Most dogs can swim. Actually 99% of dogs are excellent swimmers. Why then do hundreds of dogs tragically lose their lives by drowning each year? More often than not, dogs drown in their owners own swimming pools and ponds.  Dogs who fall in ponds and pools will quickly recover their balance. The dog would quickly swim to the side and attempt to get out. This is where the trouble begins. The poor dog is not capable of dragging its wet body to dry land. The dog would keep on trying, swim around and around the pool until it use up all its energies, became utterly exhausted and sink to the bottom. In most cases, exhaustion is the cause of dog’s death.

Skamper-Ramp is a brilliant invention that prevents animals getting stuck in the pool or pond. The Skamper Ramp is white and when assembled and properly installed it angles down into the water, enabling your pet to see it leading out, day or night, 24/7. Skamper-Ramp provides peace-of-mind because your pet can 'scamper' out of the water--pool or walled pond, even back on a dock or boat ALL BY ITSELF!

This simple white, hi-tech plastic ramp attaches to the deck of the pool, walled pond, or even most docks and some boats (Note: boat installation will vary and in some cases requires ingenuity! This is because boat design is not as universally consistent as pool design).

Because all living beings see white, animals can see it—day or night—and they "skamper" out of the water on the ramp by themselves! This gives pet owners and animal lovers alike unprecedented peace of mind in terms of water safety...  www.safewateralarms.co.uk

 

 

BBC ONE FOOD INSPECTORS

Reveals potentially harmful levels of bacteria on major supermarket trolley handles. The bacteria may cause some unpleasant symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhoea and can be particularly harmful to young children, the vulnerable and the elderly.
Shopping trolley covers will prevent children from touching any of these harmful germs and experiencing these horrible symptoms.

What is a Shopping Trolley cover ?

So what is a shopping trolley cover and why should you need one. A shopping trolley cover is a piece of cotton quilted fabric that fits in the space that you put your child in whilst you push him or her around the supermarket. It is designed that if it is fitted correctly your child should not be able to touch any part of the trolley from where they are sitting.

Last year, 10 children aged under four died in water accidents in the UK. In a bid to try and reduce this figure, a short film called The Danger Age has been produced by bereavement counsellor Jenni Thomas, in consultation with families who've lost children to drowning. http://www.itv.com/goodmorningbritain/news/warning-video-for-the-danger-age

What factors influence drowning risk? •
Lack of Swimming Ability: Many adults and children report that they can’t swim.  Research has shown that participation in formal swimming lessons can reduce the risk of drowning among children aged 1 to 4 years
•No Swimming pool alarms on the pool: Every swimming pool should have a pool alarm to prevent unwanted entry into the water. Pool Alarms save lives every year by sounding an alarm when a child or even a dog (or other medium sized pet) gets into your swimming pool. Think "safety first"
• Lack of Barriers: Barriers, such as pool fencing, prevent young children from gaining access to the pool area without caregivers’ awareness.11 A four-sided isolation fence (separating the pool area from the house and yard) reduces a child’s risk of drowning 83% compared to three-sided property-line fencing.
• Lack of Close Supervision: Drowning can happen quickly and quietly anywhere there is water (such as bathtubs, swimming pools, buckets), and even in the presence of lifeguards.
• Location: People of different ages drown in different locations. For example, most children ages 1-4 drown in home swimming pools.2 The percentage of drownings in natural water settings, including lakes, rivers and oceans, increases with age.2 More than half of fatal and nonfatal drownings among those 15 years and older (57% and 57% respectively) occurred in natural water settings.
