Free Dog Water Safety Posters

Something useful is on its way.

We’re putting together a set of free resources for dog owners who love the water. First up: a series of free dog water safety posters, designed to be downloaded and printed for your home, your club, your vet’s waiting room or your local paddling centre.

What’s coming

  • Free dog water safety posters, print-ready and free to download
  • The R.A.F.T. checklist as a one-page reminder for your kit bag
  • A REACT poster covering cold water, conditions and what to do in an emergency
  • Kit check guides for buoyancy aids, leads, collars and harnesses

Everything will be free to use and share. If you run a club, a training group or a paddlesport centre and you’d like posters for your noticeboard, tell us what would be most useful and we’ll factor it in.

Want to know when they land? Get in touch and we’ll let you know.
