We all love to take our dogs to explore the world and specifically join our boat adventures. Let`s just don`t forget our dog`s well-being and safety during this exhausting environment we are taking our best friends to. So to make sure you get the maximum of enjoy on a boat tour with your dog, we listed 3 safety tips below:

– Invest in a life jacket: This will considerably increase the chance of an easy rescue in case of an emergency.
– Use common sense: No speeding, provide fresh water and know your dog`s limit are some basics.
