THE PROBLEM:
Did you know that in the US, 71% of households own at least one pet? That breaks out to almost 75 million pet dogs, 88+ million pet cats and 24+ million "small pets" in those households -- totalling approx. 183 million pets! Pets that are family members, that rely on their owners to keep them safe.
According to the American Pet Association, the odds of a pet drowning are approximately one in 1,028 each year in the US alone...and over 53% of pet owners have a pool and/or spa!
The problem is very real but equally preventable.
When a pet or other animal jumps or falls in the water, they can swim for a while (some more than others) but, without a way out, they can drown from exhaustion brought on by panic or fatigue. The fact is, pools are perilous for pets and no pool owner wants anything to drown in their pool, whether it is a critter or, more especially, a pet that is considered an important part of a family! Though some drownings occur by day, they occur most often at night leaving the pool owner or lakefront resident with that cruel surprise of a dead pet or animal floating in their pool or pond.
If a pool fence or door is left open, if there is no protective fence or cover, or if no one is around to hear an alarm when an animal gets in, what then? No matter how careful you are, there is always the possibility that something can happen.
That’s exactly why Skamper-Ramps® were invented and also why federal legislation regarding pool safety measures is being developed and "Pet Safety" is one of the fastest growing segments in the Pet Industry!
In the case of vinyl-lined pools, what could be more expensive than replacement or repair that is not covered by insurance but was caused by a frantic animal trying to escape water entrapment! What saves the day? Leaving a Skamper-Ramp® installed to make sure no critter is trapped and punctures your liner.
