In the summer, people with dogs often come to the fountain to cool off and escape the heat.
However, not everyone realizes the harm of swimming in fountains for dogs.
A dog's presence in a fountain can lead to bad consequences. The Moscow Agency reports details, citing Vladimir Golubev, President of the Russian Cynological Federation.
It is noted that the water in the fountain is not clean. Bathing in it can cause eye problems, fungal diseases, and worms in animals.
In addition, the water is dirty because there are ducks there. These birds can infect your pet with infections through the water.
According to Golubev, a dog in a fountain risks getting injured. There have also been situations when water drainage systems have been pulled down. They have happened extremely rarely, but it is still worth considering.
He noted that another reason why you shouldn't swim in a fountain is the temperature of the water. It is cold, so the dog may be at risk of hypothermia.
