Kiddie Pool Floatie
Your kids may be too big for the kiddie pool, but that doesn’t mean you can’t repurpose it for your pup! Toss it in the pool and gently help your dog slide in. They’ll stay wet while floating, no doggy paddling required! YouTube user Faith The Golden proves the idea works swimmingly.
