Water Intoxication

Can occur when a dog swallows an excess amount of water. This is possible when dogs are playing with water, playing in the river or swimming. Water intoxication in dogs is rare, however it is possible for symptoms to show if a dog has taken in a large amount of water. When dogs have water intoxication, the amount of sodium in their blood becomes diluted, which can lead to hyponatremia (very low levels of sodium in their blood). The flow of water can cause swelling of the cells, and if this causes the brain cells to swell, this can lead to potential brain damage. Dogs who have water intoxication may lose coordination and could become lethargic and begin to vomit. You could also notice signs such as excessive salivation and dilated pupils. Although all dogs are at risk of this when around water, dogs with a smaller amount of fat to absorb excess fluid, and smaller dogs are at a higher risk of water intoxication.

For this reason, we highly encourage allowing your dog to have breaks on our splash deck during your booked swim time. Please ensure that your dogs are having enough time out of the water as well as in the water. If you notice your dog is taking in a lot of water while swimming, get them out and have a short play session to give them a break.

Dry drowning

(or secondary drowning) occurs when a dog inhales water and experiences a delayed reaction, leading to fluid in the lungs hours or even days later, which can be fatal. Symptoms can include coughing, difficulty breathing, lethargy, drooling, and a blue or grey colour to the gums and skin. It is crucial to seek immediate veterinary attention for any dog that has experienced a near-drowning incident, even if they seem fine at first, as complications can be severe. Dry drowning is a very rare case and we would like to avoid it at any cost!

If your dog has an underlying or medical condition or you’re just unsure please check with your vet before booking a session!
