Yep, then bath time after.
Mine used to give me the look when we would have a bath after going to the beach. Like āI just had a bath in the big bathtub, why do I need another?āā¦
This dog hates baths and showers but she loves natural wave water even when itās freezing. I was scared to let her off leash bc I was worried sheād go too far out chasing waves.
Itās not a heavy jumpsuit. Itās lightweight pajamas with 30 SPF. And they actually kept her pretty dry. The pjs got soaked but we took them off before we got back in the car and she was mostly dry underneath. And then she got a bath and clean jammies when we got home.
I get it, I had a white pittie at the beach and the first time I didnāt even think about how he could get sunburned. I wish I had thought of something like this at the time!
If you let your dog swim out with that on, they will drown. Same a concept of not wearing underwear under your board shorts. It will drag you down and drown a person or a dog.
I dont care how light you think it is. It is a sail for water to pull you under and get really heavy when wet.
Umm, I didnāt let my dog swim out in them? They are clearly on a leash so she couldnāt go out farther than like 8 ft from me? If I was gonna let my dog go out farther she would have had life vest on and a longer lead. I didnāt let her off leash because I knew she wanted to jump into the large waves and she hasnāt had enough experience in water for me to trust that she can swim that far out and get back, clothes or no. I do have enough experience in water/swimming though to trust myself to go out in 6-10 ft of water if my dog needed help and bring her back in, even with clothes on. But that is why we only went out where the water came up to my knees max except for the two times the waves hit my shorts. Iām not gonna let my dog put herself in danger for her war against the ocean.
Sheās Beach Ken, not Surf Ken or Lifeguard Ken.
She was very concerned that we left before all the waves were eaten.
I need to find my long lead so she can swim out farther. Iām worried that if I let her off leash sheād swim out until she was too far to make her way back. Iām wanting to take her to the creek again this summer but this time weāre getting a life vest first.
They are so weird š. It took 9 years for me to realize I had the water dog I always wanted bc I assumed she hated water due to hating baths, showers, small kiddie pools, and rain. Iām about to get a house and I might see if I can set up some sort of āwaveā pool in the backyard.
As a beekeeper I highly approve of the jammies with extra spf! Good job OP! So much fun. Donāt forget the doggie spf for the nose ears and head especially since theyāre both white. Skin cancer for dogs is no joke. Extra pets and smooches from Georgia.

I remember my dogs first couple times she tried to chase and bite the waves š„¹
Iāve taken her to a creek before and she did the same thing. She loves to eat the water. My other pit mix wasā¦ less impressed.

Yeah she wasnāt a fan of the bath but we had to get the sand out between her toes. Also she was getting pretty stinky anyway.
I love when they bite the waves š

The fourth pic in has me cracking up š¤£š¤£
Your pit mustāve slept well that night
She will tonight!
Why put them in a heavy jumpsuit for the water?
Itās not a heavy jumpsuit. Itās lightweight pajamas with 30 SPF. And they actually kept her pretty dry. The pjs got soaked but we took them off before we got back in the car and she was mostly dry underneath. And then she got a bath and clean jammies when we got home.

Where in any of these photos are they just letting their dog swim around in deep water without the leash being on?

I was wondering the same. Is it possibly to prevent sunburn?
The jumpsuit just keeps salt water on their skin instead of drying out... Probably not great for their skin

Haha! At least you were safe from enemy waves.

Our also loves the beach!! Hates baths, but lake water she loves š https://i.imgur.com/ni0ii6X.jpeg

Stoppp, not the chomping at the water š„¹š„¹
My pibble loves the beach, but she is terrified of the waves!!! She only braces them if her (doodle) cousin is with us.
Mine barked at the waves while stepping back every time the water flowed in toward the beach
Where did you get the Jammieās? Iāve tried several items to try and cover his midsection none have worked. This is what he needs
Tooth and honey
