BomBay Boat Rental loves the spring boating season. It's the perfect time to get out on the water with a few less crowds and a bit calmer waters. This spring, you may be wishing you could bring man's best friend on the boat with you. Well now you can! BomBay Boat Rental believes that dogs are part of the family, so we do allow dogs on our rental boats. There are a few things that you will want to consider, though, before heading out on the water with Rover. Read on to learn more about keeping your best pal safe on the Lake!
Life Jackets
Wearing life jackets is a very important part of boating in general. it can become even more important, though, when you have a pet on board. If your dog is not quite used to the noise and movement of boats, they could get nervous and try to jump overboard while the boat is underway. If this happens, it will be important for all boaters to be wearing life jackets as they get into the water to retrieve the pup. He will likely be scared and could try crawling onto their human rescuer without realizing he is dragging them underwater.
There are also several life jackets available for dogs! This can help your pet stay safe in the water, not only because of the added buoyancy, but also because they will be easier to spot so other boaters don't accidentally run them over. Make sure you bring a life jacket that fits both the size and weight of your dog before going out.
Keep Them Hydrated
Keep in mind that your dog can't naturally cool their entire bodies down by sweating. Instead, they pant and drink plenty of water. Keeping your dog hydrated during your day on the water is very important. Make sure you bring plenty of water with you for them to drink while they are on board. Diving into the water a few times is not enough. In the heat of the sun, they will likely need even more water than you are used to providing on a typical day at home.
Protect From the Sun
During your day on the water, you typically put on plenty of sunscreen and may spend some time under the shade on the boat to keep cool. Make sure you are providing these same important health precautions for your dog! Provide a cool, shaded space where they can rest away from the sun. There are also special kinds of sunscreens designed for dogs that should be used any time you are spending a lot of time out on the water with your best pal.

Boating at the Lake of the Ozarks is an incredibly fun and entertaining pastime. Even better is when you can take your "fur baby" with you to enjoy a day on the water.
