it slow over the wakes and try to hold on to your dog as you go over them.
