Safety round garden ponds
In the summer, we are all aware and generally quite careful about the safety of our pets round garden ponds, particularly where dogs are concerned if only because some of them have the rather annoying habit of jumping in to cool themselves down and enjoy a good swim!
However, in the winter months, it is just as important if not even more important to watch our dogs around water, whether that is garden ponds, the little lake in the local park or the nearby river.
When the weather is like it has been in the last couple of weeks, the water can freeze over and it is impossible to know how strong the ice is, so when you are out walking your dog or just letting him or her out into the garden to relieve themselves or get some fresh air, be sure to watch them at all times.
Even better, if you have any garden ponds, make sure you set up a perimeter around it so the dog cannot even get near. If that is what you decide to do, then make sure the perimeter is safe, has no holes in it and just in case check it regularly and carefully.
Ponds in a garden can look great and if you’re going to get one put in your garden, then make sure you purchase from a reputable supplier and get it done properly. There are some great garden pond designs around and you can choose the one that not only suits your garden but is safer for children and pets too.
Garden ponds are not just dangerous for children but for dogs too!
