Dive into Dolphin Adventures with Digger and his DFD
Meet Digger, the adventurous dog who has a passion for the water and a love for dolphins. Digger has been swimming and playing with these amazing creatures since he was a young pup and has captured all our hearts here at EzyDog HQ. We caught up with Digger's owners to learn about his love for the water and their essential tips for outdoor adventures with dogs.
Q: Can you tell us a bit about Digger's love for swimming with dolphins?
A: Digger has been kayaking, paddleboarding, and swimming with dolphins since he was a young pup, and he loves every moment of it. He gets so excited when he sees them, he makes lots of happy whines before jumping in to join them. He would follow them all the way to Australia (from New Zealand) if he could!
Q: What safety measures do you take when taking Digger on water adventures?
A: We always use the EzyDog DFD. It gives us peace of mind knowing that if he tires when swimming, he has the extra buoyancy to keep him up. It's also great for when Digger gets thrown around by white-water, as he pops up quickly. The vest also makes it easier for us to help him up onto the kayak or paddle board with the use of the handle.
Q: What are some essentials for water adventures with a dog?
A: Putting on the EzyDog DFD before heading out to the beach is a must. Additionally, the Leaf bottle and Go-2 Dog Lights are great for hydration and safety. We also live in a wilderness area, so Penguin aversion training is essential, especially during Tawaki Penguin moult season.
Q: How did Digger become such a well-trained and adventurous companion?
A: Digger just naturally fell into our active lifestyle. We're all water-rats, so we never left him behind on our water adventures. As a result, he adapted to our lifestyle and has been loving every moment of it ever since.
Q: Do you have any advice for other dog owners who want to go on water adventures with their furry friends?
A: Definitely consider using EzyDog's DFD for peace of mind and extra safety. And remember, training is key, especially when it comes to avoiding protected wildlife like Penguins. Have fun and enjoy the adventure!
