A day at the beach is pure joy for dogs: running in the sand, splashing in the waves, and sniffing every interesting scent. But a fun day in the sun also comes with responsibilities. With the right planning and accessories, you can make your dog’s beach day both safe and unforgettable.
1. Bring the Essentials
A fun beach day needs a few key items to keep your dog happy:
-
Towels for drying off
-
Fresh water to prevent saltwater ingestion
-
Poop bags to keep the beach clean
-
Treats and toys for entertainment
2. Keep ID Up-to-Date with Personalised Tags
Accidents happen — a sudden splash or a darting run could separate your dog from you.
Ensure your dog wears a Personalised Dog Tag with up-to-date contact info. Zoopeez tags can feature:
-
Your dog’s portrait on the front for instant recognition
-
Contact info or emergency notes on the back
-
Durable materials that withstand water and sand
This way, if your dog wanders too far, they can be safely returned.
3. Protect Them from the Sun and Heat
Even furry friends can get sunburned or overheat. Tips for sunny beach days include:
-
Take breaks under shade or umbrellas
-
Keep water and a bowl handy for hydration
-
Avoid peak sun hours (10 am – 3 pm)
Some dogs may benefit from a lightweight cooling vest or UV-protective clothing for extra comfort.
4. Use a No-Pull Harness for Control and Safety
A beach is full of distractions — seagulls, other dogs, and the lure of the water.
Our No-Pull Dog Harness is perfect for keeping your dog safe while allowing them to explore. Benefits include:
-
Reducing pulling on walks along the beach
-
Protecting your dog’s neck from strain
-
Giving you better control around other dogs and people
Pair it with a Personalised Dog Lead for the ultimate combination of style and control.
5. Watch for Signs of Fatigue or Stress
Even the most playful dogs can get tired or overwhelmed. Look out for:
-
Heavy panting or drooling
-
Restlessness or avoidance of play
-
Limping or sensitivity
Make sure to give plenty of breaks, water, and a comfortable spot to rest.
6. Capture the Memories
Beach days create perfect photo opportunities! Zoopeez offers Pet Portrait Phone Cases so you can carry your dog’s beach memories wherever you go.
You can also capture moments of them in their No-Pull Harness or sporting their personalised collar and tag, making every adventure safe and stylish.
