5) A lifejacket with handles. Your dog may be a great
swimmer, but if he bails off the boat or loses his footing, you’ll be really happy for that life jacket with handles when you go to scoop him back up. And you’ll be less panicked knowing that he is wearing a flotation device while you turn the boat around to go after him. Discover Boating spokesperson Ellen Hopkins suggests giving
your dog a chance to practice swimming in the life jacket before taking him out on the water. “Give your dog a chance to get used to wearing the life jacket before actually getting on the boat.” 6) A first-aid kit containing a three-ounce container of
bleach, styptic powder or pads, betadine, antibiotic ointment, Bendadryl, non-stick telfa pads and vet-wrap or paper surgical tape. Any wound created in salt water – human or animal – should be doused immediately with a mixture of 25 percent bleach to 75 percent fresh water. Bleach kills approximately 99 percent of all bacteria. NOTE: Hydrogen peroxide can actual- ly bubble up and seal bacteria into a wound, so leave it at home. Styptic powder or pads can then be used to staunch bleeding. Betadine can be used to flush deep wounds after initial disinfect- ing with bleach solution. To keep tissues soft and viable, slather with antibiotic ointment and cover with non-stick telfa pads and secure with vet wrap or tape. NOTE: Make sure that you pull the vet wrap off the roll first and then wrap the area, as the vet wrap is pre-tensioned on the roll and can cut off circulation. Benadryl can be used in dosage of one to two milligrams per pound for insect bites that cause swelling or any sort of allergic reaction. NOTE: Do not attempt any treatment unless the animal is
muzzled. If you do not have a muzzle, use a leash or a piece of fabric laid over the bridge of the nose, crossed under the chin and brought up, then tied tight behind the ears to make sure you are not bitten. Do not assume that any of these measures are sufficient. Pull anchor and see your vet as soon as the dog is stabilized.
IN AND OUT OF THEWATER.

Many dogs try to get back in their boat but are unable to figure out the ladder. I taught my dogs to swim onto a closed-cell foam float so that when they tire, they can still be around their humans, but not have to be swimming or on the boat. Many dogs can learn to navigate boat ladders once they have their footing on the float.
