    Skamper Ramp Keeps Dogs Safe

    Posted August 16, 2007 by valentina

    Lots of dogs love water, and there’s not much cuter than a swimming pooch, but a pool can equal danger for dogs.  And just as you shouldn’t leave kids unattended poolside (duh!), the same goes for your family pet.  While the SPCA says the number one way to prevent your dog from drowning is supervision, they also promote the use of the Skamper Ramp ($49.50), a worthy invention from Skamper Ramp Industries that allows dogs to get out of the pool safely. The design allows your pet to get a grip much better than the tiled sides of a pool, which can be slippery for a wet and tired dog.  You still have to train your dog to use it, but the time spent is well worth it.  It could also save an unfortunate cat who plops in, but good luck training one to use it.
