Your Furry Family Members Need Pool Safety Too

As Long Island families start opening their pools for the season, we’re reminded that pool safety isn’t just about protecting our children. It’s about protecting every member of the family, including our beloved pets.

Dogs are naturally curious and love to explore, especially during these beautiful May days when everyone’s spending more time outside. While many dogs are excellent swimmers, pools present unique dangers that even water-loving breeds can struggle with.

Unlike natural bodies of water, swimming pools have vertical walls that can trap a pet who falls in unexpectedly. Even strong swimming dogs can panic when they can’t find an easy way out. The smooth pool walls offer no grip, and without a clear exit strategy, exhaustion can set in quickly.

Pool chemicals also pose risks to pets. Chlorinated water isn’t meant for regular consumption, and wet paws on pool decking can become slippery, creating fall hazards.

A 4-sided pool fencing reduces child drowning risk by up to 83%, and that same barrier protection works beautifully for pets. Our Baby Loc Safety Fence and Aquaview Glass Frameless Safety Fence both create secure boundaries that keep curious paws safely away from the water when unsupervised.

Many Nassau County and Suffolk County families tell us their peace of mind doubled when they realized their new pool fence was protecting their dogs and cats alongside their children and grandchildren.

Both our fencing options provide excellent pet protection, but they serve different family needs:

Our Aquaview Glass fence offers a stunning “fence that disappears into your backyard” while providing a solid barrier. You get a crystal clear view of the pool and your kids and pets while knowing everyone stays safe. The frameless tempered glass can’t be climbed or pushed through, making it ideal for determined diggers or jumpers.

Our Baby Loc mesh fence provides ASTM certified protection with seasonal flexibility. Many pet families love that they can remove sections during pool parties while maintaining safety the rest of the time.

The best part? You don’t have to choose between safety and style anymore. Whether you select our mesh or glass fencing, your Long Island backyard remains the beautiful space where your whole family—two-legged and four-legged members alike—can relax and enjoy summer together.

With the warm weather officially here, families across Nassau and Suffolk Counties are getting their pools ready. Don’t forget to include your furry family members in your safety planning.

Our team has been serving Long Island families for 25 years, and we’ve installed pool safety solutions in backyards with every type of pet, from tiny Yorkies to Great Danes. We understand that your pets aren’t just animals. They’re family.
